Spooky Survey Sheds Light on Employee Mindset
Just in time to coincide with the holiday CareerBuilder.com has released the results of a Halloween themed survey. They surveyed workers in various professions and apparently 1 in 5 of those questioned described their workplace as “scary”.
When asked which popular Halloween character they thought their boss most resembled the panelists responded as follows:
•Glenda the Good Witch, liked and respected by all – 20%
•The Wolf Man, is fine one minute, howling the next – 11%
•The Invisible Man, never around – 10%
•Casper the Friendly Ghost, eager to help, but often misunderstood – 9%
•Dracula, constantly sucking the life right out of you – 6%
•Wicked Witch of the West, always acting conniving and sending out minions to do his/her dirty work – 5%
•The Mummy, slow-moving and has an ancient thought process – 4%
•Grim Reaper, constantly delivers bad news and inspires fear among workers – 3%
•Frankenstein, green with envy – 1%
