Corporate Ladder !
Today I was supposed to have a discussion a.k.a. showdown with my Boss. We had to discuss something and I strongly believed that the kinda strong headed he is, he will definitely put up a fierce fight and things will turn messy. It was like a match between ManU and Liverpool with both sides allowed to kick wherever they get a chance, break all the circular looking things and break all the joints and see that you kick more flesh than rubber. But the worst part is scorer always favours the person sitting on the higher chair. It’s like scorer has a bad case of carpal tunnel from pressing the button so often, Bosses to win with ever increasing margins.
Though I believe company chooses Bosses who are always there to keep you feeling bad of your own hard work, but the one I have is too much. He will keep on arguing/fighting/resisting and will take you to the lowest level of logical discussion and beat you with his competence. Sometimes I believe how can a company with such a repute can put a man of limited (may be over rated) competence to such a higher level. Or is it how large companies operate. Have 3 ppl in top management who will do all the thinking for us and put all those people lower down the order who can just act instantly without asking questions. It’s a corporate ladder wherein you sitting down, the more upwards you see, you only see asses. Someone shits from top and you have to do the cleaning things. Even if a shake up happens, only people down the ladder get fallen off. I still couldn’t imagine how come a normal human being converts into an Ass the moment he crosses a certain hierarchy and his Ass-Index is directly proportional to the number of ladder he goes up.
And even after the presence of this crème-la-crème sitting at top, if the company is still going ok, then there do exists God on this earth. Amen !

Y’day i thought of eating out and went to a restaurant. Since it was just close to my home, so I thought walking down to the restaurant. It was a lovely, slightly chill evening with kinda calm, serene background. I really enjoyed that path but the moment I entered the restaurant, there was a crackling sound everywhere. I mean, any railway station would easily have competed in decibel level which was quite a contrast to what is observed earlier while walking.
Earlier I thought of leaving the place but my ravenous appetite made me stay. So, I ordered fast and was waiting for the order to come. After few minutes when I was engulfed in my thoughts, I some how started feeling at ease. The noise which was at the same level, started coming down and after my food was delivered, I suddenly felt that why there is so calm here, where all my vocalizing natives went. I mean, how come the earlier deafening noise had become so hushed. Is it how its supposed to be. Is it how we just stop reacting to anything after some time? Does noise always become silent after some time ?
I mean, how come our views change so often and so soon with time and we nicely put it as time heals everything. If we see in our regular life as well, we often crib about our tyrannical boss, servile job, monotonous life but we still carry on without trying to change anything. Why we start accepting everything that comes in our lives. Why we always go with the flow and never want to take a detour no matter how much interesting is it. Why we always are able to find reasons to justify ourselves as to why ought to be happy and not change anything.
I still couldn’t answer myself for being in same job for 4 years when I don’t belong here.
