Take cover – Colleague is about to explode!
It isn’t the rat bag boss or the bland canteen food. Neither is it the eternal paper jam in the photocopier. What really drives most people crazy, are their colleagues. For eight hours or more every day, we spend our time with people who we haven’t chosen to spend it with. There is nowhere else on earth where you can find so many whimsical people in such a tight space. So bitching is not only an understandable reaction to this, but also a first class pastime; it relieves stress, leads to creative high performance, and puts you in a really good mood.
Hundreds of SPIEGEL Online readers have compiled their most elegant insults, biting jokes and finest gags. This dictionary helps you to ridicule others on the spot and to get the most out of the craziest moments in your working life. For beginners and those of us who are advanced in the art of bitching.
