The Office Chad

The finish line is right there…Yet another summer week of blood, sweat, and tears just to get to the weekend. 200+ hours of busting your ass for 48 hours of freedom. Makes sense if you ask me!

 The office brings all forces of life to the forefront. The number of different personalities are endless. With that said, each office does in fact have some similarities in individuals. One in particular can be heard from the office building next door and has co-workers in awe at the shit that comes out of his mouth. We know them as the office Chad.

Chad might be successful at the job. He might be making some good money. But Chad is definitely the FIRST one to let you know both of these things. He is the loud mouth with the ego to wipe out a colony of introverts. Chad is the former division 3 lacrosse star who will tell you about the time he had a hat trick in his high school’s state championship. The one who brags about the girl he took home from the bar 4 weeks ago. Chad can do it all. The hardo one second, and the brown-noser to the director the next. Let’s face it, you simply don’t have shit on Chad. At least that’s what he thinks.

Every office needs a Chad. Chad lets other personalities shine. The good people out there. He adds to conversations of others. “Did you hear what Chad said today?”...”Yeah, but what would Chad do?” All good laughter and conversation starters. Making fun of? Yeah maybe. But how else do you deal with the weekly life updates of one you simply could give two shits about. Congrats on your successful week you had Chad. You told me about the sale you made 7 times today already pal. Pack it up and move on.

Chads might be essential to the office culture and banter. But let's be clear. Don’t be Chad.
