Pisces Employee Profile
February 19-March 20
The Pisces employee can be a loyal and hard-working, if unconventional, worker.
In the right position, they are able to keep their daydreams in check and buckle down
on the detail work - giving their all to the boss and corporation whom they feel are
worthy of devotion. On the flip side, there is no image of extreme misery like that of
an ill-placed Pisces worker. They will act as though their cubicle were a prison cell
as they daydream of their own business or next vacation. Unhappy Pisces workers usually
won't stick around too long. Often Pisceans will drift from one job to another looking
for that ideal environment to which they will be able to commit and feel a sense of purpose.
And if things are going in a bad direction at the office, Pisces will be the first to
sense it. They'd rather pick up and leave then wait until the problem reaches a head.
Pisces are often misunderstood by their co-workers. Typically timid and introspective,
they usually keep their true nature hidden, for fear it wouldn't fit with the corporate
culture. What motivates a Pisces employee to not only stick around but also excel?
Try compliments. And show them how their work impacts the entire organization. They
need to know that what they are doing is worth something on a grander scale. Acceptance
of their unconventional organization and planning will be necessary. Just because their
sales report isn't in the typical format doesn't mean it is any less effective. Keep their
environment bright and upbeat; and an after-work cocktail wouldn't hurt.
Aries Employee Profile
March 21-April 19
Aries employees make excellent troubleshooters. They'll usually want to be out
in the field at a variety of different work sites fixing things. They certainly
won't be happy for very long behind a desk in a 9 to 5 schedule. The bored
Aries employee who has been forced into a square hole will typically be restless,
angry, and careless with details. No amount of money would compensate for being
stuck in a routine job.
Money in fact isn't why they are working at all. They
do want to be paid fairly and need a status position to satisfy their competitive
tendencies - but even more importantly, they'll want challenging new projects.
They typically like to have a sense of responsibility and need to feel needed.
In return, they'll give their all and provide detailed, consistent work. They
will literally work themselves to exhaustion to prove themselves. If you want to
keep your Aries co-worker productive and happy, you'll want to give them the
opportunity to work independently or let them help and lead less experienced workers.
