The five worst people during March Madness

2. The Person Who Whines About Work

In a time of economic uncertainty, a time in which many qualified people struggle to find jobs, much less well-paying ones, there’s nothing like the entitled cubicle jockey who is totally bummed out about being at work during the opening two days of March Madness. Ugh, isn’t gainful employment, complete with benefits, just the worst when it interferes with watching sports?

This person is far too enthusiastic about the cheesy “Boss Button” on the CBS live-stream site. He or she will talk about skipping work, and will do so using a tone normally reserved for planning bank heists and/or prison breaks. Of course, this person would never actually skip work, and would in fact probably snitch on any coworker who did, but damn will he or she babble on and on about the injustice of a 9-to-5 during tournament season.

Work sucks, I know. (There’s a hip Blink-182 reference for all your millennials.)
