For those of you who left their organizations thinking you’d finally escaped the predatory clutches of your blood-sucking, despicable, horrendous boss who was responsible for your delayed marriage, shirking social-circle, unforthcoming future kids, never leaving backaches and larger than life headaches. For those who had a longer after party after the farewell of your boss in case he left for better prospects. Imagine for a second, I know it’s just a possibility but none the less still a possibility that you find yourself face to face with him. No I’m not talking of his avatar or replica but him in flesh and blood. I’m not talking about unfortunately bumping into him in a supermarket or outside a movie theater but him as your next boss in the next organization or worst still he joins back the same old organization he left for better prospects. Wooo!! Scary I know. Don’t shun the idea already, after all anything’s possible!
Now, now I know you must be going through all the karma theories which you have been subjected to over a long period by various babas and devis whom you might or might not readily admit to worshipping. Despite the first reaction to fight distress by choosing flight over fight, you must come up with a viable plan to survive. So here are the tips proven to work.
- Don’t forget to say hi!
Exchanging pleasantries sure go a long way. I mean that’s the first rule right? So much for the latest yoga aasan you had been practicing religiously, you heart would be racing faster than a supersonic engine. Just breathe. Phoooww and say Hi with the intonation that emits a notion of pleasant surprise.
- Know your enemy and his new title
Now that you’ve been past the awkward moment of saying hi, rush in to check with the HR what would be his current role. Chanakya emphasized it and so will I, know your enemies better than you know your friends. It always pays if you have a few friends in the HR department. It’s highly possible you would not be directly reporting into him. In case you are, just start praying a little more profusely – it’s a clear case of past life regression gripping you!
- Believe in change, it just might have happened
Give the guy a legitimate chance. I mean think about it for a moment he might just have been through a sade-saati or a dhiya himself and that would have taught him to be a better human being. If not, tough luck get ready for your own sade-sati and tighten up to face the fresh assault.
- Enroll into the latest fad for de-stressing whatever that may be
Be it yoga or a latest corporate course by a self-styled baba who claims his five day course can teach you how to manage your emotions better and face the life and it’s said difficulties with ease. Go for it!! After all he might just open your inner eye and you might just see how transcendental all of it actually is.
- Go for the next job
If the bugger is still at your boots, it’s a clear case of his compulsive obsessive behavior to turn your life into a living hell. Before all hell officially breaks loose, get a grip on your life and get a new job or a new degree or look for angel investors to fund your new startup. Whatever you do just get away a little more effective this time.
