What makes a "good guy*" at the workplace? (*read the explanation for the thing
I've been pondering this concept for years and years.. sometimes I've seen myself as one, but most of the time I've pondered if I qualify.
The background: the concept of "a good guy" is used in Finnish work related situations to note a person who's just outright desirable, such a person will fit in, perhaps lighten up the spirits without being in any sort of responsible position whatsoever, and he's also reliable, somewhat fun, and has a twist in their personality .. and a clue.
Now it almost sounds as if I knew what a "good guy" is.
I don't.
Is this thing common with the countries of the world?
*) I couldn't find a gender-free expression for what we have in here.. "hyvä tyyppi". The closest I found was "good guy", even though "hyvä tyyppi" may also describe woman as well as men.
