They’re all around us, all the time, but we don’t recognize them because they wear business suits, sports jackets, dresses, high heels, or maybe sneakers and dungarees. They’re the men and women we work with who are hiding their true identities in the workplace. Let’s see if we can figure out who they really are?

The Fairy Princess: She’s beautiful and knows it, and because of her looks and beguiling smile, male bosses look the other way when she comes in late or doesn’t pull her fair share. If her boss is a woman, she may be in the deep end of the pool without her water wings; however, often she’s so good at manipulating that, if she can find a chink in the woman’s armor, she and the boss will become best buds.

The Frog: The Frog is usually a man and as annoying as a pesky mosquito on a hot summer night. He just doesn’t go away! Questions, stories, and, yes, like the frog he ribit... ribit... repeats himself. You’re busy, have lots to do, you see the frog coming, and there’s nowhere to hide. Ouch! You know it’s going to be painful, so you head for the men’s or ladies’ room, and pray he’ll be gone when you get back.
