secret managers club

Conspiracy theory on secret Managers club

Though many of you might laugh it off, it is only because you are developers who are only hoping to be managers someday.
Because you have not tried to become a manager yet and dont know what it really is that makes them different from you.

When you are appointed a manager it changes everything about the way you perceive things.I remember my first day as manager when I was invited to the initiation room. With a bunch of others like me who were naive, clueless but had ambitious, sombre looks on our face. And yet others who were not virgins at this. To start off we were served what I thought was wine but was actually blood of
a newly sacrificed fresher. Yes thats just the beginning.Next we were forced to swear a blood oath to make everyone's life a living hell.
Some never survive this trauma ...I have seen good friends of mine crack under this pressure.Yeah picturise the sound when a  coconut is hit hard on a stone when you begin a shubh karya.Here coconuts were us.

And yet there are some who begin to enjoy the power and the control. They cross over completely to the other side,and are scouted by the bosses are hungry vultures who circle over dead prey and have their pick.Word is these are invited to enjoy these secret club privileges that one can only imagine. I am talking wolf of wall street special.But it is not easy. One has to sell ones soul for it.Before a jury of judges.With masks.And a contest where one of the rounds judge the competitors for how many employees lives they have scarred forever. And it is said they dont get pleased easy.

There are so many who try feats to get the attention of these judges.One has to be innovative with ways of employee torture and yet there are many who get rejected.

And then there are those softies, who need to be talked through and hand held through this ginormous responsibility.
Softies are put through english classes where they are taught the BS list. This forms an important part of the manager image.
To say words which sound very important but dont mean much or give the employee any clue as to what is expected from him. All a part of creating a sense of
mystery and fear in the employees heart. Also a sense of deniability to secure the manager from any blame.
Then we have daily duels where candidates have to out do each other in innovative ways of firing people.And if we fail we are made to face the firing instead, just the thought of it keeps us motivated.
And some are sent off to learn secret powers of mind control. These are the very elite who have been handpicked for their self assuredness.
If they show potential, they are taught how to make people feel guilty about expecting anything for themselves
from the company.It is said the very best learn to do it with only a single eye contact.
And then there are some who haven't found their calling yet and take it easy. Which can be a dangerous mistake.
THE TALK is most feared exercise.
 People who are asked to show up have been made to wait for hours. Left alone to wait in isolation chambers,cracks start to appear in their resolve and in no time they break as they are left to their own imagination in anticipation of what is to come and
they are worn down by the time they eventually make it in.
Then Mr Boss haves them make a deal they would never cross, it is said Mr Boss is the devil himself and knows the powers of mind control and thats how he gets people
to do as he wishes. But we will never know if theres any truth to it. To think of it I have never seen Mr Boss entering or leaving the room, which kind of makes me want to believe these stories.
It is said HE is the all seeing eye, he knows every thought that crossed your mind even before you speak it. Which is why I am practicing on filling my mind with a lot of noise and hope it will be enough to survive my upcoming talk with Mr Boss. Fingers Crossed it works.

delivery guy spoof

Spoof on delivery guys

Enter girl who places orders online on a daily basis
She tries and returns on a frequent basis and carries multiple phones per website and looks fabulously chic
She places so many orders frequently that when she floats in to pick her packages,theres a cool breeze around her hair and suddenly all the busy delivery guys stop to just take notice of her and her
in season clohing and all delivery guys be like madam madam madam aapka package and clamouring for her attention

And shes like bhaiyya aapne call kiya tha kya and he delivery guys mooning on her as she picks her package

Another scene where theres a smartly dressed delivery guy whos making moves on her and trying to be oversmart to get her to smile and she completely ignores him.

Until this one time she orders from a new site and this delivery guy is also fully dressed up in fashion she cant make out if hes a delivery guy or not and
he has brought this huge sack of stuff and its piled all over the floor and peopls are on thier knees searching for thier package as hes just standing and getting people to sign for the package n leave

And shes like "bhaiyya" and hes hardly paying her any attention and she walks off in a huff rather than having to search for her package
Next day she comes dressed all jazzed up and shes like today he will notice me and pick the package himself and give it to me, but no use.
Now shes really all worked up and shes like imagining scenarios in her head where she does a setting or does she have to have an text affair with him to get him to
deliver her packages on a priority basis.And we have hilarious text affair scenarios where shes like jaanu see na gucci belt missing to complete my outfit and send s him a pic
And hes like drooling over it
and shes like Abhi order kiya hai jaldi le aao with gift icon and heart eyes smiley
and she imagines him running in slow motion with her package and delivering to her as everyone who has come to pick packge just stops and turns and are gaping in jealousy as
they are still searching thiers while on thier knees

But none of that happens in real

We end up showing the girl maintaining delivery guys like guys have to maintain girls in hopes that one day they will consider them as a boyfrn, only in this case for a priority delivery which includes tings like
taking them out to eat, chauffering them around, listening to their sad stories:p








Appraisal season

Its that season of the year when employees are at their best , managers get treated with a lot of bhog just like we treat gods with sweets and sacrifices in the hope they forget our past sins:p
And while we must all go through this grind,lets have a laugh while we play this differently in our mind.
In an alternate universe where things happen exactly opp to what u think and perceive :

Its appraisal season again and meet Mr Boss who is currently sobbing as he expresses his fears to his wife about how he doesn't want to go to office. Come appraisal season and she has to go through this on a daily basis where she has to talk him out of his fears and sometimes even has to literally push her hubby to office on the promise of rewarding dinner in exchange.

in office:
Mr Boss is hiding behind his computer at his seat and hoping the day passes uneventfully. One of his employees is making his way towards the exit for tea break and slaps Mr Boss on the back as he passes by, only to make Mr Boss shudder inwardly.
But the universe  has other plans in store for Mr Boss .
in comes a mail from the HR arranging training camp for managers in view of the upcoming appraisal meetings.

At the training camp:
HR:
Today we will cover
 how to say NO to employees
how to face breakups with your kaamsu employees and survivethem
how to make employees feel guilty about expecting more from the company




blah blah blah as Mr Boss zones out only to snap back to reality when he hears his name called out.
HR to Mr Boss: I hope u r clear.
Mr Boss shakes his vigorously to rule out scope for any more questions.

On personal questions round
**imagine HR walking like Kajol with a whip in Baazigar and is like kitne aadmi hai:p**
And Mr Boss stammers and is like d..d..dus sarkar


On the day of appraisal:
Employee 1 on being told his rating is 2: Saab Saab aisa mat karo saab ...mera do biwi hai...chota chota bachha hai...2 rating ke bonus se kya karoon sahab..ab mien bachhon ko iphone kahan se doon sahab

Mr Boss is all sympathetic and increases his rating on hearing Emp 1

Employee 2 on bieng given rating2 :
Starts sobbing loudly
Mr Boss is feeling very uncomfortable and offers her a hanky and is like u can take the rest of the day off go to a spa.

Knowing he has totally blown it Mr Boss zones out as he tries to think of ways he can escape the firing he will gave to face from the HR. Maybe going underground for a week till HR Boss Lady cools her heels will do?Sneakily he books a ticket to his wifes maika in a village in western ghats with no network connectivity to take cover till the upcoming storm blows away.
