Boss


Just think about the non-existence of Sardarjis and Khan Sahibs on this crust and you would be deprived of more than half of all jokes created in our region. The dawn of every day brings a new and funny joke involving either of them. And what are other hot categories of jokes? One can cite plenty of them like children, spouses, women, employees, and the BOSS.

Yes, boss is a unique creature and character affecting our behavior and bringing considerable impacts on our lives. Boss-employee relationships have long been discussed and some funny guidelines are also available. A simple joke that we learned decades ago goes like; “Rule #1: Boss is always right. Rule #2; if Boss is wrong, follow the Rule # 1.”

With the advent of internet, many new jokes floated around about the boss, one of them became quite famous and “hit”. Last line of this joke reads as; “He/She is just sitting at the top and doing nothing but passes on shit.” People say that it doesn’t really matter you work in private or public organization because the bosses in both offices are alike.

How do they look like? Though most of the time you’ll find them old, bald and bold but recent advancements in corporate sector has brought a good number of smart & handsome young men and gorgeous women as bosses. But believe me, bosses are the most hated entity regardless of their disposition, stance, style and looks.

How can a boss be defined? While dumping the formal and usual definitions, it can be summarized as; “An individual who considers himself as knowing everything and can do everything without the help of his/her sub-ordinates (which he can never do). The one who speaks sarcasm, slur and non-sense, and infuriates you to test your nerves for retaliation and exhaling annoyance (Which you never do; and do on your friends, spouse precisely).

How one should behave with one’s boss? Wrong choice of the word “behave”; a subordinate ought to “follow meekly” all the orders/instructions irrespective of their (ill) wisdom, relevance, and priority. And more importantly, the subordinate must never show signs of anguish, frustration and fatigue at the end of office time when a bundle of new assignments are thrown in his/her face for completion before next morning.

Have a good next day!
