Welcome!

 

WORK WITCH BLOG

 
 
 
 



Work is a place where all kinds of people are thrown together to perform a common task. These are not necessarily people you’d hang out with which explains why there are so many assholes in the workplace.

This is a guide to help you avoid uncomfortable confrontations as well as keeping you from being an asshole yourself.

We’ll start with the basics, first impressions and manners and work up to the complicated matters of how to get the most out of sucking up.

 








Appearances:
Don’t ever wear sweat pants. Never. Work is not the same as sitting on the couch at home with ho-hos and a clicker or watching porn on your computer. It’s work. 
The photos below show the difference between what you think you look like and what co-workers see when you wear sweat pants to work:




Guess which one is you in sweat pants?

If your workplace is casual, buy some nice casual clothes which are not sweat pants. If yours is a highly competitive office, you know what you have to do. Dress for the job you want, not the one you have.

No sweat shirts either. No one cares if you’re with stupid.

    1. Years ago when casual Fridays began, many employers realized what poor taste so many employees had, like the pink Mickey Mouse sweatshirt and spandex on fat butt crowd, so they re-instituted formal dress in the workplace.

      ...or maybe they were just guilty that they weren't paying their employees enough to buy clothes or giving them enough time off to shop.

      what a world, what a world...
