8. They pray their boss doesn’t just summon them.
They have a panic attack when you want to talk to them, and an immediate need to update their Monster.com profile. Really, you just want to tell them they did a good job on the last project. Instead of summarily calling them to your office, try something like, “Elizabeth, I’d like to talk to you about the good job you did on the last project.” You’ll save them from crushing existential dread.
9. They have a personal anxiety tic.
This could include chewing their nails, cleaning obsessively, peeling their cuticles, tapping their pen, grinding their teeth, playing with their phone, or any number of other things. It only comes out when they’re anxious (which is a good bit of the time), so it should be easy to spot.
