  • The Different Kinds of Colleagues to Avoid Today

    They鈥檙e collating our votes, tensions are high, and you probably don鈥檛 care about work right now. Don’t let these colleagues add to your problem.

    Written By:

    INEC is collating the 2023 election results, tensions are high, and I can bet my last 鈧500 that 鈥 even though you鈥檝e had to resume work 鈥 it鈥檚 probably not the first thing on your mind today. Don鈥檛 let these colleagues add to what鈥檚 already doing you.

    The bad news amplifiers

    It鈥檚 like these ones just turned on post notifications for the most horrible news. Yes, we know everything is going to shit, but please, #ProtectYourMentalHealth.

    Team 鈥淲hy do you care so much?鈥

    If you check it very well, they鈥檙e probably already processing their japa papers, so they don鈥檛 care what happens. Lucky for you, Angela, but this is my own future. 

    The overly serious ones

    Anyone who鈥檚 100% focused on work today obviously isn鈥檛 normal. I said what I said.

    The suspiciously happy ones

    They might be supporters of a certain overall-best-in-rigging party. You don鈥檛 need anyone to tell you they don鈥檛 mean you well.

    The low-budget INEC officers

    They have all the figures from every polling unit in the country. On the bright side, you can always go to them for the latest, but if they鈥檙e on your work team, sorry for you because you鈥檒l have to do their work in addition to your own.

    The tribal advocates

    Avoiding this set of people is just common sense unless you want to get tempted to slap someone鈥檚 child and embrace unemployment.

    Your boss

    Today should鈥檝e been a public holiday. No one should have to answer to capitalism when we鈥檙e trying not to die from anxiety.
