It’s the middle of summer and time to take a break from all the technology wheeling and dealing.
CareerBuilder released a survey today designed to “bring a little levity” to the midst of a very stressful working environment. The national job site surveyed 2,600 hiring managers to find out what were the oddest complaints they received from employees against their fellow co-workers.
Here’s the 20 Most Bizarre Complaints:
• Employee is too sun-tanned.
• Employee has big hair.
• Employee eats all the good cookies.
• Employee is so polite, it's infuriating.
• Employee suspected co-worker was a pimp.
• Employee is trying to poison me.
• Employee’s body is magnetic and keeps de-activating my magnetic access card.
• Employee is personally responsible for a federally-mandated tax increase.
• Employee was annoyed the company didn’t provide a place for naps during break time.
• Employee only wears slippers or socks at work.
• Employee's aura is wrong.
• Employee smells like road ramps.
• Employee breathes too loudly.
• Employee wants to check a co-worker for ticks.
• 8:00 a.m. is too early to get up for work.
• Employee wore pajamas to work.
• Employee has bells on her shoes and it's not the holidays.
• Co-worker reminded the employee too much of Bambi.
• Employee spends too much time caring for stray cats around the building.
• A male employee keeps using the ladies’ room because the men’s room is not as tidy.
The survey brings to mind a number of questions, including what does a road ramp smell like? But for our technology-oriented audience it raises this one: There must be a number of pet peeves about fellow co-workers that are particularly germane to people working in data centers or other technology-specific environments.
How about the employee who insists on pointing things out on your computer screen with their finger, leaving smudge prints behind? Or the co-worker who insists on using ALL CAPS in their emails, which makes you feel like you’re constantly being screamed at?
Don’t be shy, share some of the reasons here why you think your technology co-worker should be shown the door – or at least issued a polite cease and desist order from HR.
