Did any of you read Stephanie Rosenblum`s article by that title in the NYT on Jan 18 about the categories of kinds of people you`re surrounded by at work? It was a great read.

Options include:

"Indecisive"
"Know-It-All"
"Agreeable"
"Complainer"
"Silents"
"Sherman Tanks"
"Aggressivists"
"Negativists"
"Bull Dozers"

Any of these labels make sense when you look around at work?

What happened to:
"the Competent one"
"the Pragmatist"
"the Efficient, Gets-Things-Done"
"the Optimist"

?

Since I work at home and don`t have any kids on any given day I can be:

"Indecisive"
"Know-It-All"
"Agreeable"
"Complainer"
"Silents"
"Sherman Tanks"
"Aggressivists"
"Negativists"
"Bull Dozers"
and also
"the Competent one"
"the Pragmatist"
"the Efficient, Gets-Things-Done"
"the Optimist"

Sounds like a great article.

I`m surrounded by a "Tornado", an "Indecisive", a "Complainer" and a "Bull Dozer" ...

My 1yo!

I checked out the article though, and I can say one thing ... I am so glad I work for myself now! It reminded me of 101 reasons why I don`t ever want to work in an office again ...

All 3 of my boys are perfectly described by the list, especially the Know it
all!!
