In The Beginning…

…there was me, Urpgor X. I worked for a bastard boss within the corporate mining industry; — overpaid, incompetent, freeloading, but a very good drama actor. His name rhymes with Boris Yeltsin. I have no idea why, it just does.

Below are pictures of freeloaders.

Above is an ancient hieroglyph of a freeloader. In the ancient Sumerian texts, clay tablets were found expressing the dynamics of a corporate freeloader. It is believed that the ancient Shaman, had the ability to foresee the future.

Above is a more modern hieroglyph of a freeloader. It is also known as a “moving picture”, or a “cartoon”. At first glance, the common person believes that the elephant is the freeloader because it has goofy big ears and his first name is Dumbo. A scientific audit by Kay Pee Ex Wee, commonly pronounced kah-pew, concluded that the freeloader was actually the mouse. The mouse emotionally blackmailed and manipulated the elephant. The mouse never gave Dumbo the career advancement that he deserved.

Back to my story… My ex boss stole people’s ideas and claimed it as their own, did not give credit where it was due, and never gave promotions to people with business value. He did not respect skilled specialists. He was threatened by corporate budget cuts.

My ex boss’s favourite phrase was…

“We don’t need no eh-due-mah-cation”,

…said in a pre-school teacher voice. It is no wonder why he was the center of a multi-million dollar corporate decision loss. He was however, ready to blame the severely under paid technical professionals. Supreme in their industry, but with zero incentive to move mountains.

Would you command a janitor to correct a CEO’s executive road map? Why would you expect a junior to wipe the ass of a manager with a salary twice the size. Never educate your boss. Let them go through failure cycles. There is a price for everything. No money. No honey.

Above is a technical specialist being manipulated by a freeloader in a position of power. It is not commonly found in archeological discovery sites located in first world free countries.

When an incompetent manager in a position of power feels threatened by their co-worker competition, they do what they do best. Manipulate. Create a social perception about their competition as being, hard to work with, incompetent, timid, just a junior, alcoholic, suicidal, untrustworthy because of the town they grew up in, etc. They also do their best to appear “kind”, by shouting everyone drinks on a Friday night, in the hopes friendship can be bought, and so that business conversations can be induced to be agreeable.

Above is an ancient hieroglyph of a shield. It represents my advice to you.

My humble advice to the young kiddos, probies, and interns, out there?

Understand the behavioural psychological dynamics. If you have an overly kind boss, it is because they are compensating for their incompentencies. They will freeload from you. They will ask you for too many favours. You will be doing their job for them, without compensation.

Understand corporate finance, and justify your boss’s toxic manipulating behaviour as a multi-million dollar loss on a spreadsheet. Show this on a spread sheet. Book a secret meeting with the CFO. Make it count. HR meetings are for pussies. HR will just follow industry standard, an internal mediation with compromise. This essentially means you are educating your boss whose salary is twice the size as yours.

Line up a job interview with your company’s competitor. Be truthful. Do not reward freeloaders who reward freeloaders. Do not save the grace of freeloaders. Just be truthful, without exaggeration, but with separation between what you saw with your eyes and ears, VS just your speculation based on inferred behavioural psychology.

Be willing to be jobless for many years, and start your own business. You may need to ditch your passport and immigrate to a country that is mentally on your side. Every country has subcultures. Identify yours.

Above represents your supply and demand. You can pick your nose, but you cannot pick your country.

This story, was my beginning.

It should not be yours.

Use my knowledge to resist a manipulated environment.

Immigrate to a country that does not abuse power and attack their own kind. Choose a country where your enemy cannot survive.

You may need an organization like Amnesty International, to help you immigrate if your situation involves very good liars facilitated with technology.
