Office Workers Who Won $1 Million in Lottery to Generously Share Winnings With Colleague Who Didn't Buy Ticket

Drew Weisholtz — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 20:02:42 +0000

There are about a million reasons why Jennifer Maldonado has the best coworkers in the world. Maldonado’s colleagues at Keller Williams Partner Realty in Plantation, Florida are sharing their $1 million Powerball prize with her, even though she didn’t go in on any tickets. And you think the guy in your office who springs for [...]

Co-worker Co-existence: The Psuedo-Boss

Kristin — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 13:00:07 +0000

There’s one in every office. I’ve had enough jobs to know this to be fact. There’s a rotten egg in every basket, a sore loser in every game, and the above mentioned personality in every office. It’s that person who demands respect, but has little to offer. Who, one day, if you have something they [...]

Co-worker Co-existence: The Smelly Feller

My Dearest Smelly Co-Worker:

I am writing this to you with great regret. I think you are a great person. You are funny and great at your job. But on behalf of the ENTIRE office, we need to have a talk.

This stench that emanates from your office is tough enough to deal with. Yes, we understand that you thoroughly enjoy your onions, garlic and peanut butter. And taking out your trash for you on a daily basis so that we can walk by your office is really worth the effort.

Co-worker Co-existence: The Slacker

Evan — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 13:00:02 +0000

Everyone works hard at his or her job, right? We all need that paycheck. We all care about doing what’s best for the company right? It’s about teamwork. Well, not in every office. I have worked with some folks who take the cake… literally. For example, I worked in an office where we would have [...]

Co-worker Co-existence: The Perfect Co-worker

Melissa — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 12:45:06 +0000

Co-workers spend more time together these days than they do with their own families. People always seem to have a co-worker that they could do without but there has to be that perfect co-worker out there... right?

I asked a few friends on their thoughts on a perfect co-worker. Jennifer said one that shares their food with you. Monett said, “A perfect co-worker would be one that shows up with breakfast every morning.” I did this for a while for Kristin and Evan but then I decided to go on a diet and they didn’t like me as much as they did when I brought hot, fresh breakfast in. I wonder what would happen if I brought in some hot oatmeal... it probably wouldn’t go over too well.

Co-worker Co-existence: The Prankster

Melissa — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 12:00:00 +0000

Do you have that co-worker that is always able to pull a good one on you? Sometimes office pranks can brighten up the day while others may leave someone wanting to get revenge.

But before you play a prank make sure the management knows what you are going to do. I have seen some really good ones on the web such as cupping. Cupping is where you put styrofoam cups filled with water all over a co-worker’s office. Can you imagine how long that would take to clean up? Just think about it, you could only dump 2 cups at a time.

Working here at the radio station, you have to have a good sense of humor because pranks are being played weekly. It's happened to me a few times. Okay, maybe I should say several times. One day I was out of the office and came back to find all my pen caps super-glued on. Boy, did all my co-workers get a good laugh at me while I was trying to pull them apart.

Co-worker Co-existence: The Noisemaker

Melissa — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 13:00:46 +0000

There are many kinds of co-workers but one you can not “tune” out is the Noisemaker. This co-worker irritates you just by making that sound and sends your body into a cringe.

Whether they are whistling, singing, humming, knuckle cracking, clicking their pen, sipping their drink loudly or crunching or smacking when they eat, it drives you up the wall.

Co-worker Co-existence: The Drama Mama

Kristin — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 14:00:23 +0000

One pet peeve regarding co-workers is the co-worker that brings everything to work. This is the person who literally anytime something is going a little wrong, everyone will know it. It’s frequent enough and dramatic enough that it’s certain they need attention. They will look obviously forlorn so that you will ask them what is [...]

Co-worker Co-existence

Melissa — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 13:00:20 +0000

This week, you will see many blogs on “Co-worker Personalities” from some of the staff here at Q-92. We all have co-workers we love and become great friends with and then there are those crazy coworkers that when you see them, you quickly look for a detour to avoid them. Co-workers can have an effect [...]
