What kind of employee you are...Horoscope


Aries Employee Profile

==================



Aries employees make excellent troubleshooters.



They'll usually want to be out in the field at a variety of

different

work sites fixing things. They certainly won't be happy for very

long behind a desk in a 9 to 5 schedule.



The bored Aries employee who has been forced into a square

hole will typically be restless, angry, and careless with details.

No amount of money would compensate for being stuck in a

routine job. Money in fact isn't why they are working at all.

They do want to be paid fairly and need a status position to

satisfy their competitive tendencies--

but even more importantly, they'll want challenging new

projects. They typically like to have a sense of responsibility

and need to feel needed. In return, they'll give their all and

provide detailed, consistent work. They will literally work

themselves to exhaustion to prove themselves.



If you want to keep your Aries co-worker productive and happy,

you'll want to give them the opportunity to work independently

or let them help and lead less experienced workers.

Taurus Employee Profile

===================



Taureans make some of the best employees. They are loyal,

hardworking, and no-nonsense. They work methodically and

follow projects through until they are complete. Some may

appear to work a little too slowly-usually because they are so

careful-but they will always finish what they start. They thrive on

structure, schedules, and routine. You'll find them doing the

same exact thing at the same time every day.



Taureans, however, are not exactly the malleable workers that

they often appear to be. If they have to work in a chaotic

environment, they won't be happy and will be prone to child-like

temper tantrums and stubbornness. They might react similarly if

they have to work around ignorant people or at a job where

there is no obvious potential for advancement.



Taureans will be very unhappy if there isn't a ladder for them to

climb. Even in the worst situations, they will find a way to

advance slowly, winning over the most difficult people who

may stand in their way of progress.



Taurus employees will only take so much patiently and happily

before they feel they are being taken advantage of. They will

gladly accept orders and do whatever dirty work needs to get

done, but they expect rewards. They want material gain, salary

increases, and the potential for more power.



To make your Taurus employees happy, be sure to give them

projects through which they will see tangible results-hopefully

something that will allow them to express their unique creativity

in addition to their practical side. They don't want to feel mired

in details for long periods of time.



Make sure to schedule regular performance and salary reviews.

This show of respect should keep them loyal to the company.







index

Gemini Employee Profile

===================



Gemini employees can have difficulty concentrating on one

thing for long periods of time. They have quick-moving minds

and love to talk and communicate their ideas with others.

They thrive on social interaction -- even if their jobs don't

particularly support it. You'll be able to find them wandering

from desk to desk gossiping about all the sordid news in the

office. They can be powerful persuaders in their speech and

make ideal salespeople and mediators. They love to nego-

tiate and can work out the best Deal for everyone involved.



When properly stimulated, they can manage to keep their

wandering mind focused and actually be quite productive.

When they are bored, bogged down with mundane detail-

work, or forced to work with people who they consider droll,

they can become mean-spirited and gossipy. Their moods

can fluctuate vastly day to day, as well as their productivity.



It is really against their nature to be forced into an average

workday schedule and environment. They are happier traveling.

lf they are in an office they will need constant new stimulation.



Most will be wanting advancement if they see this as a way to

escape the limitations of their jobs. This can motivate them to

put extra effort into their job. If you work with a Gemini, try to

avoid getting into any debates with them - they will surely

win and it could end in some hard feelings on your part. They

will need an accepting environment-one that supports their

need for multi-tasking.







index

Cancer Employee Profile

====================



The Cancer employee isn't at work to feed their ego -- their

job is just a job and a means to get paid. They work steadily

and are usually very reliable. You'll be able to depend on them

to show up on time and do what is necessary. They won't get

involved in power struggles or get upset when someone

advances before them. They are able to accept the situation

because they see it simply as a rung on the ladder up. Their

motivation is security.



They'll want more money the longer they've stayed at a job.

They don't want to have to worry about how they'll make ends

meet tomorrow so they'll need a stable position without much

risk. Cancerian workers can slip into some dark moods on

occasion.



During these periods productivity tends to drop-as well as

everyone else's in the office. Their moods can be so strong

everyone becomes affected. To avoid the frequency of these

occurrences, managers and co-workers should try to make

the work environment as homey as possible-keep it well

heated, cozy, and friendly. Don't press them to reveal their

true inner thoughts-their tendency is to be secretive and

protective, and they could see prying as an attempt to

disturb their security.





index

Leo Employee Profile

=================



Leo workers want to be first and at the center of the office.

Even if they can't lead, they'll look for every opportunity to

increase their own status -- and if someone else seems

ahead of them, look out. They will make it clear that they

aren't happy by pouting and complaining. They want

advancement so much that they'll take on more respon-

sibility and carry a heavier load than anyone else does in

the office. And they are self-promoters. It is likely that they

are telling everyone in the office what a great job they are

doing as well as giving everyone unwanted advice.



They know they are superior and want everyone to know it

as well. This arrogance can sometimes cause problems

when working with management. But typically, they are just

hard workers out to demonstrate just how good they really are.



They thrive in sales positions - they can promote a product

or company just as well as they promote themselves.



Their strength and arrogance isn't just show either. In a crisis

situation, Leos really demonstrate their true courage.



Leos want to lead and will be pushing for more responsibility

and rewards. They are happy to train and mentor new co-

workers as they enjoy giving advice and being in positions of

authority.



If you are trying to manage a Leo employee, you'll need to

give them plenty of praise, responsibility, and independence.

They will certainly want to help lighten your load of manage-

ment responsibilities. Just be careful- the next thing you know

they could be taking over your job.





index



Virgo Employee Profile

==================



In the right situations Virgos love to work. They make ideal

emloyees, happily working late into the night to make sure

everything is perfect and in order. If you are looking for an

employee who doesn't mind starting from rock bottom in the

most entry-level position at the company, hire a Virgo.



They'll have no complaints about the position being beneath

them. They are CONTENT with basic, honest hard work.

Their contentment isn't always apparent, however.



They love to worry. They are quick to criticize

the way things are done around the office and are the first

ones to grumble disapprovingly at what they consider to be

extravagance or laziness. They are blunt and honest and

don't mince words over what they feel just isn't right.



Usually, this will be brought on by someone doing a half-

baked job or not being considerate of other co-workers.



You'll want to constantly reassure them, but this will do little to

quell their anxieties. They actually enjoy worrying, and there

is little you can do about it. Just give them a detail - oriented

project and let them work alone on it. You won't have to

supervise a Virgo worker. They'll check all the facts before

getting started and catch their own errors when they are done.



To keep a Virgo employee happy, you should also make sure

their environment is orderly and calm. You should also provide

small gestures of appreciation. They don't need extravagance,

just let them know you appreciate them in small ways that

won't embarrass them. They will probably just shrug their

shoulders and say, "It's no big deal." But deep down inside

they need these little reassurances.







index

Libra Employee Profile

==================



Libra employees are detailed, dedicated workers with

sensitive natures. Managers and co-workers sometimes

find them difficult to get a handle on. They pick up the

energy of the office and are unable to prevent it from

affecting them. Loud noise, flashy colors, and discordant

vibrations will put them off so much that they will have

difficulty fulfilling their obligations at work.



One day they may seem like the most bright, hardworking,

ambitious employee around. The next day they might be

down, irritated, and unable to produce. Co-workers

shouldn't fret when Libra employees are in a dark mood.

It really won't last, as a happy state of mind can come over

them just as quickly. When Libra employees are in a

balanced frame of mind, they can be a powerful presence

at work-they have a way of gracing everything they touch.

Underneath that mess of moods, they really are basically

happy and stable people. They are capable of profound

logical thought and evaluate all sides of a situation before

acting. They are one of the most intelligent Signs around.



They are expert researchers and mediators. And their

sensitivity to their environment makes them naturals at

keeping things looking great. They will easily help others

resolve conflicts and can act as a go-between with workers

and management so that everyone ends up happy.



If you want to keep your Libran worker smiling, give them

the respect they are due and put them in a position where

they can project their great charm and diplomacy. They

won't be CONTENT to take orders for very long, either-

make sure they are given increased responsibility.



index

Scorpio Employee Profile

====================



Scorpio employees usually exude a quiet self-confidence. They

are self-sufficient and do not depend on others for a sense of

self-worth. They keep their private life separate from work and

take complete responsibility for their actions and their situation.

They don't make excuses; they just take care of business and

expect everyone else to do the same. Those who don't, co-

workers and managers- will have to endure the Scorpio wrath.



They don't mind being completely vocal about what they feel is

wrong with any given situation. And if you tread on their fire be

sure to expect retaliation. They won't take insults or opposition

lying down.



If you manage a Scorpio employee, be sure to follow through

with your word and don't break any promises-Scorpio is

keeping track and building up some heavy resentments

against you if you do. You may not even be aware of it until

too late-but when Scorpio gets too much, you'll be sure to

know.



Scorpio employees will react towards those around them

exactly as they are treated. When they get what they want,

they will be very accepting.



If you are trying to work with or motivate a Scorpio co-worker,

be sure to treat them respectfully and act professionally.

Give them challenging work that allows them to utilize their

awesome self-confidence and courage.







index

Sagittarius Employee Profile

======================



The Sagittarian employee is head strong, cheerful, and willing

to help. They exude self-confidence and take on tasks like

there's no tomorrow. They are willing to tackle even the

toughest of projects as long as it is challenging and gets them

out of the routine. Lucky for them, their shining personalities

and honest enthusiasm seem like a bright spot in the office-

otherwise co-workers might begin to build animosity towards

someone so arrogant and extravagant.



Their tendency to exaggerate and take on more then they can

handle usually results in missed deadlines and dropping the

ball-not because they are lazy of procrastinate, but because

their enthusiasm just gets the better of them sometimes.

Don't let their nonchalance fool you-they really do care about

what they are doing. They just have an easy-going attitude

that allows them to keep on smiling even when they just

messed up big time.



Just because they are flexible and easy-going doesn't mean

they won't tell you exactly how they feel-what is working for

them and what isn't. And they won't just blindly take orders -

they need to understand the method and reason behind the

process.



If you are trying to motivate your Sagittarian employee, be

sure to feed them plenty of challenging new projects and

hint that some business trips might be on the horizon once

deadlines are met.



And whatever you do, try not to question their intentions-

it is the quickest way to make them upset. They aren't

capable of deceit.





index

Capricorn Employee Profile

======================



A Capricorn employee with too much to do is a happy worker.



They need plenty of projects and responsibility. There is no

sadder sight than a Capricorn worker without a sense of

responsibility. They need to be needed. They are covertly

ambitious - usually not flashy or obvious about it-but you will

usually know that they are serious and determined about

advancing themselves.



They are completely scrupulous, so much so that they can be

self-disparaging. But they are no pushovers. They can wear

down even the toughest customers. Their persistence is

incredible. Once they set their sights on a goal, they work

away at it until the bitter end-whether the goal be that hard

sell or the new hardware release.



Capricorns don't work for free, however. They expect to be

paid handsomely and be given more and more responsibility.

They need to come out ahead of the pack in the end, and

they see the work environment as their primary vehicle.



They won't go in for the typical office gossip and politics, though.



They want to get down to business at work and see it as no

place for fooling around.



With a strong sense of duty and respect towards their superiors,

it is rare they will join in on boss-bashing or knocking the system.



They can get frustrated, however, with blue sky management

schemes that lack common sense, and they will interject their

dry sense of humor in the most critical ways.



If they want change, they will be unyielding. If all their effort

leads to naught the result will be deep moods of darkness and

depression with a sense of hopelessness.



Keep your Capricorn employee happy by paying them fairly

and giving them plenty of hard work. Arrange for a path of

advancement within your organization for them. If you don't,

you might find them looking for other opportunities.





index

Aquarius Employee Profile

=====================



The Aquarius employee can't tolerate unfairness in the office.



Hair brained schemes will get the positive attention they

deserve if an Aquarian has anything to do with it. They'll try

to help everyone see the good side of a bad situation if it's

the last thing that they do. They are so smart-they can't help

but hold management in disdain if they feel that they are

being unfair and unintelligent. It isn't that they are overly

ambitious and think they could be doing a better job- just

that they think people in power should know better.



Most Aquarius workers are still looking for themselves and

will want to try their hand at a variety of jobs in the workplace.

Whatever they are doing, they will do conscientiously.



They usually have strict personal codes that include a strong

work ethic. Their bright, off-beat intelligence, and trustworthi-

ness will typically gain them many friends-in and out of work.



Beneath that sometimes odd-ball behavior is solid, concrete

thinking and sensitivity to co-workers. Keep your smart

Aquarius co-worker happy by giving them plenty of opportunity

to learn news kills.



Raises are less important to them. No amount of money will

make it worth their while to stay in a stagnant position. Don't

let them get too bored or they will simply find another job as

easily as they found this one-their genius is easy to spot.





index

Pisces Employee Profile

===================



The Pisces employee can be a loyal and hard-working, if

unconventional, worker. In the right position, they are able to

keep their daydreams in check and buckle down on the

detail work-giving their all to the boss and corporation whom

they feel are worthy of devotion.



On the flip side, there is no image of extreme misery like that

of an ill-placed Pisces worker. They will act as though their

cubicle were a prison cell as they daydream of their own

business or next vacation.



Unhappy Pisces workers usually won't stick around too long.

Often Pisceans will drift from one job to another looking for

that ideal environment to which they will be able to commit

and feel a sense of purpose. And if things are going in a bad

direction at the office, Pisces will be the first to sense it.

They'd rather pick up and leave then wait until the problem

reaches a head. Pisces are often misunderstood by their

co-workers.



Typically timid and introspective, they usually keep their true

nature hidden, for fear it wouldn't fit with the corporte culture.

What motivates a Pisces employee to not only stick around

but also excel? Try compliments. And show them how their

work impacts the entire organization.



They need to know that what they are doing is worth

something on a grander scale. Acceptance of their

unconventional organization and planning will be necessary.

Just because their sales report isn't in the typical format

doesn't mean it is any less effective. Keep their environment

bright and upbeat; and an after-work cocktail wouldn't hurt.

Corporate Lesson


Corporate Lesson 1

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up
her shower when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself
in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there
stands Bob, the next door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says,
"I'll give you $800 to drop that towel." After thinking for a moment,
the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob.
After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 dollars and leaves.
The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs.
When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, "Who was that?"
"It was Bob the next door neighbor," she replies.
"Great!" the husband says, "Did he say anything about the $800
he owes me?"

Moral of the story: If you share critical information pertaining
to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a
position to prevent avoidable exposure.


Corporate Lesson 2

A priest offered a lift to a Nun. She got in and crossed her legs,
forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident.
After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg.
The nun said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?" The priest removed his
hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again.
The nun once again said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?" The priest
apologized, "Sorry sister but the flesh is weak." Arriving at the
convent, the nun went on her way. On his arrival at the church,
the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, "Go forth and seek,
further up, you will find glory."

Moral of the story: If you are not well informed in your job, you
might miss a great opportunity.


Corporate Lesson 3

A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to
lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie
comes out. The Genie says, "I'll give each of you just one wish."
"Me first! Me first!" says the admin. clerk. "I want to be in the
Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world." Poof!
She's gone. "Me next! Me next!" says the sales rep. "I want to be in
Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless
supply of Pina Coladas, and the love of my life." Poof! He's gone.
"OK, you're up," the Genie says to the manager. The manager says, "I
want those two back in the office after lunch."

Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say.


Corporate Lesson 4

A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A rabbit asked
him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?" The crow
answered: "Sure, why not." So, the rabbit sat on the ground below
the crow, and rested. A fox jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be
sitting very high up.


Corporate Lesson 5

A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get
to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, but I haven't got
the energy." "Well, why don't you nibble on my droppings?" replied
the bull. "They're packed with nutrients." The turkey pecked at a
lump of dung and found that it gave him enough strength to reach the
lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung,
he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, there he
was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he was spotted by
a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree.

Moral of the story: Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't
keep you there.

" Be who you are... and say what you feel...
Because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
"
SO TRUE!!!
