I work in the IT industry…something that’s thronged by people by the scores every quarter.
And so it gives one a good opportunity to meet the ‘S P E C I E S’!
Don’t get me?…ya know them all…they are there in every office.
And no matter how things change for the better or the worse; the world’s never going to run out of them :)
So let’s explore the jungle now…well from the top of the food chain.
The King:
Obviously the lion…the supposedly majestic animal that prowls the cubicle areas with the pride that’s matched only by the lethal speed that it’s roving eyes catch a glimpse of it’s poor little prey; sprinting out to catch the last bus. Makes sure that the poor creature is dragged back to the confines of the cubicle and is made to stay irrespective of whether or not it was actually needed!
But apart from that, just like it’s ‘jungly’ counterparts, the Corpo Lion also is one of those lazy filthy creatures which do nothing but roam around pointlessly all day, having meetings with fellow Lions, coffee and the occasional fag and leave the work to others. And when it’s time to divide the loot (read laurels); they always manage to snatch it all away. And what do they actually know about the work they/their team’s doing is something that’s as mysterious as those strange jargons that they dish out in times of crisis rather than resolving it (You got to admire it; they always manage to get away with it!)

More on the food chain…soon!
