CareerBuilder’s Lesson 32C Gauges Workplace Worth

lesson_32c.jpg

Created by Wieden + Kennedy, CareerBuilder has launched a four part video series called Office Worker Survival Series which aim to “humorously instruct the disgruntled worker how to navigate the treacherous waters of corporate America.”

In the first video, Gauging Your Workplace Worth, the worth of an employee is examined based on how elaborately their birthday gets celebrated in the office. From time of day to location to attendance to food to whether or not your co-workers sung happy birthday to you, the CareerBuilder Birthday Celebration Observational System gauges the liklihood you’ll be considered for a promotion in the future or tossed out the door at the first sign of a downturn.

And no, we didn’t miss the nod to bra sizes in the Lesson labeling system. We are, however, very interested in how big the lessons will become as the series progresses.

Received Pronunciation, the accent linguists still nickname the Queen’s English, took shape inside a handful of England’s most expensive private schools, and it remains such a reliable marker of that background that a stranger can often place someone’s education within a single sentence.
