Once upon a time at a workplace, lived a domineering, palm slamming on the desk harpy. As we live our life’s path, it’s impossible not to pick up life wounds. Most of us take the lesson from the encounter, learn from it, and move on. Not Cathy. To sustain her level of rancor, bitterness, and on a good day, indignation required a lot of work. A simple little fruit fly that dared to buzz by, could have Cathy go ballistic. Using a thick binder to smash it, instead of a hand swat

Once upon a time at a workplace, this story deserves popcorn and an adult beverage of choice. Oh, Quasi – will any story ever be real? Some fabricators somewhere along their life path choose to take the invention of small lies into great stories and facts that don’t exist, to become pathological fibbers. Every employee wants to make to a level where they are known as a subject matter expert or jack of all trades or the It person. Many not choose petty and lying – not here to

Once upon a time at a workplace, a man who delusionally thought he walked on top of water was hired. An ego so large, it was amazing how it could navigate door frames. Waves of misogyny at a pungent level to gag a human five feet away. Unsurprisingly stuck to male dominating industries. Best way to get testosterone boosters is osmosis. Cognitive challenges and an ability to be wrong about any subject matter he wore proudly. When one elects to be the most arrogant and repulsiv

Once upon a time at a workplace, lived an exhausting mess. The kind of mess that can raise your heartbeat to fat burning mode just watching frantic behavior like a fruit fly. A fruit fly on the last day of living, desperately trying to get their ‘to do list’ accomplished. Millie was that, with volcanic eruptions causing others to deal with the lava flow, because nothing stops a workflow faster than a fire. Easily made the main character in Clueless look like a top MIT Thinkta

Once upon a time at a workplace, lived a legend. According to Scandinavian folklore, Kevin was afraid of sun light, fluorescent light, light bulb illuminations, energy efficient lighting, and Edison’s first light bulb. Under troll protocol, he needed to be the first one in the workplace before any lights impeded his journey from his home under a dank and dark bridge. Once in, no lights were a requirement. As employees came in, flipping on light switches – the negative comment

Once upon a time at the workplace, Pam was hired and quickly developed into Completely Incompetent Genius. She traveled all over the organization. Like most workers who can’t do, their resumes are padded with fluffy stuff and words about duties and experiences (taken from other’s resumes or swipe them right off the internet) to get the job. In the interview, the hiring manager ‘loved’ her, so was hired. So smart and great personality! Pam’s story answers the burning question

Once upon a time at a workplace, a snowstorm hit and the county placed a limited travel warning up. On this day, three (3) highly qualified candidates were scheduled for interviews and one (1) barely met the qualifications needed, but recruiting scheduled that individual in anyway. The senior vice president had a quirky personality – intelligent, forward thinking artist mindset, odd social skills, and always busy. Her priorities were simply removing responsibilities and givin

Once upon a time at a workplace, Christine chose fraud in a crafty and conniving way. This challenging fraudster was hired for a role that given her experience should have been easy. There were signs. An odd inquiry, a validation that the company was ‘real’. Claimed a victim of scams. Resume not ideal with a short-term employment roller coaster. Did good in the interview and asked appropriate questions. Was hired. First day, late and sent a message after starting time. Claim
