We all have that one jerk in the office that you simply cannot stand. He is boisterous, arrogant, selfish little prick that everyone just wishes for his resignation. Here are some telltale signs that you have a jerk or (maybe it is YOU) in your work environment.
Colleagues talk behind your back, and you don’t know why
You think everyone is jealous of you
You think everyone is bias of you
You think everyone wants to get rid of you
Nobody wants to have lunch with you
You strut into a meeting late and not be ashamed
You assume someone will save you a seat at the same meeting
You think handing in work late is what everyone is doing
You think you are honest when you insulted the secretary’s choice of clothes
You called your secretary by the wrong name even though she had been working for you for the past 7 years
You brag about how you singlehandedly top your numbers in the company….ten years ago
You brag about who you know in the industry all the time
You think it is God given that the receptionist should greet you every morning. Like it’s her job.
You refused to take in anyone’s opinions and ideas even though theirs are better than your own
You think your ideas are always better just because you know so…
You get a stapler from Secret Santa, and you recognise it is the same type your company uses
The only person who talks to you during the office party is your CEO
You keep getting stuck in awkward situations without realising it
You bark orders at people even folks that are not on your team
You swear a lot at the tiniest thing people said or do
Everyone seems to offend you
Everyone appears to avoid you
Even the janitor gets a personalised mug from secret Santa
Nobody empties your trash bin whereas everyone’s cubicle is sparkling clean
You gave extra work to your staff just 10 minutes before the day ends every Friday without fail
You will call your team randomly on weekends just to make sure they are at your beck and call
You don’t share information. Instead, you purposely leave out the key points when passing messages to someone else
Nobody remembers your birthday, and nobody wants to anyways
Colleagues rather email you a simple request than to walk over to your desk or even pick up the phone to talk to you
Colleagues rather do your part of the project/work than to pair up with you or to ask you for help
Do you have such a jerk in your office? How do you feel about him or her? I probably missed out a lot of points here, and you are welcome to add in some at the comments below!
