Since we spend a major part of our day and lives in the office, it is very important that we have a few office friends who can double up as our office angels in times of need. Read on to find out about the 7 people you must know at work.
Receptionist: It’s always good to see a friendly smiling face when you enter the office right? And this is where the receptionist can be your “bright little ray of sunshine” at the start of the day! They can also help you by directing the food deliveries from nearby eateries to your cabin correctly, your visitors, etc. And if you don’t want to be bothered by visitors, you can count on them to put up a great act of “She’s not in today”. You never know when it might come in handy!
Security Guard at your floor: Want to send a package to your friend on the next floor? Or files to your subordinates? The security guard at your floor could be your man! They can even help with your photocopies and print outs, in case if there’s an emergency for it.
Finance Guy: “With money comes power,” and that’s what makes the financial department the most powerful silo in your office! If you have a problem with your salary statement, reimbursement, etc. you won’t have to wait for the long grueling procedures if you are in good terms with the finance guys. Also, if you happen to quit your job, you can be sure to get what you is due to you right away!
Gossip monger: They are the ones who control the office dynamics with the rumors they spread/hide! Whatever you do, you definitely don’t want to be on their hate list. For the next thing you know, a harmless conversation with the IT guy is churning in the gossip mills as a wild passionate affair! Laugh at their jokes, nod politely when they are on the “Shhh…did you hear?” spree, and they are sure to love you!
Boss’s pet: They are the ones who are always finishing the work before time, praising the boss on his shirt/tie/pant/shoes/hair/lack of hair, so it’s not at all hard to find them! They remember the boss’s birthday, throw a surprise party on his anniversary, and even ask him to wish his kids on their birthdays! Is there any suspense behind why they are the boss’s pet? If you need a holiday or two, it wouldn’t hurt to have them recommend it to the boss, right? And if they like you enough to sneak in a good word about you to the boss, brownie points to you! *wink*
Canteen guy: Late for lunch, and you just can’t do with anything else but your regular plate of egg biryani? Only your canteen guy can save the day! If you are in good terms with him, all you will need is a phone call, and rest assured!
Tech Guy: Do you have to wait for half an hour once your computer fails to get your tech guy to fix it? Well then, what you need is to go and befriend him right away! He can recover your unsaved documents, help you sneak into social websites, fix your computer, thus be your tech safety net.
