I was on my way home with some of my colleagues at work when i talked about this, allouh convinced me to post it , hope you like it...
Working in Many places until now , dealing with all different types of people made me realize that employees come in only few categories, I hope I include them all,
1- Smart: the ones that are always right, this type is hated but respected at the same time, they are the most qualified to succeed but for some reason their career is a struggle against endless obstacles.
2- stupid: this is the type that everyone hate to work with, the very same type that you forget to send meeting request to or if they don't come to work, you don't even notice, they lack since of adventure, but they do exactly what they are asked to do! But they have to ask many questions of course!.
3- social: the nice people that like to help anyone that comes along, but when in need they are totally alone, the good relationship with everyone makes it hard for this type to complain about performance , they are usually mistaken as non-productive people, but they are good performing hard working and non-complaining employees, and they are usually under estimated.
4- Multi-personalities: this is the best type for success, the worst for companionship, these people are the one that yell at you one day for not saying good morning and thank you in a meeting for being too busy to say good morning, they are unpredictable people, not smart but mainly mood driven , I think they suffer from Multi-Personalities disorder or a hormones malfunction, these are the most dangerous!.
5- Cranky: what ever you do they wont be happy, nuthing makes them too angry and nothing makes them calm, they are always is a constant state of rage, so do whatever makes you happy!
6- Mysterious: these are the ones that come early, leave early and finish all their tasks, nobody know what do they do exactly or what skills do they have, people assume that they are arrogant but the issue is that they come to work only for the money, this type is qualified but not highly motivated.
However; an average employee is a mixture of all these six stereotypes, so in order to be normal you have to be smart and have 5 disorders... ironic isn't it :)

dude i can't stop laughing, thanks for taking my advice :)
ReplyDeleteyou hit the spot with this categorization
you keep impressing me with your posts! am glad you shared this smart categorization with us... and am sure that everyone who reads this post put himself in one of those categories, but not all of them! dios!! its so hard to be an average employee!
ReplyDeletenice post. i can't think of another type to add to what you said and i think you hit them all.
ReplyDeletewhat do you consider your self to be? which one of the above and why?
there is also one sub-type (a hidden type). its the one that is open minded with good skills and vision, smart, social, and funny. the one that finds him/her self in an environment they can't grow in or use all their skills they gathered through the years. so then they pretend to be average employee for some time, then they get bored and become one of the mysterious.
