Top 10 Signs You Might Be Too Gullible at Work

10. You believe the numbers in the business plan.

9. When the new management team declares they're on the
verge of turning things around, you move 100 percent of
your 401k into company stock.

8. You're convinced your boss will make all your extra
efforts worthwhile just as soon as the budget comes through
for that pay increase he's been fighting to get you.

7. When they tell you this is a "people company," you
think one of those people is you.

6. When the regional VP declares that the meeting is a
safe environment and he values your input about your boss
(who also happens to be his fiancée)you offer it.

5. When the CEO says that customers come first, you
think that means BEFORE short-term profits and driving up
his stock options.

4. You sell the company's great new product to all your
best customers without waiting to find out just what those
"few tiny glitches it might have" might be.

3. When they say that "around here we work and we play
hard," you think that means you're allowed to take off
almost as much time off as the regional VP or drink
anywhere near as much as the Chairman of the Board.

2. You accept a lateral move and relocate to East
Cowflop, North Dakota, because you think that puts you in
line for the next promotion rather than at the top of the
list for the next hellhole where nobody else is willing to
go.

1. You think Dilbert is fiction
