The Extraterrestrial Life Of An Employee : Chapter 02 : Pawns, The Immortal Soldiers


Chapter 01 : The Boss Almighty

Disclaimer : It is entirely a work of fiction and I do not have any intend to hurt the feelings of these Soldiers.

Chapter 02 : Pawns, The Immortal Soldiers


We all have come across a lot of people, who would either never even have the slightest though of their bosses ever being wrong or they may always despise their bosses all the time. Moreover, they are impeccable motivators.

These are few of the qualities which can possibly assist a corporate individual to recognize a pawn, since they motivate us by either discriminating or assuring that the bosses are, as we think of them. Which ultimately help them to gather enough information to determine if we are worthy enough to exist in their environment or not.

The most important question is "Why" they go thru this hassle, instead of doing their own work ? (Please leave it in comments below, if anyone has figured out the precise reason)

Hence, let's discuss what all could a pawn achieve by being an Immortal Soldier !!!

Promotion :-

A promotion could indeed inspire someone to take over this mantle, if obtained from someone who has already been promoted. Everyone wants to get an easy promotion, precisely they already know their capabilities and are aware of the probabilities as well, if ever tried.

Work Less (Worthless) :-

There are people who are more than happy to stay in same role till the end, but ironically they want to work less, since either they are already worthless or only god knows why. This kind is the funniest and most despicable, since they have been a soldier for years and are not willing to give up their mantle at any cost.

Legend :-

Now, the most iconic type. We all have at least one in a team, who is a legend due to the wisdom and knowledge over all aspects of the company and the employees as well. They are the most scared or rather insecure ones as they create a legacy which they cannot possibly pass to anyone else in the organization. Which makes them the most irritating kind.

Drinks/Cigarettes :-

These are those who, when needed indicate their bosses that there is some useful information but the charge is either in the denomination of Drinks or Cigarettes. They are barely bothered about anything else in this god created useless world. Which makes them even more deceitful.

Sin-Eater :-

This is a spiritual kind, when a boss makes a tough decision and even if it was wrong. This kind would convince them for their deeds to be of the righteous. There are a lot of people who fall in this category unwillingly as well, since they need their job secured.

I am certain, now we all can relate someone with few or all of the qualities mentioned above. This is what they could possibly achieve by being a pawn, but the cost ?

They are merely a pawn in this game of chess, rather they are the most vulnerable part of the company. If or when needed, they would be the most expandable part of a company as they have always been statistically underachievers since the beginning. Moreover, this aspect makes their position only as immortal, not an individual as they are more replaceable than anyone else who exist in their environment.

A boss can never be always right or always wrong. Hence, decide wisely and stay away from a pawn and also avoid being one of them. Although, more concerning matter is "why" does bosses even need to get information on what an employee think of them, however this is sometime else to be discussed in a few blogs later, maybe in chapter 04 or 05.

I am certain most of us has a few stories about the pawns and please share them in the comments below (Needless to say, anonymously) and I may update the blog accordingly.

Always remember, Choose Wisely and Live Freely...Cheers !!!
