#22: Act the Part
Sometimes, when we start a new job, a new school, or just meet new people in any constellation, we feel like we need to act the part. We need to impress them and maybe even act a little fake if we feel like it would make us seem more likable and friendly. In this case, it completely backfired for this person.
So, when this new guy at work was asked to do a presentation in front of the upper management, he tried to impress everyone by talking with confidence even though he didn’t really know what he was talking about. Unfortunately, he wasn’t a very good actor, and everyone could see through it. We don’t know how everything went down, but it sounds like they were pretty harsh on him… being a new guy at work is always hard!
