Do not give out any personal information. This is like do you have a girl who cries at the smallest inconvenience? Do you have someone who is a parent and that alone is now their personality? Do you have a guy who you hide from Monday mornings so he doesn’t tell you about the fish he caught on Sunday that was THIS BIG!

Keep it light hearted!

    • gym teacher manager. Not great at the math and science parts, but believes in his team
    • checked out youth. Watches YouTube instead of working.
    • checked out elder. He’s so close to retiring. He’s got stories to tell from before HR was all formalized
    • checked out middle career guy. He wanted to fix things. Then he fell into the tar pit. Why bother when a ten minute fix is going to take two research spikes, a stakeholder meeting, a team meeting, a feedback meeting, a sprint planning meeting and so on. Fuck it.
    • day care HR. Do they work? Who knows. They seem nice, when you can find them.
    • quiet union sympathizer. Got a “talking to” about it, so now he just shit talks management in back channels. Joins meetings smoking from his back porch. Knows where some bodies are buried.

    I work at a bad place.

      Yeah, doesn’t sound too good but have worked with all of those, just never at same time. Hell I was the checked out middle career guy!
