Let's face it, you're not a "go-getter"... You aren't trying to be and you could care less whether your boss notices you or not. If anything, you are trying to avoid attention. If the boss remembers who you are, he may begin expecting work from you!
You’d rather remain anonymous in the company and collect your check.
We, the Gurus at …OrHardlyWorking understand. That’s why we have put together a short list of ways to go unnoticed at work.
It’s the least we could do for you since you took a chance and pulled up this blog to read at work.
TOP FIVE WAYS TO HAVE YOUR BOSS OVERLOOK YOU
1. Wear clothes that blend in with the carpet and cube you work in. That way you can camouflage and blend into your surroundings. Your boss is sure not to ask you for anything, since she can’t see you.
2. Be Silent. Talking to people draws too much attention.
3. Arrive early and leave early. If you get to work before everyone and leave before everyone, you’re never caught in the crowd on the elevator or in the parking lot. People won’t remember who you are and we’re sure they could never point you out in a crowd even if their lives depended on it.
4. Wear headphones in your ears, even if you aren’t listening to anything. Doing so will ensure that people won’t bother to speak to you. (This is especially useful if you are forced to attend meetings, and have to walk to the conference room with your coworkers. When the meeting begins, simply take them off. When the meeting ends, put those puppies back on!)
5. Never participate in the office Happy Hour or other team-building crap. All it does is make you stand out and allow people to put a name to a face, which you are trying to avoid.
Hope this helps. We will post more tips for remaining anonymous in the office in future postings. In the meantime, look to the right, click the Tetris icon, and have fun Hardly Working….
