      Cluttering their desks with photos of loved ones, toys, art created by their children and other tat.

        Complaining about any type of change... and then demanding change.

          You mean so everyone catches it so the entire office can be off sick over Christmas and pass it to the rest of their families. What a nice person.

            Whispering in corridors over x's promotion or payrise.

            licking bosses particularly in meetings.

            Getting upset over payrises.

              "but it's always been like that, why does it have to change?"

              (muttering to anyone who will listen) "if they think that i'm gonna stand for that new system i'm walking out of here right now, the company will fall I tell ya.."

              .. 2 weeks later, still sat at the same desk

              "ohhh this new system is so much worse than the old one, shame that it replaced Sue though, if they think im going aswell then they'll have a fight on their hands"

                Whispering in corridors about how the contractors will no longer be required, the second a once personable permy can't look you in the eye you know the game is up.
                Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                  Yes... as a matter of fact she light-heartedly said this was her intention before she set off. If me and the Irish girl escape this disease we'll be very fortunate.

                    thinking a 2 week test cycle can be shoe-horned into a week so that system launch only has to be delayed two weeks.

                      Bragging about the free crèche, 6 weeks holiday, full sick pay, final salary pension, company car etc etc and then moaning about how the contractors earn so much.
