When asked about a relatively new hire:"We haven't decided if we like them yet"

My reaction was not popular: "Can't you think for yourself? What is YOUR opinion of them?"



Apply it to your world here and offline and discuss.
 
Show us our tits!
Show us our ears.

Or groupthink on tits, cocks, rectums, armpits, mouths, nasal and aural tracts (nosegasms and eargasms), toegasms, empty eyeball sockets, thumbs, navels, other sexual anatomy. No toys. But I digress.

Groups are composed of individuals but are not individuals. Another word of groupthink is teamwork. Hold down your own impulses, to do what's best for the team and its goals. Maybe think, "That gal's a jerk, but we need her skills, and we can babysit her as needed." Teamwork means, don't be selfish.

Care to see my feet?
 
New people are cool.. They breath life into a stagnant environment.. Yes I used this opportunity for self promotion. I'm transparent and petty..
 
Humans are mammals and many mammals are herd animals. Herds seek homogeneity and exclude outliers. I think what you are describing is perfectly normal. I prefer people that are not normal.

Not Normal is pretty cool as well.

We haven't decided if we like you yet. As far as I can tell so far no one hates you- that's a definite plus. I would probably give you a casual thumbs-up based on you getting the Saturday Night Live reference alone, if I didn't think that that might hurt your standing in the herd.

Sometimes, the herd mentality is the demise of the herd. Balance, it's all about balance.
 
Insignificant data.... I'm actually undercover for the US mail system, to determine if Tuesdays should be the default advertising delivery day or if we should expand on that.

Thanks new person!!

BTW your profile is somewhat sparse. Don't go all crazy with info, tho. Less is more, but none is, well, nothing.

I would love to edit it.. but i cannot, there appears to be bugs in editing profiles.
