Haven't we all seen a movie about work and thought "OMG - that's so me!" Or noticed that an on-screen character is the twin of some unfortunate soul in accounting? Oh, yeah... I've daydreamed about smashing our copy machine to bits like the fellas from Office Space and I'm not ashamed to admit it! To find your ultimate workplace movie doppelgänger, take the quiz below:
1. You're faced with working yet another weekend, you:
2. When asked about your aspirations at work, you:
3. You have the opportunity to break the rules to get something you want, you:
4. You’re offered a position in senior management, you:
5. If you had the chance to do absolutely anything from 9-5, you’d:
Mostly A’s:
Peter from Office Space: Dejected, disengaged, and disinterested are three adjectives that describe your attitude at work. You have plenty of talent but have found yourself in the wrong career or simply a stale environment where demands are unreasonable and management is anything but stellar. You might find a hypnotherapist to improve your outlook OR it might be time to start looking for career fulfillment elsewhere.
Mostly B’s:
Tess from Working Girl: You’re frustrated and looking to get ahead. The odds you’re facing for advancement are steep and you might just be willing to color outside of the lines to secure that promotion. You’ve had bosses that are both inspirational and total duds and you’ve learned from their wins and losses. In the end, you’ll find success but have to be careful about whether you’re willing to pay the cost.
Mostly C’s:
J.C. from Baby Boom: Being a high-powered executive is second nature to you. You thrive off of big decisions, important projects, and high-pressure situations. Then, something changes. You have children or become a victim of downsizing and your perspective shifts. It’s not about living to work but working to live. Bonus: you’re an ace at whatever you do and are sure to find happiness in your work!
