View Full Version : Office Snobbery or Corporate Paranoia

I work in a company that has maybe 10 or so employees. There are offices dispersed throughout three floors of a building and it seems as though none of the people on one floor like anyone else on the other floors. Needless to say the people on the top floor, who share their space with the boss, seem to be a little more smug and condescending to everyone else, myself included. My question, Dear Horde King and the rest of the RonFez.net posters, is simply this. Is it right to feel as though the top floor people are secretly plotting against those on the other floors or am I experiencing a Corporate Paranoia? In a tough economy, everyone fears for their job but I feel that I may be overreacting.

Floor chauvinism. It's a common problem.
It's ok till it gets out of hand and you get your bathroom graffitti clubbing the other floors, panty raids and the like.

I don't think the location of the floor really has anything to do with it, other than the power that those have on that floor. They most likely do feel superior because they're on the same floor with the top brass. But rivalry and attitudes between workers on various floors for some reason is fairly common. I don't think it's everywhere, but I've seen it. I don't quite understand why it is that way, but I know the fucking morons who work above me can't figure it out either.

Three floors for ten employees?

Also - don't focus on sociological bullshit at work. Nobody is thinking about you, everyone is thinking about themselves.

Do a good job, don't be a pain in the ass, and everything will be fine.

EDIT: WHAT THE FUCK, WHAT HAPPENED TO MY PICTURE OF SAMMY, FRANK & DEAN?! AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!

EDIT #2: There it is. Thank you God.

Yeah, but if they make a mistake, the boss is the first one to notice. So you got it good.

A dog with only three legs. You know...since a family with 2 1/2 kids is two kids and a dog. Ah, you do the math. I'm not your teacher.

plotting - sounds like paranoia...

i've been working in the corporate world for over 15 years and have experienced the competetiveness, fingerpointing, backstabbing, and rudeness that goes on between small groups within the same dept, different dept's, whether they reside right next to each other, a floor apart, cities apart, or countries apart.

i've also seen some great teamwork between all i mentioned above.

there seems to be a higher % of the "rude" kind... i chalk it up to human nature and immaturity. It also depends alot on the type of Managing that gets passed down from the top. Some of the Management style is "cutthroat" and that gets passed onto the workers, to me it sucks.

You have to adapt to your enviornment or else you kind've get eaten up. I look at the Corporate world as "legalized slavery" But i make the best of it because noone is holding a gun to my head except my kids when they want some new clothes...

Leave an open can of meat in their radiator. The smell will drive them crazy and they wont be able to find it. you will be a hero on your floor. Then stop up there a few days later and go what stinks in here.
