Every single place of business has employees that have certain characteristics that make us scratch our head or thank our lucky stars to have them.
There is always a multitude of different personalities that people exhibit in the workplace, and they’re all incredibly interesting, to say the least, especially those that work part-time jobs in food service and hospitality. That’s the worst type of community to exhibit multiple different personality types in each and every coworker.
But the best part about it: each coworker can easily be represented by “The Office.”
(Que “The Office” intro)
Dununun dunununun dununununun…
1. Creed Bratton
The oldest member of your staff, and more than likely the weirdest. They have a sketchy past that nobody can really piece together, and the fact that they’re actually still on staff is quite disturbing. Half of the stuff they say makes no sense.
They work so hard to try and connect with one of the youngest members of the staff. Typically, nobody understands why they're actually working in that job when they should've moved on to an actual full-time job...somewhere else.
You can never tell if what they say that’s kind of sketchy is a joke, or if they’re serious, and if they’re serious, it’s kind of a really dark piece of their life that you never wanted to know.
2. Andy Bernard
The staff's kiss-ass. The guy that will sit there and do anything possible to stab other coworkers in the back in order to get in good with the boss. The kind of guy that everyone kind of despises, but at the same time appreciates for all of his hard work when they take your shift in order to look good in the bosses eyes. This person usually tries to do everything they can in order to manipulate others to like them, but it ends up backfiring most times.
3.) Stanley Hudson
Ever caught yourself saying these words about a coworker? “It drives me nuts how they do the absolute bare minimum to not get fired yet continue to collect a paycheck.” You, my friend, have yourself a Stanley on your hands.
They spend more time looking around or talking about how tired they are. They make sly attempts to either nap or play games on their phone because not many people do crosswords anymore.
They typically have far too much sass for anyone to want to deal with. Even the most confrontational person refuses to make a confrontation with them.
They look forward to the day when they no longer have to show up to the establishment. Often times when they show up, their work goes unnoticed…because it was never done in the first place…and they’re asleep again.
4. Dwight
Dwight: the staff's know-it-all. The one guy that literally drives everyone batshit insane some days with the ridiculous measures they go through to be “thorough” or “proper” with what they do. Doing absolutely everything and anything by the book no matter how long it takes and is always absurdly smug if you disagree with them.
They are the one person on the team that is flat out the definition of the word “extra.” This person probably has no sense of humor or an absolutely sick and twisted sense of humor at that.
The Dwight of the group will constantly annoy you with how “knowledgeable” they are, even if what they know is absolutely asinine. They have absolutely no real thought process before they do things. Typically, they have no sense of social norms and will be the most socially inept person around the office because of their quest for company domination.
People are ridiculous, but your Dwight is the king of the ridiculous.
5. Jim or Pam (female or male)
The commonsense place of the office. This person can be either male or female and represented by two different characters, Jim and Pam. They are by far the most level-headed collected people in the entire show, so you’ll probably come to find your own character being the one that’s always the perfect example of logic and common sense.
They’re typically the ones that know at what point your plan is going to fail and then allow you to go ahead and do it, because if they didn’t let you fail, “How else would you learn?”
6. Michael Scott
There’s the one manager that nobody understands how they ever got to be a manager. Their style is completely ridiculous and their efforts to do anything throughout the day are 100% frivolous because they have no idea what’s going on.
They usually do far more distracting others than they do getting their own work done. The entire place would run 100% more smoothly if that one manager literally just didn’t show up one day.
Your coworker has no sense of personal boundaries to the point where it's usually creepy or very socially uncomfortable. The most inappropriate human in the
