How To Tell If Your Colleague Is A Superhero

Salutations My Evasive Executives!

Today we continue with the second part of our "How To Tell" segment. But this time, we're talking about the guy who sits next to you in the office. The guy you know nothing about although you seem him everyday. Yes, you know the one. Is he or isn't he then?

The Colleague
1. He's mild mannered, quiet and mostly keeps to himself (because he's hiding something, duhhh)

2. He's always late for work and his excuse is "I had something important to do"

3. Like your secret superhero boss, has seemingly no social life but is a nocturnal character

4. Despite not being around much, always gets the job done (and darn well too!)

5. Always disappears mysteriously when you need him most but just as surreptitiously reappears at the right time

6. Has deep psychological issues which explain his introverted character (alternately could be a psycho serial killer/rapist/pedophile)

7. Has a suspicious relationship with clients or subject of work which always is beneficial to him

8. Your boss treats him like dirt but he takes it like a hoover

9. Completely lacks charm, social skills and only thing he's laid in months is a brick

10. Will always be there when you need (or cry) help

Now go find out if your friendly neighborhood colleague is more than what he seems!

How To Tell If Your Boss Is A Superhero

Greetings Cubicle Crusaders!

Now we all have employers who we feel are a little peculiar or idiosyncratic. We don't really know why they are the way they are but perhaps there's something "extraordinary" about them. For all you know, they could be leading a double life! Here's a guide on how to assuage those suspicions of yours.

The Boss

1. He's a billionaire playboy who inherited a legacy from his deceased parents

2. He never shows up at the office but always has plenty of free time for social events and fundraisers

3. Mysterious social life which consists mainly of flings with beautiful women and other prominent businessmen

4. Owns multiple organizations, properties and establishments through third parties and proxies

5. Has an intimidating but charming personality which you can't help but sense is a facade

6. Siphons company earnings to fund his personal exploits

7. Frequently appears in the media with sensational headlines

8. Has repressed emotional issues which leave him detached and aloof

9. People who pose a threat or disagree with him mysteriously vanish

10. He disappears for weeks and returns like no time has gone by but no one dares question him

Does your boss exhibit any of these signs? With great power comes great possibilities!
