The evil thing called Boss


Boss: This ain't good, why don't you try to make it look better?

Me: Better? How?

Boss: Actually, I want the reader should gather the complete idea even before they begin reading.

Me: And how do you do that?

Boss: Try editing the line from subject to further, and do not go for short cuts here. Write complete line to give them a feel about the subject.

Me: Okay

Boss: I want it on my table in 15 minutes, shouldn't be a problem?


Me: I will do it


Boss: Do it now..It is URGENT
*************************************************

I swear, I imagined an Ally McBeal..stamped my feet, tossed my head and straightened my way to my hot seat

I tried to keep my calm.... I also tried becoming the catalyst to quality as well as productivity.

I imagined if I didn't have to churn our edited reams of notes, I would be the one dictating/ shouting/ re-editing/ reasoning. Without deigning, I would scheme a plan, I would try to imbibe focus.

I pretended to ignore the abrasive and brusquely dismissed tone  to those who can take it and glean value.



I still worked on it..duh..

Post editing the note

Boss: Umm..doesn't look good. Why don't you tailor out the irrelevant details?

Me: You asked me to make it detail oriented...so that the readers know about the stuff before reading (my ears felt the burning embers )

Boss: eh.. let it be. you won't be able to execute my thoughts...umm write subject to the previous note in place of further..........

Me: (@#$%^&*@#$%^&*) Pardon my french

Guess, it answers why Boss is evil
