Psychology 101 for the office bitches

Fundamental attribution error (FAE). Also known as actor-observer bias.



When you see your colleague stoning away, you think she's a slacker, hello to FAE, bitches.

Don't you attribute the behavior to one's character.
Try overvaluing the situational effect for a bit.
If the accountants can't release the financials, should the analyst be creating imaginary numbers to analyze?
Go fuck a tree. (I hereby apologize to the trees of the world)

Enough said. I wonder why social psychologists never worked with IO psychologists to solve such a simple issue. Probably coz they're waiting for me to get my PhD in Psychology.
