The coworkers may seem unusual us but it seems very normal to the person who is showing us around the office. It shows that once we settle in with our jobs everything around us seems normal like our daily routine. There is also more information than we needed to know about each person. A small workplace allows workers to get to closer with each other because the workers probably know more about each other than what we know about our classmates. I find the descriptions for the coworkers are very interesting to read. It might influence us to learn more about the people we work with because their personalities and lifestyles could be more different than what we think. The rules for the job seem more professional than the actions of the coworkers. It seems okay for a coworker to enter a bathroom for the opposite sex or steal your lunch but it is not okay to make an emergency call without permission. They hired Kevin Howard, a serial killer who types the fastest in the workplace. It shows that the private lives of the coworkers and their actions towards coworkers do not matter because their qualifications for the job and performance are much more important.
I agree that the workplace does seem normal to the person that is showing him around and he sounds like a nosy person. I had not thought of it as a daily routine but I think the stories he said about them do affect their daily life. It is interesting to read about the workers but I don’t know if I would believe everything he said about them.
I was a little unsure why it was okay for lunch stealing, hiring a serial killer and guys going into girl’s bathroom but having to ask for permission for an urgent call. It makes me wonder that maybe the person showing them around is lying since they don’t have much contact outside of the workplace.
It does look like they care more about job performance rather than personal lives but I think it matters to an extent. The way the person describes the killer and other workers was funny because he just blurted it like it was no big deal. Not caring to hire a serial killer is a bit over the top because it can affect the workplace. One of his coworkers, Anika Bloom has “uncontrollable fits of shaking and trembling” when she sees him.
