I hate it when old men, I mean pretty old, call someone on the phone (like their wife) and when she answers they say "How You Doin'" like Joey from friends. It's just wrong.
I am writing this while sitting at an airport gate.
They say that character is how you behave when no one is watching. I think how employees act when they are not "on" also speaks volumes. I just passed two airline gate workers jawing with each other while riding (not walking) on a people mover.
Not only were they lounging on the people mover, but when I walked up behind them, they made no effort to let me pass. They continued their conversations about how hard their jobs are or some other blathering.
If I had an employee who moved so slow (well....not at all in this case) while they were on the clock I would fire them on the spot.
The other day I was wondering what it must feel like to have absolutely zero ambition. I think these two demonstrated to me that it feels pretty relaxing.
