I have the pleasure of working with a woman who is literally straight out of a sitcom with how badly she does her job. She is one big walking DON’T right out of the pages of Cosmo and Glamour. The things she does are absolutely horrifying, however, is is crucial that you look to her as an example of what not to do if you ever want to make more than 8 bucks an hour.
For those of you who would like to possess no job or decent professional references, please follow her guide to unemployment:
1. Invite your underaged coworkers to the bar while in meetings which include the Executive Director of your company.
2. Tell those same underaged coworkers how you wore 7-inch heels at the bar LAST weekend and how you woke up in some strangers bed (also, this MUST be said during the important professional meeting).
3. Forget to wear deodorant. Every day.
4. Tell minors how you conceived your litter of 8978798342 “little angels” (from different daddies). Explain to them, in detail, how condoms work, since you are the resident expert.
5. Have screaming matches on the phone with your mother. 10 extra points if you can mention somewhere in the conversation that your youngest child has fleas. 25 extra points if you say it within earshot of one of your coworkers who happens to also be a social worker.
6. Clock out early and leave your work for coworkers who have other business to attend to.
7. Tell your supervisor that the people who fill in for you on your lunch break/days you go home early do a better job than you do. And say you sincerely mean it.
8. Have a Disease of the Day. 10 points for every time you cough on a coworker. 50 points if you leave an hour after you arrive at work.
9. Hug everyone. Especially your supervisors. They love hugs in the workplace. LOVE THEM.
10. Change the way you talk with the ethnicity of each coworker. The educated Black girls you work with LOVE it when you speak gangsta with them.
11. Give out confidential information (and your job deals with LOTS of juicy stuff). Secrets, secrets are no fun, unless you share with everyone.
Now that you’ve read this vital information, watch as you go from sitting in an office chair to slouching on your couch while reading the classifieds. And if you’re desperate for cash, it looks like you’ve got the makings of a great Regional Manager for Dunder-Mifflin.
