Top Employee Workplace Complaints

For a some lighter fare, a survey of hiring managers around the country by Careerbuilder.com yielded some interesting complaints that employees have about their co-workers.  I, for the life of me, can't believe that in this economy, this is some of the stuff that people are complaining about:

• Employee is too sun-tanned

• Employee has big hair

• Employee wants to check a co-worker for ticks

• Employee has bells on her shoes and it's not the holidays

• Employee suspected co-worker was a pimp

• Employee smells like road ramps

• Employee's aura is wrong

• Employee's body is magnetic and keeps de-activating my magnetic access card

• Co-Worker reminded employee too much of Bambi

• Employee is so polite, it's infuriating

• Employee is trying to poison me

• Employee is personally responsible for the federally-mandated tax increase

• Employee was annoyed the company didn't provide a place for naps during break time

• Employee only wears slippers or socks at work

• Employee breathes too loudly

• Employee wore pajamas to work

• Employee spends too much time caring for stray cats around the building

• 8 a.m. is too early to get up for work

• Employee eats all the good cookies

Well, at least no one is complaining about job security or salaries!
