You know those boardroom meetings where everyone is trying to be the hero? The boss says, ‘Let’s celebrate her birthday,’ and everyone starts tossing out ideas like buying cake or letting her pick the restaurant.
The overachiever’s suggestion isn’t exactly welcomed. Instead of applause or agreement, he gets the death stare, and then, in true meme fashion, he’s literally tossed out of the office window for his trouble.
So next time you’re in on a birthday planning session, maybe just pick one idea. Or be ready for your big exit.
