Chief Bullying Officer

The primary inspiration of this post is Sidin Vadukut and Cubiclenama

His satirical writing style has fascinated me and so is his desire to criticize the HR department. But in all honesty most of the situations portrayed by him come up true because of shortcomings of HR.

Based on reading his articles and interning with 4 organizations i was able to come up with this unique character of "Chief bullying officer" they are spotted commonly in most offices and found in abundance in government offices. As their name suggests they are mostly in the top strata of the company and which gives them the right to bully officially also. Some of the characteristics of this creature is

#Belongs to the top rung of corporate ladder

#Loves to impose rules but does not apply to themselves

#May very well be your boss

#Short tempered. His anger is unpredictable just like him

#Will never say no to his/her boss and will go to any extent to keep them happy

#great communication skills which they show off and have often used to climb up the corporate ladder

#Might forcefully add you as a friend on Facebook

#Will love to disturb you in the weekends

#Will love to comment on your twitter updates while you are enjoying food

#Will love to insult you and make others laugh over it if possible

#Everybody in the office are scared of him and respect him because they don't want to pick up a squabble with him/her

#Wants you to take everything in good spirit without even consulting you

If your boss satisfies any 5 criteria's congratulations you have the apathy of working under "Chief Bullying Officer" and they only way to escape is wait for him to jump to another company so that you can take over as the "Chief Bullying Officer"

Cheers

Arvind !!
