Personalities at Work

It doesn't matter where I've worked, personality traits seem to follow the same pattern. Just a few examples.

Mr. Blarney: This person will tell you what he thinks you want to hear, rather than the truth.

The Dreamer: He would rather be doing anything other than his job.

The PHD: Highly educated and over qualified for the job he is doing.

Peter Principle: This individual has been promoted to at least 1 ranking higher than his qualifications. (usually your boss)

Been There Done That: If you've done something, he's done something better. If you tally up his experience it will come out to 30+ years. He must of started working when he was 3

The Disciplinarian: This person doesn't want to hear the facts, just punish the individual responsible.

Chip on his Shoulder: He feels he is being persecuted and takes it out on those around him.

Team Player: This person will go along with whatever is the flavour of the moment. Will not argue and gets along with all.

Get er Done: Results are all that matters to this person. This is a dying breed, and is usually classified as an undesirable by management.

Look What I've Done: This person steals every ones ideas and implements them as his own.

Larger Than Life: Walks into a room and is the center of attention.

Newbie: Often someone who has been promoted and is unsure of himself. Worries too much about being liked

The Backstabber: Self explanatory.

The Gender Bender: Often a woman who has been placed in a position of authority over a group of Men.

Stroke Me: Always seeking approval. Must be told at all times what a good job he is doing.

I did it my Way: The only agenda that matters is his own. Will not take direction and only does what he wants.

Ready to go Postal: Short fuse. Sometimes an act to get people to leave him alone.

Brown Noser: Flatters those in a position of authority. Treats everyone else like s_ _ t

No Agenda: This is the rarest form of corporate animal. This person shows up for work everyday and just wants to do his job.

Most of you have worked with some of these personality types at some point in your work life. Did I miss any?
