It was a Tuesday evening when my team mate and I rushed to one of the session which had started sharp at 4.30. we were late by 15 mins, for which we had good justifiable reason…
The trainer however was a practical person, so could understand our situation… but by the time we reached, the air in the room was hot… Our manager was waiting at the entrance and was furious to see us coming late… He was on call and was blabbering “I don’t want this kind of passive response from you and your team members” …. For an instant I assumed that someone else was the pray for his anger… so I just greeted him with a smile..
He turned to me and the other team member and said, “yeah I was talking abt you guys only with your TL!!!, tell me why were you late?!!”... My mind went on a trance and I murmured that we were doing the migration activity of one of the HIGH priority project!!... My manager with the sharp ear could hear my explanation!!... For some time I had a feeling that I was answering my school principal… she was lady who would never take the reasons given by the fellow students easy…
Some resemblance which I found with my manager and my school princi were:-
He calls up the TL coz he doesn’t trust our explanation on delay to session…. And my princi used to call for a parents-teachers meeting if she doesn’t find us in the morning exercise session!
He keeps roaming around to see if all the team members are around….and if we are found missing during the tea break, then sends a sarcastic mail with the subject line, “No one in the bay!”…. My princi had set a speaker in our class, so that if the decibel raises, then she would get a beep in her office and she would blast us from there and dismiss the class and make us stand in the sun as part of the punishment!! (She was cruel!!!!)
When my manager speaks, he assumes he is always correct and never apologizes if he is proven wrong… Princi was “the princi” and she assumed that she can mend our ways by giving more punishments!!!
When my manager speaks, I notice his teeth and assume, it’s a high time for him to visit a dentist….When my princi spoke, I used to notice her head and I assumed that she must go to Dr.Batra for hair implantation…coz there was a rumour/fact that she was bald..
When my princi spoke, all I prayed was, “oh god, no-more-punishments-plz”…. And when my manager spoke on that day to me, all I prayed was, “Oh god!!, let this fellow not dare to show up this as a reason to spoil my appraisal”….
At school, after the hour of punishment, the dialogues which used to automatically come “Yeh aurath seedha narakk mei jaayegi!! Iski gaadi ki tyre phoot jaaye!!.. Let it rain like hell on the day when this lady call for a expensive party to celebrate some event!!!.... Heartless female… Motii kahikii…. Hamaare paiso(school fees) se liya hua isska car…aur hame ek ride bhi na mila…… bhaad mein jaaye !!... Evlu onntiketa tara sanna aadrene evll gandannge match aagodu..else evlu dummmi ne!”
At office, after he finished his lecture session on what made him furious, the immediate outburst I will blog on this fellow and let the whole world know that he is a screwy manager!!
