It seems that the Careerbuilder Halloween survey shows that some workers don’t even have to leave work to spend time in a haunted house. According to the Careerbuilder site, when asked which popular characters best reflect their boss’s behavior, workers said the following:
Glenda the Good Witch, liked and respected by all - 20 percent
The Wolf Man, is fine one minute, howling the next - 11 percent
The Invisible Man, never around - 10 percent
Casper the Friendly Ghost, eager to help, but often misunderstood - 9 percent
Dracula, constantly sucking the life right out of you - 6 percent
Wicked Witch of the West, always acting conniving and sending out minions to do his/her dirty work - 5 percent
The Mummy, slow-moving and has an ancient thought process - 4 percent
Grim Reaper, constantly delivers bad news and inspires fear among workers - 3 percent
Frankenstein, green with envy - 1 percent
A scary boss wasn't the only spooky result to the Careerbuilder Halloween survey. In addition to spooky bosses, when asked what the scariest part of their job was, workers reported the following fear-inducing activities:
Workload - 18 percent
Performance reviews - 9 percent
Tight deadlines - 9 percent
Hours worked - 8 percent
Their boss or supervisor - 7 percent
Sitting through meetings - 6 percent
Its online career site, CareerBuilder.com, is the largest in the United States with more than 23 million unique visitors, 1 million jobs and 32 million resumes. If you're in a spooky job right now, hold on to it due to the high rate of unemployment. However, don't feel that you can't take a peek at the user-friendly Careerbuilder site if this Halloween night you find that the goblins running through the streets are friendlier than your boss.
