What kind of employee u r?

--- >
Aries Employee Profile    
 
> ==================
> Aries employees make excellent troubleshooters.
> They'll usually want to be out in the field at a variety of different work
> sites fixing things. They certainly won't be happy for very long behind a
> desk in a 9 to 5 schedule.
> The bored Aries employee who has been forced into a square hole will
> typically be restless, angry, and careless with details.
> No amount of money would compensate for being stuck in a routine job. Money
> in fact isn't why they are working at all.
> They do want to be paid fairly and need a status position to satisfy their
> competitive tendencies-- but even more importantly, they'll want challenging
> new projects. They typically like to have a sense of responsibility and need
> to feel needed. In return, they'll give their all and provide detailed,
> consistent work. They will literally work themselves to exhaustion to prove
> themselves.
> If you want to keep your Aries co-worker productive and happy, you'll want
> to give them the opportunity to work independently or let them help and lead
> less experienced workers.


> Taurus Employee Profile   

> ===================
> Taureans make some of the best employees. They are loyal, hardworking, and
> no-nonsense. They work methodically and follow projects through until they
> are complete. Some may appear to work a little too slowly-usually because
> they are so careful-but they will always finish what they start. They thrive
> on structure, schedules, and routine. You'll find them doing the same exact
> thing at the same time every day.
> Taureans, however, are not exactly the malleable workers that they often
> appear to be. If they have to work in a chaotic environment, they won't be
> happy and will be prone to child-like temper tantrums and stubbornness. They
> might react similarly if they have to work around ignorant people or at a
> job where there is no obvious potential for advancement.
> Taureans will be very unhappy if there isn't a ladder for them to climb.
> Even in the worst situations, they will find a way to advance slowly,
> winning over the most difficult people who may stand in their way of
> progress.
> Taurus employees will only take so much patiently and happily before they
> feel they are being taken advantage of. They will gladly accept orders and
> do whatever dirty work needs to get done, but they expect rewards. They want
> material gain, salary increases, and the potential for more power.
> To make your Taurus employees happy, be sure to give them projects through
> which they will see tangible results-hopefully something that will allow
> them to express their unique creativity in addition to their practical side.
> They don't want to feel mired in details for long periods of time.
> Make sure to schedule regular performance and salary reviews.
> This show of respect should keep them loyal to the company.

>
Gemini Employee Profile   

> ===================
> Gemini employees can have difficulty concentrating on one thing for long
> periods of time. They have quick-moving minds and love to talk and
> communicate their ideas with others.
> They thrive on social interaction -- even if their jobs don't particularly
> support it. You'll be able to find them wandering from desk to desk
> gossiping about all the sordid news in the office. They can be powerful
> persuaders in their speech and make ideal salespeople and mediators. They
> love to nego- tiate and can work out the best Deal for everyone involved.
> When properly stimulated, they can manage to keep their wandering mind
> focused and actually be quite productive.
> When they are bored, bogged down with mundane detail- work, or forced to
> work with people who they consider droll, they can become mean-spirited and
> gossipy. Their moods can fluctuate vastly day to day, as well as their
> productivity.
> It is really against their nature to be forced into an average workday
> schedule and environment. They are happier traveling.
> lf they are in an office they will need constant new stimulation.
> Most will be wanting advancement if they see this as a way to escape the
> limitations of their jobs. This can motivate them to put extra effort into
> their job. If you work with a Gemini, try to avoid getting into any debates
> with them - they will surely win and it could end in some hard feelings on
> your part. They will need an accepting environment-one that supports their
> need for multi-tasking.


>
Cancer Employee Profile    
 
> ====================
> The Cancer employee isn't at work to feed their ego -- their job is just a
> job and a means to get paid. They work steadily and are usually very
> reliable. You'll be able to depend on them to show up on time and do what is
> necessary. They won't get involved in power struggles or get upset when
> someone advances before them. They are able to accept the situation because
> they see it simply as a rung on the ladder up. Their motivation is security.
>
> They'll want more money the longer they've stayed at a job.
> They don't want to have to worry about how they'll make ends meet tomorrow
> so they'll need a stable position without much risk. Cancerian workers can
> slip into some dark moods on occasion.
> During these periods productivity tends to drop-as well as everyone else's
> in the office. Their moods can be so strong everyone becomes affected. To
> avoid the frequency of these occurrences, managers and co-workers should try
> to make the work environment as homey as possible-keep it well heated, cozy,
> and friendly. Don't press them to reveal their true inner thoughts-their
> tendency is to be secretive and protective, and they could see prying as an
> attempt to disturb their security.



> Leo Employee Profile    
 
> =================
> Leo workers want to be first and at the center of the office.
> Even if they can't lead, they'll look for every opportunity to increase
> their own status -- and if someone else seems ahead of them, look out. They
> will make it clear that they aren't happy by pouting and complaining. They
> want advancement so much that they'll take on more respon- sibility and
> carry a heavier load than anyone else does in the office. And they are
> self-promoters. It is likely that they are telling everyone in the office
> what a great job they are doing as well as giving everyone unwanted advice.
> They know they are superior and want everyone to know it as well. This
> arrogance can sometimes cause problems when working with management. But
> typically, they are just hard workers out to demonstrate just how good they
> really are.
> They thrive in sales positions - they can promote a product or company just
> as well as they promote themselves.
> Their strength and arrogance isn't just show either. In a crisis situation,
> Leos really demonstrate their true courage.
> Leos want to lead and will be pushing for more responsibility and rewards.
> They are happy to train and mentor new co- workers as they enjoy giving
> advice and being in positions of authority.
> If you are trying to manage a Leo employee, you'll need to give them plenty
> of praise, responsibility, and independence.
> They will certainly want to help lighten your load of manage- ment
> responsibilities. Just be careful- the next thing you know they could be
> taking over your job.



> Virgo Employee Profile    
 
> ==================
> In the right situations Virgos love to work. They make ideal emloyees,
> happily working late into the night to make sure everything is perfect and
> in order. If you are looking for an employee who doesn't mind starting from
> rock bottom in the most entry-level position at the company, hire a Virgo.
> They'll have no complaints about the position being beneath them. They are
> CONTENT with basic, honest hard work.
> Their contentment isn't always apparent, however.
> They love to complain and worry. They are quick to criticize the way things
> are done around the office and are the first ones to grumble disapprovingly
> at what they consider to be extravagance or laziness. They are blunt and
> honest and don't mince words over what they feel just isn't right.
> Usually, this will be brought on by someone doing a half- baked job or not
> being considerate of other co-workers.
> You'll want to constantly reassure them, but this will do little to quell
> their anxieties. They actually enjoy worrying, and there is little you can
> do about it. Just give them a detail - oriented project and let them work
> alone on it. You won't have to supervise a Virgo worker. They'll check all
> the facts before getting started and catch their own errors when they are
> done.
> To keep a Virgo employee happy, you should also make sure their environment
> is orderly and calm. You should also provide small gestures of appreciation.
> They don't need extravagance, just let them know you appreciate them in
> small ways that won't embarrass them. They will probably just shrug their
> shoulders and say, "It's no big deal." But deep down inside they need these
> little reassurances.


>
Libra Employee Profile    
 
> ==================
> Libra employees are detailed, dedicated workers with sensitive natures.
> Managers and co-workers sometimes find them difficult to get a handle on.
> They pick up the energy of the office and are unable to prevent it from
> affecting them. Loud noise, flashy colors, and discordant vibrations will
> put them off so much that they will have difficulty fulfilling their
> obligations at work.
> One day they may seem like the most bright, hardworking, ambitious employee
> around. The next day they might be down, irritated, and unable to produce.
> Co-workers shouldn't fret when Libra employees are in a dark mood.
> It really won't last, as a happy state of mind can come over them just as
> quickly. When Libra employees are in a balanced frame of mind, they can be a
> powerful presence at work-they have a way of gracing everything they touch.
> Underneath that mess of moods, they really are basically happy and stable
> people. They are capable of profound logical thought and evaluate all sides
> of a situation before acting. They are one of the most intelligent Signs
> around.
> They are expert researchers and mediators. And their sensitivity to their
> environment makes them naturals at keeping things looking great. They will
> easily help others resolve conflicts and can act as a go-between with
> workers and management so that everyone ends up happy.
> If you want to keep your Libran worker smiling, give them the respect they
> are due and put them in a position where they can project their great charm
> and diplomacy. They won't be CONTENT to take orders for very long, either-
> make sure they are given increased responsibility .


>
Scorpio Employee Profile    
 
> ====================
> Scorpio employees usually exude a quiet self-confidence. They are
> self-sufficient and do not depend on others for a sense of self-worth. They
> keep their private life separate from work and take complete responsibility
> for their actions and their situation.
> They don't make excuses; they just take care of business and expect everyone
> else to do the same. Those who don't, co- workers and managers- will have to
> endure the Scorpio wrath.
> They don't mind being completely vocal about what they feel is wrong with
> any given situation. And if you tread on their fire be sure to expect
> retaliation. They won't take insults or opposition lying down.
> If you manage a Scorpio employee, be sure to follow through with your word
> and don't break any promises-Scorpio is keeping track and building up some
> heavy resentments against you if you do. You may not even be aware of it
> until too late-but when Scorpio gets too much, you'll be sure to know.
> Scorpio employees will react towards those around them exactly as they are
> treated. When they get what they want, they will be very accepting.
> If you are trying to work with or motivate a Scorpio co-worker, be sure to
> treat them respectfully and act professionally.
> Give them challenging work that allows them to utilize their awesome
> self-confidence and courage.



> Sagittarius Employee Profile    
 
> ======================
> The Sagittarian employee is head strong, cheerful, and willing to help. They
> exude self-confidence and take on tasks like there's no tomorrow. They are
> willing to tackle even the toughest of projects as long as it is challenging
> and gets them out of the routine. Lucky for them, their shining
> personalities and honest enthusiasm seem like a bright spot in the office-
> otherwise co-workers might begin to build animosity towards someone so
> arrogant and extravagant.
> Their tendency to exaggerate and take on more then they can handle usually
> results in missed deadlines and dropping the ball-not because they are lazy
> of procrastinate, but because their enthusiasm just gets the better of them
> sometimes.
> Don't let their nonchalance fool you-they really do care about what they are
> doing. They just have an easy-going attitude that allows them to keep on
> smiling even when they just messed up big time.
> Just because they are flexible and easy-going doesn't mean they won't tell
> you exactly how they feel-what is working for them and what isn't. And they
> won't just blindly take orders - they need to understand the method and
> reason behind the process.
> If you are trying to motivate your Sagittarian employee, be sure to feed
> them plenty of challenging new projects and hint that some business trips
> might be on the horizon once deadlines are met.
> And whatever you do, try not to question their intentions- it is the
> quickest way to make them upset. They aren't capable of deceit .



> Capricorn Employee Profile    
 
> ======================
> A Capricorn employee with too much to do is a happy worker.
> They need plenty of projects and responsibility. There is no sadder sight
> than a Capricorn worker without a sense of responsibility. They need to be
> needed. They are covertly ambitious - usually not flashy or obvious about
> it-but you will usually know that they are serious and determined about
> advancing themselves.
> They are completely scrupulous, so much so that they can be
> self-disparaging. But they are no pushovers. They can wear down even the
> toughest customers. Their persistence is incredible. Once they set their
> sights on a goal, they work away at it until the bitter end-whether the goal
> be that hard sell or the new hardware release.
> Capricorns don't work for free, however. They expect to be paid handsomely
> and be given more and more responsibility.
> They need to come out ahead of the pack in the end, and they see the work
> environment as their primary vehicle.
> They won't go in for the typical office gossip and politics, though.
> They want to get down to business at work and see it as no place for fooling
> around.
> With a strong sense of duty and respect towards their superiors, it is rare
> they will join in on boss-bashing or knocking the system.
> They can get frustrated, however, with blue sky management schemes that lack
> common sense, and they will interject their dry sense of humor in the most
> critical ways.
> If they want change, they will be unyielding. If all their effort leads to
> naught the result will be deep moods of darkness and depression with a sense
> of hopelessness.
> Keep your Capricorn employee happy by paying them fairly and giving them
> plenty of hard work. Arrange for a path of advancement within your
> organization for them. If you don't, you might find them looking for other
> opportunities.



> Aquarius Employee Profile    
 
> =====================
> The Aquarius employee can't tolerate unfairness in the office.
> Hair brained schemes will get the positive attention they deserve if an
> Aquarian has anything to do with it. They'll try to help everyone see the
> good side of a bad situation if it's the last thing that they do. They are
> so smart-they can't help but hold management in disdain if they feel that
> they are being unfair and unintelligent. It isn't that they are overly
> ambitious and think they could be doing a better job- just that they think
> people in power should know better.
> Most Aquarius workers are still looking for themselves and will want to try
> their hand at a variety of jobs in the workplace.
> Whatever they are doing, they will do conscientiously.
> They usually have strict personal codes that include a strong work ethic.
> Their bright, off-beat intelligence, and trustworthi- ness will typically
> gain them many friends-in and out of work.
> Beneath that sometimes odd-ball behavior is solid, concrete thinking and
> sensitivity to co-workers. Keep your smart Aquarius co-worker happy by
> giving them plenty of opportunity to learn news kills.
> Raises are less important to them. No amount of money will make it worth
> their while to stay in a stagnant position. Don't let them get too bored or
> they will simply find another job as easily as they found this one-their
> genius is easy to spot.



> Pisces Employee Profile    
 
> ===================
> The Pisces employee can be a loyal and hard-working, if unconventional,
> worker. In the right position, they are able to keep their daydreams in
> check and buckle down on the detail work-giving their all to the boss and
> corporation whom they feel are worthy of devotion.
> On the flip side, there is no image of extreme misery like that of an
> ill-placed Pisces worker. They will act as though their cubicle were a
> prison cell as they daydream of their own business or next vacation.
> Unhappy Pisces workers usually won't stick around too long.
> Often Pisceans will drift from one job to another looking for that ideal
> environment to which they will be able to commit and feel a sense of
> purpose. And if things are going in a bad direction at the office, Pisces
> will be the first to sense it.
> They'd rather pick up and leave then wait until the problem reaches a head.
> Pisces are often misunderstood by their co-workers.
> Typically timid and introspective, they usually keep their true nature
> hidden, for fear it wouldn't fit with the corporte culture.
> What motivates a Pisces employee to not only stick around but also excel?
> Try compliments. And show them how their work impacts the entire
> organization.
> They need to know that what they are doing is worth something on a grander
> scale. Acceptance of their unconventional organization and planning will be
> necessary.
> Just because their sales report isn't in the typical format doesn't mean it
> is any less effective. Keep their environment bright and upbeat; and an
> after-work cocktail wouldn't hurt.
