Don’t Like To Work? Here’s A Five Step Plan For You
02.13.2007 | Chris BaileyFor some good Tuesday humor that might conjure up images of Office Space, John West offers five ways to kill your career.
- Ignore deadlines
- Turn in sloppy work
- Make sure everyone knows you’re right
- Obfuscate your communication
- Always focus on #1
As John points out, it takes dedication and savvy to do this right. Constantly ignoring deadlines or consistently making poor presentations will only get you sent to your manager’s office for remedial training. Worse, you may get fired and then have to start over again somewhere else. It takes real talent and attentiveness to be a lousy employee yet still keep your job. Unless you want to get fired, right?

Chris – thanks for the link. I’ve had a lot of fun with that piece…lots of responses. I’ve enjoyed reading your blog. Keep it up!
Right back at ya, John. It’s good to find an engineer with an enjoyably snarky sense of humor. Glad I found your writings and your book.
