Astrology tells us about people and their future by their time,
date and location of birth. The Chinese Zodiac uses the year of
a person's birth. Demographics tell us what others like, dislike,
whom they voted for, as well as what they buy and what they watch
on television. The Corporate Zodiac goes a step further: simply
by an individual's job title, people can pretty much learn about
an employee's hidden personality traits.
MARKETING:
You are ambitious, yet stupid. You chose a marketing degree to
avoid having to study in college, concentrating instead on
drinking and socializing - which is pretty much what your job
responsibilities are now. Least compatible with Sales.
SALES:
Laziest of all the Corporate Signs, often referred to as a
"marketer without a degree". You are also self-centered and
paranoid. Unless someone calls you and begs you to take their
money, you like to avoid all contact with customers so you can
"concentrate on the big picture". You seek admiration for your
golf game, clothes, car and sex appeal throughout your career.
CUSTOMER SERVICE:
Bright, cheery, positive, you are a fifty-cent cab ride from
taking your own life. As a child very few of you asked your
parents for a little cubicle for your room and a headset so you
could pretend to play "Customer Service". Continually passed
over for promotions, your best bet is to sleep with your manager.
TECHNOLOGY:
Unable to control anything in your personal life, you are instead
content to completely control everything that happens at your
workplace. Typically you went to a trade school because you didn't
have time for all that "crap" required in college. Often, even you
don't understand what the hell you're saying, but no one else
except the engineers knows anyway. It is written that the Geeks
shall inherit the Earth, but the Senior Managers keep contesting
the will.
ENGINEERING:
One of only two signs that actually studied in school, it is said
that sixty percent of all the people on the Internet are either
engineers, or wish they were one. You can be happy with yourself
and the latest technology in your field. Your office is typically
full of all the latest gadgets, catalogs and half finished spec
sheets.
ACCOUNTING:
The only other sign that studied in school, you are mostly immune
from office politics. You are the most feared person in the
organization; combined with your extreme organizational traits, the
majority of your co-workers are convinced that you are completely
without feeling or emotion. You are often caught in the Rest Room,
practicing your frown in the mirror.
HUMAN RESOURCES:
Ironically, given your access to confidential information, you tend
to be the biggest gossip within the organization. Possibly the only
other person that does less work than marketing, you are unable to
return any calls today because you have to get a haircut, have lunch,
and mail a letter ! Your favorite expression is: "Now don't say
anything, but..."
MID-LEVEL MANAGERS/ DEPARTMENT HEADS/ TEAM LEADERS:
Catty, cut-throat, and ambitious, but... you are probably destined
to remain at your current job for the rest of your life unless a
Senior Manager dies or retires. You tend to measure your worth by
the number of meetings you can schedule for yourself and the number
of subordinates you can con into sleeping with you. Best suited to
date/marry other Middle Managers, as everyone in your social circle
must be at least a Middle Manager for appearance's sake.
SENIOR MANAGERS:
You enjoy appearing to be the ultimate authority figure but actually,
you are completely spineless, and determined to remain at your
current job for the rest of your life, unless the head of your
organization dies or retires. Unable to make a single decision, you
tend to measure your worth by the number of Mid-Level Managers you
can harass on any given day and insure that your office is the
largest in the building. Best suited to date/marry other Senior
Managers, as everyone in your social circle is a Senior Manager;
besides, no one else would have you anyway.
