Are
these types of bore working in your office?
By
Nicole Le Marie
Unless
you have the patience of a saint, you’ve probably come across someone at work
whose personality clashes with your own.
There are moments when you wish they would just leave you alone for
good. According to one expert, there are
10 ‘typical types’ of people you are likely to find around the office.
There’s
the worker bee whose permanent presence at their desk makes you worry they have
been super-glued to it, the skiver who only seems to be in at the most
inconvenient time. The brown-noser who
is intent on doing whatever is needed to get the promotion that you
deserve. It’s these people you remember,
not the person sitting on the other side of the office that gets on with
everyone and is a lot like you.
- BROWN NOSER
Every office
has one – a shameless worker who sucks up for a promotion.
- MACHIAVELLIAN
With ruthless
ambition, this character is cunning and prepares to build people up for a fall.
- CREDIT HOGGER
Often a manager
that passes off ideas as their own.
- STRESS POT
Always worrying
about something, the tiniest setback can mean the end of the world.
- CHATTERBOX
Describe as ‘buddies’. They’re probably a chatterbox.
- WORKER BEE
First to arrive
and last to leave, they have so few toilets breaks that people think their
bladder’s made of stone.
- LAZY GIT
Focusing on FB
rather than work, they manage to waste time while looking busy.
- MUG
The person who
says ‘yes’ to any task – no matter how mind-numbingly boring.
- SKIVER
With a desk
that’s covered in dust and cobwebs, skivers pull one too many ‘sickies’ for it
to be believable.
- JOKER
Oblivious to
which lines not to cross, jokers equate the nervous laughter of colleagues with
being liked.
