I can only speak for myself. I'm a Scorpio and I really am brilliant.  Seriously: I'm reliable (both with my direct colleagues and my boss), a good keeper of 'trade secrets'. What's been told and explained to me in a professionally appropriate way will be done in the same manner all times. I haven't been on a sick leave for like six years, which is all the time I've been here. Weaknesses? I prefer serious people at work who operate more or less the same way as me. I don't like, in fact I hate people who are always searching for ways out and mix the crap behind the scenes. Sometimes I wish I was more 'involved' with some of my colleagues' lives, but then again, I'm always reminded of the downside of that: complicated relations and relationships, strained environment that comes with that etc. Then they tell me, 'oh, you were so much wiser to stay out of this'. So I socialize but not THAT much. Only with a very limited number of people. Virgos, speak! IP: Logged |

Its a tought call.Scorpios will have things under there own control. Virgos will simply manipulate. But, I whould say scorpios are a "tought nut to crack" and therfore Scorpios deserve the title. I've worked with both and its easier to detect manipulation and prevent a virgo from manipulating then a controling scorpio that has to much power. But, there is a way around them. Virgos, will fail when they miss to see the bigger picture. I mean I've worked with a manipulative virgo boss she was so narrow minded she failed to think that if I hired students they whould all eventualy quit after graduation. As per scorpios
This was an accident, but it helped me alot. I was working as a web programer with a Scorpio supervisor. I got a request from a senior manager higher then "Ms Scorpio". I said "All have to inform Mrs. Scorpio and let her know". She refused the senior manager request and got flak for it. So her controlling attitude cost her. ----------------------------------------- Capircorn Rising Gemini Sun, 5th House Aries Moon Mercury in Gemini Venus In Taurus IP: Logged |

I think any sign can be a real good employee if they are mature enough and in a field that is a good fit for them and to determine if person is in a field that is good fit for them you have to look at the entire chart including asteroids.IP: Logged |

I'm a Virgo and I'm an excellent employee and boss when I was one. I'm punctual, rarely miss a day of work, I have to be unable to get out of bed for that to happen. I like to work. I don't like to just sit around. I don't look at anything as beneath me. Though there are some jobs I prefer over others but I do what I have to do to make a living and I don't complain about it. I'm easy to get along with. And I'm very good at the mechanics of whatever job I have. I'm not afraid to step up and take charge when no one else can be bothered to do it (this happens quite a bit) I offer to help people even if it's not 'my job'. I don't steal and I always give credit where it's due. I dont' know if it's because I'm a virgo but except for my past tendency to not stay at a job very long (I have a child now and can't do that anymore because the consequences wouldn't just be mine to face)I am the ideal employee. I don't know if it's because they are a scorpio or not but I know one who was hell to work with. All they did was complain and throw fits over stupid things. Nothing was good enough unless it was exactly the way they wanted it and even then they would find something to complain about. Just a very negative person. They were good at the mechanics of the job but if it were up to me I would have fired them because you can train a monkey to do a job but you can't make someone so shrouded in negativity and drama, pleasant to work with. People like that really make going to work with a good attitude very difficult. Brings everyone down. IP: Logged |

Virgos and manipulative???? RUBBISH. Manipulation is a trait which can be found in anyone. It could be due to some combo of placements and/or genes. It has nothing to do with being virgo. I have Pluto in virgo in 10th (by sidereal which i go by). And i am a good employee (thats what others say). IP: Logged |

Manipulative belongs more to Scorpio, fixed trait.The best employee I know is a Scorpio sun, but he has a 6th h stellium. I've known him for 5 years, and he's never called in sick one time. Although... he has been late. Scorpios are often late.  Only issue people have with him is that he has Virgo Mars, and he picks other employees to death, then the Scorpio temper kicks in, and he gets very testy with them. Other people quit left and right. Lol. Ok, maybe Virgo IS a better choice! IP: Logged |

Yeah lol. Saying Virgos are manipulative is pretty hilarious actually. We're pretty straight up people and don't like games. Scorps love mind games though. IP: Logged |

Funny you should say that, I happen to be a Scorp with Mars in Virgo and while I can definitely see the weak part in others' (and my) work, I very rarely tell them. Only when I think it's to the good of the company - or the colleague in question - to do so. Even then, I'm careful with my words. Okay, that's probably the Libra. IP: Logged |

Definitely virgo. Virgos are friendly, humble, easygoing, and eager to do their best job. Scorpios will start drama left and right with everyone. They're also pretty antisocial and can also be very lazy and irresponsible. I don't see how this is a close call at all. Lol.The only upside to Scorpio is that they can be brilliant. They can beat out the narrow-minded and unimaginative virgo through sheer talent and creativity (especially if they have a sagittarius mercury). But few people are more hardworking than a virgo. Yet look at Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson, both two of the most innovative singers who completely revolutionized music by doing something new. If you want to talk talented AND hardworking, though. Talk to a Capricorn. Now, they can definitely beat a scorpio. IP: Logged |

I am a Virgo moon and i am very imaginative. So much so that my dreams are colourful. And colourful dreams is a sign of very imaginative person. I have a friend who is a virgo and and she too is very imaginative. Writes poems and all. So ..... Don't know about narrow mindedness. It depends on what your defination of broad mindedness is. I am very coperative and adjusting with my collegues BUT if it means some will just freak out consistently at the cost of others at work then yes i will draw a line there. If other aspects like taking risks and broader vision is considered i don't think virgos are narrow minded. May be they are not as dynamic as aries or strong as scorpio (guts). But if their chart has other placements to support this then even that is taken care of.IP: Logged |

I think it depends on rest of chart. Lots of virgos have some libra planets too right? Esp libra venus or mercury.I have a libra moon, venus and mercury lol and they all conjunct. One thing I'm definitely not is unimaginative. I'm pretty darn creative, and that's what everyone says about me too. IP: Logged |

I'm a six house Scorpio(Moon&Pluto conjunct). Wut!LoL...Oh yeah but I think a Scorp person would be more likely to flip if they didn't get the promotion...especially if they know/feel they where more qualified. I think I Virgo would also be hurt...but a Scorpio would seek vengeance! Or an un-evolved Scorp anyways (I know from experience. lmao) Even when I did community theater when I auditioned for Annie. I kicked ass! Do you know how rare having a clear belt voice for a young girl is...which I had! Not very common. Well the director still gave the part to the girl she knew. I was so angry about how unfair this was...I would act like a team player there...but secretly resented the director so much...and thought she was a stupid b!tch. Something had to happen for her stupid decision. Sometimes I feel our minds are more powerful than we know. The way this girl sang I knew she was pushing her voice and straining it trying to sing...I fantasized about her losing her voice and me taking over constantly! AND IT HAPPENED. Other people in the cast started talking backstage "why wasn't she Annie?" The girl who played Grace Farrel cried and do her make up over cause I sang "Tomorrow" so good. I knew the director got her humiliation for her dumb choice, and I got my justice. I'm not always this way...like where I work now someone else got the promotion. But I didn't check my e-mail for 2 weeks...of course it that week they sent out the 'who wants a promotion e-mail' I replied too late...so it's my own fault...and the lady who got it use to be a daycare director and she is a single mom so she does need it more than I do. But I can't help but hope...after she finishes college she will go else where, and that I will be next in line. But I know that may not happen...it's not like I'm the best and everyone else sucks @ss. That is not the case. Everyone there is good. I also got some vengeance and justice at my old job from my racist supervisors and I got to make them look dumb. Buy calling fat F()ck out on his racist shenanigans to the pres. of the company and the people who represented the union...she was outraged (she is biracial so she has perspective to both sides) And I got to call the IRS on them...since they didn't want to give me my W2 form. It was a loose-loose situation for them...they didn't want to give it to me, but I also finally threatened to call the IRS on them. I WIN. And I probably make as much as those supervisors now. So HA!

My sister is doing well on her job. She has Venus and Pluto in Scorpio and moon in Virgoher old job...she had an annoying narcissist boss or supervisor or something like that. Who wouldn't do her work and would dump it on my sis...my sis got peeved cause she couldn't get her work done cause of the stuff being dumped on her. My sister has that Virgo moon shy side to her...but she has a spit fire side to her too...she told that lady one day "you need to do your own work" I found that so epically awesome, and hilarious that she said that to her higher up. So my sister moved on from there...she hasn't been at her new job long. I think her Libra Sun makes her a good accountant too, but she was able to notice a money error and saved the company a lot of money. She even got presented an award, along with a big paycheck. She got promoted to team leader. But no raise for it. Which she should of probably got cause some people under her come up to her over stupid petty drama. Like this one guy who is a homo-phobic will be paranoid. Even told her being that way is not of God. He freaked out cause the metro sexual guy who is straight...just really into himself asked him "do I look good in these pants?" And my sister is not a fan of the office skank either. She doesn't want to hear about this married woman sleeping around with married men...My sister finds that news getting back to her to be very tacky... My sister even told me how now that she is more in charge she plans on not having her at a cubical with any men. Not to mention the drama when this woman put the moves on the office felon(for domestic violence I believe) flipped out on this woman. My sis is already looking for a better job. IP: Logged |

Scorps love mind games though.[/QUOTE Completely agree. I am a virgo too and I hate playing games........I agree that this is more an aries and scorpio thing..maybe bc mars is ruled by scorpio and aries so they like a challenge. but there is different ways of been manipulative. you can be strategic about it and get a person to do something they did not want to do originally without them realizing you are pulling the strings. This is more scorpio style, you won't even know you are been manipulated lol. The other type is emotional blackmail and this type can be used by any sign. I am virgo and I pride myself on picking up easily when people are been manipulative. I don't manipulate others, I hate people that are manipulative and good luck trying to manipulate me!
and as for virgos not been able to see the big picture well that depends on the entire chart. My chart ruler is in jupiter which is in sag and conjuncts my rising in sag. Seeing the big pic comes very naturally to me. I also have venus and mars in the 9th. IP: Logged |

BINGO! The best answer! Its also funny when we say things like "oh, that is not true about _insert sign_, because I do this...I know someone who is _insert sign_ who does that." But back to the OP, hopefully you aren't using this to decide whether or not you should hire (or fire) someone. That would be terrible.

I feel like Scorpios, in the general sense, are better for "fixed" positions like higher management or consulting. Virgos, in the general sense, are better workers, more adaptable, and fulfill a "busy bee" position where they're out in the field. Notice how I didn't say "worker bee"; they can be in management, but I feel that they'd be happier doing more because, let's face it, the higher up you go on the ladder the less you do (but the more money you make). *shrug*Anyway, their gifts are better utilized when in action. They're great organizers, punctual, and thorough. I often wish virgos were out there getting things done. For example, I know an Aquarius who is great at seeing the big picture, but is horrible at getting all the details DONE. Mutables, in general, are much better workers, IMO. IP: Logged |

I have never, in 16 years of working, ever started any drama in any workplace. I am a Scorpio with a Cancer Moon in the 6th house and Aquarius rising.I am a better worker than most of the people in the office, except for the double Capricorn who puts even me to shame. Just sayin'.... if you've met a handful of Scorpios in your young life, R.A.S., you still have no authority to lump them all into a category. IP: Logged |

Hire a Virgo if you want to do very detail work and give no responsibility. Service oriented job. Hire a Scorpio if you want to get people managed or things get done not only by Scorpio or other people as well. Manager Job Both are capable of working long hours and sometimes in isolation. Give Scorpio freedom.Do not bother too much about occasional late coming as mostly your deadlines would be met. Give Virgo lots of input. Scorpio Sun Virgo Mars IP: Logged |
