What sport does your job remind you of?
Post your answer in the LEAVE A COMMENT section below. I’m not the boss of you, though. Don’t write anything for all I care! If you’re retired, I’ll assume your answer is Tai Chi unless you state otherwise.
. . .here are my thoughts.
What sport does your job remind you of?
Imagine if your workday ended like sporting events do.
- Soccer players exchange jerseys. As coworkers swap tops, women become disturbed to discover men wearing sports bras.
- A football player gets interviewed on-field as the coach gets doused in Gatorade. Similarly, one employee would thank God and modestly comment that it was a team effort. Meanwhile, everyone else visits the water cooler and dumps a tiny paper cup’s worth over the boss’s head.
- Basketball players quickly leave the court, throwing their sweat-soaked wristbands and towels into the crowd. Likewise, the last employee to leave for the day would have a desk drawer filled with pheromone-riddled detritus from all their coworkers.
- Hockey players line up to hug their goaltender after a win. Correspondingly, employees embrace their boss who’s wearing a bear protection suit. The requisite slap on the tush from a wooden oar would not concern HR.
- After all baseball post-season series wins, ski-goggle-wearing players pour beer and champagne over one another in the locker room. Comparably, to celebrate closing the big deal, masquerade-mask-wearing drunkenness would ensue in the office’s unisex restroom.
My job, though, is like a boxing match … with infinite rounds.
