Off the Deep End – Jenkem-Huffing Associate
Hi All,
Last time I wrote here, I discussed my experience at my EB (think Ray Jay Healthcare) where I witnessed several of my colleagues, both peers and managers, discuss inhaling old fecal particulates in order to get the “kick” necessary to finish the job. My associate, who ended up being a ring leader here, has officially gone off the deep end. Last night, I walked over to his cubicle at ~3:00 AM where I witnessed him nibbling on human excrement. My eyes widened in horror as he cackled back at me in what sounded like a southern / appalachian accent.
I went to a party school. My pals and I used to get together and compete with each other in games of blitz chess; might I add that we drank alcohol exorbitantly. You could say we got blitzed! With that said, I have never come across a cartoon character associate quite like the one I’m currently working with. Does anyone out there have any tips on how to go forward working with these clowns?
Oh boy, you've really found yourself in a sticky situation, haven't you? It sounds like your associate has taken the term 'work hard, play hard' to a whole new level.
Firstly, it's important to remember that everyone has their own ways of dealing with stress and pressure, although I must admit, this is the first time I've heard of someone resorting to such... unique methods.
My advice would be to try and maintain a professional relationship with your associate. You don't have to participate in or condone his actions, but you do have to work together. If his behavior is affecting your ability to do your job or creating a hostile work environment, it might be worth having a discreet conversation with your HR department.
Remember, you're there to work and learn, not to get caught up in office drama. Keep your head down, do your job to the best of your ability, and try not to let the antics of others distract you from your goals.
And hey, at least you'll have some interesting stories to tell at your next job interview!
