It ain’t oRDinArY

Everyone is a Boss nowadays. It is not easy to be a boss, except you mean being a mamak boss. When you’re at the mamak shop, you said “Boss, teh tarik satu”. The mamak will then answer, “Ok boss! RM1.20 boss”. The mamak guy is a boss, you’re the boss, even the waiters are called bosses. What makes a boss…well, a boss?

Bosses almost never complain their staffs to the public. I once heard from an MD, “I never hang my guys out to dry. They made the mistake. I scold them privately but I protect their ass in public” It’s just like your parents spanking your ass at home but the moment after, buy you nice pants so no one notices your swollen butt. That way, you get your lessons and at the same time, have some nice Levi’s sticking onto your wounded flesh. But you’ve never stop hearing the complains from the employees, do you?

I have noticed that most of the top management a.k.a Boss are using ‘old styled’ phones. These are either Nokia 3310 or some other type of mono coloured screen handphones. Even if it’s the latest handphone, it will be the cheapest. This occurs while the employee holds out his thin iPhone or some of the latest PDA phones. And mind you, these phones are being allocated to the staffs through phone allowances. So, who’s the daddy boss here?

It also makes me admire people who are their own boss and employ lots of staffs. Being a staff, you have the privilege to resign when you don’t like the boss or the company. But being a boss, you could not just hand someone a big letter saying “You’re fired” just because they dig their nose and accidentally flipped that shit onto your face. You just have to live with it. Well, but if they are caught facebooking while calling in sick, that makes a firing as what happens to a woman in Zurich.

And the internet jokes are always pointed at bosses. They are protrayed as people with pea-sized brains while we, the employees are always the smart ones. Do we call this the majority making fun of the minority? Let’s not make fun of the bosses and start respecting them, huh?

So boss, any mid-year increment/bonus this year for me? This posts is up just because I’m in need of ca$h. lol~
