Everyone has a work reputation.
The car guy, the cookies lady, the annoying dude from IT, etc. Due to an unfortunate situation I'm known as the guy who will choke you out. No, I'm not a badass and don't like the reputation, though it was earned. What is your work reputation? |

surly guy always in a bad mood...
i'm actually usually in a pretty good mood, i dunno why everybody always thinks i'm pissed all the time.....but, it keeps the office socializing to a minimum, or at least as much as i want... ...that, and i do have a paper "award" given to me at our last departmental trap shoot: "most likely to 'accidentaly' shoot a *company* principal." |
| On the army side, people think of me as the hermit who would prefer to live in a post-apocolyptic world (I just do bushcraft stuff lol). I'm ok with that. On the civilian side, I'm always the "Army guy" which pretty much turns into every stereotype ever lol. Whatever; civies gonna civ. |

I would fire people for fighting at work also. I would not fire someone if he was attacked and defended himself. Especially with witnesses and video  Quoted:

Oh boy. I see at the least:
one "internet tough guy" meme one "Jennifer Lawrence mm hmm ok" meme probably two "how _____ see's you, how you really are" memes one "here's the attention you were looking for" meme and one "do you even lift bro" meme any others? Humblebrag maybe? |

There are a whole bunch of antisocial loners who nobody likes in this thread.
I don't know what my workplace reputation is because I'm not a 15 year old girl and therefore don't care. <----- internet tough guy 
ETA: Nobody here really knows how people talk about them behind their back. If I went by how I've heard others talk about my peers, I would think that I'm seen as a super great guy, but I'm not stupid enough to think that unkind things aren't being said about me as well. |

Description three years ago on my performance review - Abrasive.
Two years ago - Difficult. Last year - Company asset willing to take on the tough jobs without regard for failure. I see no difference in the last three years of my 15 year tenure, except for the fact that management realized I am who I am. Ehh. |

Humblebrag maybe? Definitely. Thanks for putting in the work and summing up this thread. Allow the circlejerk of self-proclaimed Clint Eastwood types commence. |

The know it all.
No, not like that. I mean the actual "Go ask Ridge. If anyone knows it'll be him". 
Done everything from help with trig, unfuck a gun, tell them what's going wrong with a set up on a machine, to removing stitches or slicing out an infected splinter.

ETA fuck them pansies As someone else said, I'm not there to make friends. I'd like to get along with everyone but when you deal with a bunch of worthless, lazy, lying, backstabbers, I have zero respect and nothing to say other than business related topics. |

Joker. People know I am the guy who hides nick cage pics around the office, and will prank your office while you are on vacation.
Also the guy most people go to with gun questions. There is another guy who is the gun guy for precision shooting. But everything else is me. |
| I have been told I am hard, fair, manipulative, decisive, abrasive, trustworthy, intelligent and intuitive to the point it's scary and able to fix or move any bad project off high center. I've also been told I'm a workaholic and borderline alcoholic so there is that... |

No, I'm not a badass and don't like the reputation, though it was earned. What is your work reputation? I hate, HATE small talk. I hate when people hijack audiences (IE we have to be there for training, but instead of training you use the time to tell all of your war stories). I hate wasting time. Get to the point. I'm known as a quiet introvert. But my wife, kids, family and friends know me as HOTBEERJOSH and I'm completely the opposite. Its because I only choose to share myself with real friends. No Facebook, no other snap chat, twitter. Or anything. Just AR15.com and you tube. |

Train wreck guy
When we have an absolute shit show or train wreck of a patient coming out of the OR with an open chest, the tree of life, with multiple external cardiac devices or a patient being transferred from some shit hospital system that was incapable of delivering adequate care but the managing service there was to proud to transfer the patient sooner and now the patient is looking like a bag of dicks and is on death's doorstep, I get requested to be the primary nurse from the admitting service and end up getting the booby prize

Like working for Hitler. Like working for an emotionless machine. Well I work hard. I expect my team to match me. That's why I hired them, to work hard, not socialize and play on the phone the entire day. That's what allotted break time is for. Or finish up early and go home early. |

Quoted:
Unsociable. Sorry, but I have nothing in common with any of my coworkers and am not here to make friends. You know about 25 years ago I was talked to by a supervisor for not being a "team building player". My crime? I would not be part of group affairs which were mostly after work hours. I told him I generally don't associate with fellow workers after work hours as I am there to earn a living and do a required job. |

QA/IT Registered Nurse.
Kind of like internal affairs. Staff nurses think I am a management hit man. Management thinks I get the respect/support from staff that they deserve. I am a necessity that no one is overly fond of. Sounds good to me, I'm working from home if anyone needs me. |

Im the guy that fixes stuff , not like mechanical , but processes. I also have a rep of being a fair and honest person that will discuss issues with you both business and personal. This is, generally, how I've been told I'm seen by my coworkers and staff. If I have the time, I'm all about looking into the *why* something isn't working in a collaborative environment or listening to an employee's or colleague's personal issues with an eye toward a resolution. I have also been told I am "abrupt, curt and overly short with people." Which I acknowledge and actually see as an personality asset rather than a negative. I am incredibly efficient in my daily communications and people *always* understand my expectations and direction. I'd like to think that's true *because* I don't fuck around with fluffery when I'm on the job. I am not, by any stretch of the imagination, an ego-stroker or a "please and thank you" kind of boss, subordinate or colleague. To my knowledge, it's never cost me anything professionally though, I've missed a few Happy Hours and weekend BBQs over it, I'm sure. |
