Portrait of a typical representative of «office plankton »: the age of 20 to 40 years, income from 500 to 2000 dollars in the capital of the country and from 300 to 1500 U.S. dollars in regions. Higher education. Married or unmarried. Has the car. As a rule doesn’t have his own apartment. Lives or with his/her parents, or at a rented apartment. According to working interests, communicate within his/her circle. May communicate with the representatives of other social groups, but not very close. Besides the literature, which is needed for work, often reads fashion books! Finds information in the Internet.
It is important to understand that not every person who works in the office is the office plankton. A key feature of OP is complete interchangeability, that is, any clerk can be changed for exactly the same one, without any consequences for business (except that the positive, if the new one is paid less than the old one).
Whereas the career of a specialist depends on his skills and knowledge, a career of pin-striped masses – from the obedience and blunt zeal.
It is true that the so-called «middle class» was always the object of derision! Trades people, minor officials and servants, artisans always were figures of fun for various writers. Now it’s time of «mid-level managers».
Ooops! My psychological portrait.
ReplyDeleteI have to think about this.
Well...and all my friends also!
Especially one friend Olga S. is a copy of this character!!!
