Cappuccino for him!


Working in an office for more than a year has made me realize how an office is like a classroom for grown-ups with more complicated topics, more demanding teachers, endless amounts of deadlines and my favourite – teacher’s pets.

It doesn't matter how much you love your job, deep down there is always a teacher's pet that will make sure to ruin your day.

When I got out of university I thought I was done with competitions and people trying to impress others with good grades and boasting about their above average IQ I was wrong- these teacher's pets are everywhere, and they multiply like rabbits in an office environment.

Teacher's pets come in different forms and sizes. Do not underestimate people, they might have a hidden agenda and just because you were thought to be courteous and friendly to others, doesn't mean that others have the same values. 

If one lets them get to him/her, it will certainly destroy your work experience and from loving your job it will turn to something you dread.

One has to keep focused and his/her fingers crossed that the managers will realize that you are good at your job; you work hard and that you do not have to bring him cappuccino and buy lunch for him/her in order for him/her to see that you are focused and driven.

Be nice to the teacher’s pet and hopefully our friend Karma will have a go at them one day.

Before you go to bed at night you can say, I have a good conscious and you are not putting anyone under the bus.
 Ponder …
Mmmm ….. throw them under the bus ….literally….now that would solve the problem quicker and then I can get cappuccino for the manager!
