Different Personalities in Different Work Environments.

So today I went for a job interview at a Service Rig Co. (which I got the job by the way). And I couldn't help but notice something.

Before I went to the interview (my dad had to drive me, my car is on the fritz :() he took me to his workplace, which is basically a formal business, and I shook hands with a few different people, and said introduced myself. What I noticed was, incredibly formal, everyone is over the top polite and happy, and choose their words carefully.

In High School, I worked at a gas station, both as a clerk and gas pump attendant (after enough years, the boss trusted me enough to close the store alone, something no student has been trusted to do before in the history of that place). And it was less formal, but still polite as ever, and still people chose their words carefully and respected eachother.

Now, as soon as I went in for this interview, my new boss took one look at me and said "Son of a *****, you're a big one! How the hell's it going?!" Then he said I got the job (instantly :P) and gave me the papers and looked through them and noticed some of them were missing and said "Well for "F" sakes, some God **** papers are missing, fill these ****ers out and I'll get the other ones." He then left and came back about 15 minutes later and as I was filling them out, he was saying comments like "It's incredibly ****in' cold out there, you gotta dress for it," and "We gotta get you to do a piss test (rather than a drug test)" and similar comments.

These are, basically the varied types of personalities I worked with. Very formal, semi-formal and casual. Personally I prefer my new boss, I can say something that might get frowned upon in other places, and he won't care, and he seems to be a very good natured person, just with a colorful language vocabulary. What kind of personality do you prefer to work with or be around?

If you ask me, I am going to enjoy the people at my job, I think it's just going to be a bunch of laid back guys, who work hard and like to party hard too. I'm excited to start on monday.

I'm not really sure. I think it's basic human behavior that peoples behavior changes once the social environment has also altered. And there was a chance in the environment in your case.

Anyways, all I really know is that a conventional work environment is not for me.

Working in NY will introduce you to all types of people from different backgrounds. I have met some truly insane individuals whose behavior would curl your hair.

I work in the television industry and for the most part, there are some really cool people, but damn there are some real jerks running around.

I got threatened on my work experience , I went to a photography for baby photos and weddings etc. Led zeppelin came on the radio and the assistant said to me in a scary voice "You better know who they are" With am going to kill you look. I said yes.

I worked in a barn...people were just themselves...:|

Having worked in a tire shop w/ 9 other guys and an accounting office, I would say that I much prefer the shop environment over the accounting one -but damn if I don't like the accounting paychecks betterrawsavon

I work at a grocery store and everyone seems to think that the world owes them something for working in retail. They keep saying that they deserve more money and benefits.
