Alright, so you got the job offer, the salary, and the benefits that you wanted (well the ones you would accept, at least). It’s your first day on the job and you are dressed for success! You’ve just finished up your HR new hire orientation session and now it’s time to meet your new team! This is actually a pretty big deal because the people you are about to meet will become a big part of your life for the next three to five years. If you think about it, you are going to spend at least forty hours a week working, eating, learning, and (everyone’s favorite) meeting with this group of people. Every office setup is a little different. In some instances, your team will sit intermingled with other teams, whereas others you may have whole floors or halls where it’s just your team.
In any case there are some very distinct personalities that EVERY team, department, or section has. You will definitely meet some of the personalities on this list, so pay attention and you can know what to expect from each of them. Now without further ado, in no particular order, good bad or indifferent, here is the co-worker personalities list:
- The Jerk
- The Shoveler
- The Guru
- The Old Timer
- The Strange One
- The Lazy One
