Twenty five percent of the people you work with are outliers. They don’t care about the job. It is simply a means to an end. They are the people that will see a puppy in the middle of the road and won’t stop for it. It’s none of their business. They might even be your local serial killer, pyromaniac, or the neighborhood cat lady.

Ten percent of the people in your workplace are so new that they don’t know how to feel. They’re not quite enmeshed. They’ve not figured it out yet. They are still in the honeymoon phase. They are easily confused. The new kids on the block looking for a place to fit in. The floaters. The easily influenced.

The final sixty-five percent… They are the involved. The gossipers. The drama kings and queens. The shit starters and stirrers. The by-the-bookers. The passionate worker bees. They are the company guys and gals. The life of the workplace. They are involved and invested in the workplace culture. They are the good, the bad, and the downright evil.

They are the type that hug trees, attend political rallies, community organizers, the loud people on their phone at Whole Foods.

Which piece of the pie are you claiming?
