In brief...: Staff mimic celeb chefs

Aug 1 2008

Office workers believe they have similar traits to celebrity chefs, ranging from the fiery attributes of Gordon Ramsay to the more laid-back approach of Nigella Lawson, according to a survey.

A poll of over 1,200 staff by recruitment firm Office Angels found that many compared their own personalities, or those of colleagues, to well known chefs.

One in five compared themselves with Gordon Ramsay, believing they worked well under pressure and were single-minded about achieving results, while a tenth said they were more like Nigella Lawson, preferring to work at their own pace.
