15th October 2006
This update of the P-man saga was brought to us by a valuable member of the Punjabi community who is also interested in weeding out this meddling mismanager.
The boss has left for an overseas course for 2 months. He is due back only end November. So, while he was away, he has diverted all his internal e-mail to the P-Man as he is the next highest ranking dude in the office. There are only 3 in the office. Now, P-Man is the acting boss. But act like a boss he doesn't.
Every single day, the P-Man logs on at home and floods my boss's Yahoo mail account with queries on how to handle this and how to do that and what to say to whom. As can be seen, being a leader is just not his cup of tea.
Recently however a highly confidential e-mail landed in the P-Man's account due to it being forwarded from my boss's dormant account. This e-mail was actually regarding promotion and ranking and would list the estimated potential and current performance indicator of the P-Man. Needless to say, the P-Man, King of Rules and Regulations still double clicked and broke a fundamental "confidentiality" law. Looks like to him, the rules can be bent if it suits his selfish needs.
The P-Man thus read that he was ranked at a level of P4. This is the lowest level u can hit, the best being P1. P-Man's expression was priceless. P-Man's reaction was to blame the previous boss for evaluating his performance badly and moaning about his plight.
P-Man still has 3 years left till he retires and he has zero chance of being promoted to a higher rank. Let us pray that he chooses voluntary early retirement. Though, that is not a very likely option because he has no chance in hell in getting this kinda money in the corporate world.

Maybe your boss purposely had that emIl sent to Pman, whom he knew will open it, and see his sorry grade; therefore pushing him to the inevitable decision i.e. voluntary early retirement?
Just a thought.
