It's best all round not to have a personality if you want to succeed as a permie. That's my experience anyway.

I dress up in womens clothing at the weekend, so yes - I have a different personality outside of work.

This is normal no?

Damn right - Some bosses are absolute bastards. One poor sod on that site was fired just for not spotting a difference between two photos. It's there alright, but you have to look close to see it ...

Well we all know that Tony B.Liar is a lizard outside working hours. But he couldn't appear like that during the day or he'd get escorted from the building.

Everyone is like this to some extent surely. One moderates things a bit according to who you're with.

Are people just too frightened for their jobs that they have to pretend to be someone else at work ?

Doesn't that make work a sort of actors workshop don't you think?

what do you think it does to people's mental health behaiving one way in the workplace and antother outside ?

the phrase "I tried to be normal here but it was just so overrated" springs to mind.

Its all relative I suppose.

The Dutch have a saying in thsi respect ,Just act normal , because thats strange enough.
