Does every workplace have a wannabe "terminator"?

[episodic]

I've noticed at all of the places I've worked there is always 1 person that always has the major "f*ck it attitude". . .

They are generally a senior employee, burned out, and trying to drag the rest down with them. . .


Is this a good observation?

Tell your story. . .

You mean the one guy who is always pissed off about something?

 

[Argo]

You have to define "f*ck it" attitude.

"F*ck it, i'm not gonna spend any time on this"
"F*ck it, I don't care if this works or not"
"F*ck it, I don't care if I piss everybody else"
"F*ck it, I'm gonna do what I want and not worry about consequences"

I dunno about the Terminator dude, but there's always the office slut... always. Then you have the others who vy for that spot.

Actually it would be the "Frack em all, let god sort em out" attitude and the "Frack em all I'm not going to be a team member, I've done this for umpteen years - and by golly I'll continue to do it this way despite ruining everyone elses day". . .


But all the others could certainly apply

I hope not.

at first I thought you were talking about the guy that goes around handing out pink slips. You are terminated. Good Bye.

This individual is created by the system. The system is defined as the thought process of the modern day corporate workforce that, instead of punishing those that do poorly, punishes those that do good by continually dumping more and more work onto them until they burn out. All the while, promoting the fvckups into positions where they cannot break something but hold everyone underneath them back.

hahah, it just so happens that the person in direct charge of me has the attitude problem. i've learned to deal with him though, and its a great lesson for when i'm in charge of others.. which could be as soon as april/may

STOP IT

I hope you leave enough space in your stomach, because I'm going to ram my fist into it!

i have one of those 'f*ck this, f*ck that, i aint doing this' people. then when upper management comes around, they clam up and take it up the tailpipe. does that count?

 

[chrisms]

My CPU is a neural net processor; a learning computer.

I've noticed there is an office pretty-boy. The guy who is 35+ who things he's a Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise. Would he be the metro-sexual Terminator?
