One Unit, Variable Personalities

One Unit, Variable Personalities



To begin with,like most of my other posts this one isn't arbitrary, written out of boredom.This is something based on series of experience.So anyway, I've always wondered what is an office unit all about. I hope most of you who still haven't started working yet think about it too. Otherwise this subject will add up to the list of things based on my futile thinking . Getting back to the topic,offices vary depending upon the workforce and mechanics, of course it varies technically,mechanically and blah. But I believe beyond everything else,an office is all about the people. The people working in an office make it what it is. After all they are the one's who build up the whole atmosphere of it. To be honest,from a layman's point of view,me for that matter, an office is one of the most dull places filled with bored,worried,confused and some rare happy faces. But what's so fascinating about an office? Okay I know I already mentioned it's all about it's people. But againindispensablenating? (Sorry the interrogation affair doesn't seem to get over). So like always,after I come up a question,I'll be answering it too! And I would say, fascinating aspect about the people is that it's rather enthralling to witness such variable personalities all under a single unit in perfect symphony.
Yes,it's obvious when you're supposed to work with a bunch of people you end up living in harmony with or without choice,but if you look at it through a philosopher's eye, One could say- An office is like an individual's hand with 5 variable sized fingers altogether forming a perfect fist. (Sincere apologies, I genuinely didn't intend to put you off to sleep) 

   

So I would say an office is comprised of the following people,in the order of appearance  right from entering the office to the exit:

1. The Frustrated / Happy/ Too Cool Receptionist:- Okay so you enter the office,the receptionist is the first person you see. If there's one receptionist,he/she will be supremely frustrated in life. One of those abandoned looking citizens.Well if there are two receptionists,my observation has it, they have to be two opposite personalities. (Okay,I know it sounds like an idea of some perfect couple) But it  stands true. One of the receptionists has to be the happy to help jovial kind of a person whereas the other one is just too cool in his/her fantasy world complied by the foreign accent which develops up in a Mumbai environment,Like isn't that WOW?
2.  The Subordinate:- This is my personal favorite aspect of the entire office unit. Irrespective of the working background you belong to, the subordinate is even cooler than the cool receptionist and even more dominating than probably than CEO himself.  All he/she needs is few people working at his command.Even if few means two people,it's quite a treat for him. I'm sure he/she has faced enough torture all his life throughout because otherwise no one really cribs about every second thing happening around and thinks he/she runs the office. 
3. The Indispensable Crew:- So who forms a part of the indispensable crew? The indispensable one's of course  (Okay,please do not run away). But seriously the adjective indispensable is just right for this group in particular, the office wouldn't be as secure,clean and organized without their presence. These individuals are one's who ensure that every person entering the office comes in with an actual purpose(though planting a bomb is a purpose actual enough) but here it obviously implies an actual purpose under the office norms. The security deserves a salute on that one. And talking about cleanliness,yes ensuring that everything is spick and span including a telephone(I'm not making it up) It requires ALOT of patience and lastly the resource allocatement team, coordinating every single thing .Okay I missed out another set of important people,the organization drivers.They'll drive you home and make sure you're enthralled enough,they know EVERY minute detail about the office even though they're not even present in the office premises. But otherwise kudos to them, they drive you home safely and share some honest piece of word. 
4. The Efficient Employee:- So this person is one of the most amazing people you would come across in an office. This person knows where he/she stands and has learnt to respect his position well enough  and also the people around him.This individual is always a helping  hand to the confused-traumatized amateur individuals. And but of course such people are the most loved and respected ones at the office. Obviously,they well deserve it.
5. The Humble Official :- If one needs a clear example of how an individual at an authoritative level should be as a person.This particular character in the office teaches you to enjoy the position while respecting others around you whether it is the junior officials,the subordinates or even the clerk for the matter. Just what you call savoring success with dignity. If you really want to learn something about work, people and not to forget lessons of life,he/she is the person one must approach.
6. The Incredible Cool Administer:- To explain the incredible part of the story,if we subtract any unethical possibility this individual is obviously incredible at his/her job to be the administer. And it's rather surprising when you see almost every second person struggling hard to put pieces together and this individual gets done with his/her job which mind you involves manifold of everyone else. And for the Cool aspect, well it's obviously cool when you see this individual interacting with every  person in the office when he/she  is already occupied enough with a number of tasks and responsibility to meet a thousand things on earth. Even if the interaction is all about a new reform or an item song for that matter,he/she will find time for it. Yes I mean sometimes the Yo Oh So Cool attitude is rather funny but nevertheless it's Not Harmful.

8. So next time you think aboutn office or you rather happen to be at your work place do think beyond the workload and endless office demands. The black and white unit has a variable to it which is colorful,do look out for these variable personalities. After all creating a world of people based on their traits isn't one of the worst ideas.
