Hal: PMSL, glad I now work in an office by myself, miss the commaradiere (spelling) but not the back stabbing etc. Deb

Very true Deb,Glad I,m out of it,But I do find it funny that so many people nowadays seem to have very 'Tanned ' noses when it comes to trying for other peoples jobs. Hal.:o)))>

your right Hal, but in the regular business world I don't think it's right to wrongly undermind others just to get ahead.

Howie, my daughter works with a guy who's 161% and always underhandly trying to take the better assignments, she gets so upset because she said she doesn't want to stoop to his level so she's trying to find other ways to get one up on him or at least get some of the better assignments. Makes it tough. Jess know what you mean, had some young college grad once try to convince my manager she was better than me because she had college ed. didn't matter I had 21 years with the co. and was training her to do my job as a helper.

Not in all cases,The Saying 'Over and above the Call of Duty' ( Military) is giving more than 100%.on certain occasions. Hal.

The perosn that has just got my job (and me demotion) is a 106%'er

DEbs I think most of us at sometime has work with the 103% ones I will have to work mine out Probably about 50% at the mo .xxxxx

very true. But neither will keep you there

Tina: I was actually hoping to be 103% lol Deb

i like that! hope i am the 98%. no one is that perfect.lol tina x

This is a strictly mathematical viewpoint...it goes like this: What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life? Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions: If: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z is represented as: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26. Then: H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98% and K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96% But, A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100% And, B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T 2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103% AND, look how far butt kissing will take you. B-U-T-T-K-I-S-S-I-N-G 2+21+20+20+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 161% So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the Bullshit and butt kissing that will put you over the top.

Have a mathamatical comparison. What percentage are you at. See Below Deb
