Some Mahaan Vichaars from gaya3

Ok I need to admit this, the idea of writing this post came from vinnie's posts on ATM and Date laws. So impressed was I, that I decided to write some laws in my own ishytle.

I am in my office sipping tea (that has pahaad jaisa sugar) and am typing this post as my boss is nowhere to be seen today :)

So here we go, given below are my mahaan vichaars on 'BOSS' . Like him or hate him, but you just cannot ignore him. This is my way of paying respects to all those bosses under whom I have worked for two years.



My vichaars on Bosses

1. All bosses are hari sadus*, but all hari sadus are not bosses

2. Your boss is ON time when you are slightly beyond time

3. Your boss will be late the day when you are ON time

4. You invariably get caught up with extra work on the day you want to leave early (moulin thanks for this.)

5. Your boss will compulsorily suffer from amnesia or short-term memory loss just before the appraisal period

6. The company/boss decides on cost-cutting policies only during the pay hike season

7. Your Facebook page is always open only when your boss comes to your workstation to discuss some top priority work issues

8. Higher the rate of treating your boss with RESPECT, higher are your chances of promotion

9. Higher the rate of arguing, lower are your chances of promotion

10. Your boss always calls for meetings when its 3.30 PM and when you are in a mood for afternoon siesta.

11. Your boss is equally a frustrated soul as you.


*-If you have seen the Naukri.com ad, you will know who Hari Sadu is. For those who have not seen it, Hari Sadu is a kadoos boss who loves to iltreat his employees. Later on, the employee gets back at him by calling him hitler, arrogant, rascal and idiot under the pretext of spelling his name.


P.S: I need to admit, my current boss is nothing like what I have mentioned above. He is one of those rare bosses who treat their employees with respect. If you have any inputs to add, do feel free to do so.

    I used to swear at my boss in my posts. One day while introducing me to some of his peers of some other dept, he said "She writes very well. Very talented". Khallas!!!!!

    hehhee!
    its good u put that post script thing, we never know which way a boss may turn!
    i love that Hari Sadu ad :P

    i wanna add something similar as the rule on facebook u've mentioned...i was fully loaded with work one day but somehow managed to squeeze in a little time for Naukri.com, my bloody manager popped into my desk that very moment to take a status update...if it wasnt enough embarassment already, this happened again at the end of the day....luckily some saving grace was that i had finished the load!

    Always open Naukri.com when ur boss is on vacation:)

    another additon...BOSS <-> SSOB (Stupid Son of a B****)

    cool vichaars n keep them coming...

    My boss is also not at all like that... But he "had" a very notorious anger management problem. So no one in the company, even his superiors was afraid of him :P and wont cross him.

    We got used to this, "occasionally-going-ballistic". But now a days, i guess he going to some yoga or anger management classes... :(

    he is not at all going berserk

    @Gaya3
    its coz he was and is still a standup guy. no matter what ever and how ever things are stacked up against our team, he would be on our side and would understand us.

    that why we like him :)

    p.s- ever had a female boss? I would soooooooo get that to work for me!!!

  20. BullsheeJune 16, 2009 at 6:11 AM

    The day you are ON time and the boss is late...well, he sees that as the day you came too early, and unnecessarily used up office resources like A/C,lights and coffee machine for free...

    ReplyDelete
  21. gayathri-vishwanathanJune 16, 2009 at 11:00 PM

    hi bullshee...thankfully i always come late and leave early, hence the question of using office resources does not really arise atleast not in my case :)

    and yes i had a female boss who reminded me of Miranda priestly from devil wears prada. Actually you can be sure of a kurukshetra battle if both the boss and the subordinate are females

    Nice blog. How about a boss who changes his/her mind every few minutes and thus preventing you from progressing in your project. How about a boss who takes credit for your work. Worst, how about a boss who doesn't have guts to tell on your face that your performance is not satisfactory to him/her. Instead say, "I think you are an OK performer, but my boss thinks you are not".

    #9 should read, "The more you argue with your boss, the more likely you'll be needing Naukri's services very soon."

    And since 12 points looks way cooler than 11, "12) If you happen to have a public blog where you trash bosses in general, it is a good idea to add a post script praising your own."

    Just kidding... :D

    SG...cool inputs yaar...will include them when i write a continuation of this post...hehehe I guess we can almost write a book on it, what say?

    gkam, Hari Sadu ad is my fav too...he is the true symbol of real boss.

    rohan, I guess I have added the PS in which i praised my own boss...and guess what, my boss saw the post and asked me if the PS was added just as a buffer or whether i really meant it :)
