FUN workplace environmentđ
hoped the emoji would be DARK, matching the story
âIt took you 9 minutes to come back from smoke, when that usually takes 5, if youâll repeat this next time, I ll give you a fucking write-off, understood?â-
The General Manager gave him todayâs quota of âspecial treatmentâ bullshit at the chance he got, and why wouldnât he?
He also likes to play the game, the ULTIMATE WORKPLACE game:-
The POWER Struggle
The GM says, âI am the Leader of the pack, my Word is the Law, You all shall Fear me, You all shall bow before me. Muhahahahaaaaâ
And JOE, a simple yet brave employee stands tall in front of this âYours Tyrannyâ, Shouts back, âI Canât Respect you, youâre not fit to be a Leader, thinking Bulling your subordinates is your Only Job,
Like Arenât youâre supposed to be getting paid for actually doing the job?
But, I see you gracefully handing out your work to your Loyal subjects, baptizing them, beautiful strings of web saying, âyouâre now among the chosen ones.ââ
JOE scratches his chin, *I wonder why I am the only one who can see the DEMON Face at the back of his Head, mumbling repeatedly, âDo what I command you, or you will be forsaken and FIRED.â*
The DEMON Face grins,
â My Simple-minded mate,
Nowadays,
to stay in Trending-Successful state,
To Live means to MANIPULATE.â
*JOE claps* in Awe, âSounds Fun. I acknowledge your way of survival. The art of Manipulation is actually a Talent itself, honestly, I donât hate itâŚ
BUTâŚ
I Hate seeing my friends, the not-so-good at Sweet-talking thing, get bullied, that Scared look on their face turns my stomach.
I Hate their Never-changing expression of âIf I donât do this task perfectly, I am gonna get FIRED.â
The DEMON, with a condescending look on his face, says, âGood. Youâre all supposed to live like this in the Pack.
But, YOU, how dare YOU, act standoffish at my every Command.
Why donât you bow down?â
The DEVIL on the front of JOEâs Face resounds, â I kneel before Noone, but My PRIDE.
The PRIDE I take in my exceptional work, the sound of which reaches to ones above your pay grade.
I donât like being told how to do stuff and that wonât change.â
*The DEMON grits his teeth* asks anxiously, â But, why do you always disrespect me in front of everyone?â
*The DEVIL smiles, revealing fangs* , âPublic Execution is my Dopamine. Plus, when I hear things from your inner circle plotting âhow to control JOE, the power trip taste so sweet.ââ
*The SAGE at the back of JOEâs head, comes out of the shadows* says softly, âMy methods may look wrong how I live my life but I just want to show these good people how one can stand up to INJUSTICE and still feel safe at their job.â
DEMON enrages, âDamn YOU, Damn YOU to HELL.â
DEVIL laughs. SAGE smiles.
