Laboratory groups have a dynamic that is fairly unique, in that people work more independently than in other groups, and the organizational structure tends to be rather horizontal. Practically, this means that everyone is equal, and it is usually no one’s job to show you how to do things. Do not assume that because a person has a “lower” status than you, you can indiscriminately order that person to make a buffer for you: You might get the buffer, but you might also generate a lot of passive aggression. Antagonizing someone may mean that no one will clear out freezer space for you, take your tubes out of the water bath when you have forgotten them, or help you do a calculation until you change your attitude.
"Are we thinking of the same person?
Let's wriggle our fingers and point to the person on '3'.
'1........2.......3!'"
Both fingers ended up pointing in the same direction.
No prizes for guessing who.
Oh.
Did I mention that I have been officially invited to the first inaugural meeting of FHCC?
