Does this picture remind you of anyone in your office? Someone who resists changing any small part of the routine they have perfected; a routine that cannot possibly be done faster, or more efficiently?
This office icon can frequently been seen doing these annoying things:
- Crossing their arms, pursing their dino lips, and giving you the evil stink eye when your group returns from your relaxing lunch 10 minutes late and laughing
- He or she may stalk around the office giving out healty "how dare you" glares at any woman who is preposterous enough to wear a skirt that doesn't come to the knee
- When given instruction on a new routine, they roll their eyes and snort, and may say, how the heck do you think that is going to work? My way is much better!
The best advice I have for you, having come across several of these icons over the years, is to BEFRIEND them! Do the best you can to bond with the beastly co-worker.Maybe they just need some assurance that they can fit in, even if they do look and act like a T-Rex.
Hopefully, I am not describing your immediate supervisor.
