How to Spot a Damn Good Hypocrite at Work

A how-to article about spotting hypocrites in the workplace.

The hypocrites of this world are perennial like the grass.  You can see them everywhere, they grow everywhere and they live even if you will not give them attention.  They are there.  They are probably invisible if you cannot see them physically with your naked eyes. They are like a house pest, you just can’t get enough of them.

Let’s see.  If they are abundantly present in the universe, they must probably have variants.  Yes, just like cars, perfumes, colognes.  You know all the over the counter items.   But if they are indeed available like these items, I wouldn’t buy these yucky creatures.

Why am I writing about them?  Why am I even wasting my precious time talking about these kind of people?  Well, it will take the stress out of me because maybe, only maybe if I can write about them then I would be able to help others out there to spot one and be able to put up their guard.

Let’s see… if we will talk about these good for nothing creatures we should identify them first.  If they strike everywhere, it would be hard to classify them.  Better, let us try one place at a time.  Since I spend most of my time in the office, I am most expert in identifying them in the corporate world.  Let’s enumerate them:

  1. The hipo-worker – this type of hypocrite plays the part of a busy bee but in reality he is the most unproductive and good for nothing bastard who just tinkers his computer and surfs the damn web or chat his working hours away.  What is most interesting about this type is that he does this when most of his colleagues are busy doing reports to catch up on the deadline.
  2. The friendly hipo – this type is the most common.  The person will pretend to be your friend but deep beneath those charming smile and amicable gestures is a monster ready to tear you up.  What is even worse when they are found out they would turn the table against you.  This kind of moron would even weave stories to make it look like that it was him who have been deceived.  Wicked!
  3. The Samaritan – this type is the most devious of all.  He will pretend to help and assist you in anyway but what he is trying to do is really set you up into something he wants you to be in…TROUBLE.  Yes, believe it or not this type of hipo really knows how to maneuver things. 
  4. The know-it-all – among these types this probably is the most hated.  Trying to be smart and witty, this type would try to steal the show.  It is his illusion that he is on top of the survey list of Mr./Ms. Popular.  Yeah right! Number one enemy of all.

There are probably a lot more but I must be lucky not to have met their kinds yet. Now that you know, it is all up to you to decipher them when they are lurking in your place.  I would say it is still better to be true to oneself.  You might end up not knowing who you are anymore.  BEWARE!
