The Big Boss
I caught a glimpse of our lady boss today. There are several people who have warned me about her. They all said she is mean-hearted.
At work, I stepped out of my station to get hot water for my cup of coffee. Unfortunately, the container was empty. And then this middle-aged lady smiled at me and noted that I wasn't able to get any drinking water. She looked so pleasant that I thought that my fellow workers were exaggerating. That lady was far from being mean. She was too friendly to be a horrible person.
And so, when I went in, I told my co-worker that I finally saw the big boss. She asked me what she looked like. And I told her she looks like a pleasant old lady. She shared what I told her to another person and they both laughed. They found it funny that I found the boss old. And then just when we were about to get back to work, there was this short-haired, barely chic-looking, scowling woman who was wearing something you would see in a club - black and shiny silver.
Goodness. I know how Korean fashion are but that outfit is just inappropriate (especially for a weather like this). They have been telling us to look professional everyday at work. They demand that we wear slacks five days a week. And now, here we have our big boss who has become an eye sore in the office grounds.
Anyway, I wouldn't be this mean about an outfit if she had a smile on her face instead of a scowl when she looked at me. All I can think of was "What was the problem?" and "What did I do wrong?".
I learned that she was the one who ordered to turn off the air conditioning from time to time. That really pissed me off. How can we work inside a really warm office? It's just too much. It's because I used to work in an office where management sees to it that their employees work in humane condition. Letting us work in a hot environment in the summer season is really sadistic of that woman. I secretly hope the air-conditioning in her office breaks down.
Now, I won't wonder why people in that office cannot say anything about her. Well, I truly hope my first impression won't last that long because it is hard for me to think that I work for someone like her.

So who was the old lady you first saw? =p
ReplyDeleteAnywho, one of the managers in my past company was bitchy like that. And that's even to her own immediate underlings. Tsk.
