Frusty's Law: The moment someone comes to you with a new demand, idea or requirement and you want to avoid dealing with it; the best way to kill the idea is to ask the person to document it with various kinds of analysis. This will surely kill his enthusiasm.

Frusty's First Job

Frusty went for his first interview and got selected for the opening. But on second thoughts he wasn't very keen to join the job as the pay was less. On hearing his concern the recruiter assured him that pay should not be a concern for him as he would get very good exposure and meet large MNCs clients in Gurgaon (India). Frusty joins the company but reality soon dawns on him. He is asked to deal with clients about which no one would have heard , 'Gai Chaap Masala', ' Baba Masala', 'Rajdhani Atta','Shah Namkeen'. He was expected to get bulk orders from them. Frusty soon encounters hi Boss and complains about the reality and how he was duped during the interview. Boss takes a hearty laugh and tells him "welcome to the corporate world, this is waht you have to do. Had I told you the truth at that time you would have never joined us."

Frusty gets trained for leadership role.

Frusty's Gyan, Moral of the Story: Being politically correct and diplomatic in all situations is always rewarded. Never show more enthusiasm and take risks to show your dedication to the organization. Be like a tortoise with all organs withdrawn within the protective shell. do not expose yourself unnecessarily. Do not ever take a stance and never be on the wrong side of the fence.
The Story in words for those who cannot see the picture:
Bossy to Frusty in a Leaderhip training program: The next 3 days of the training we will only be talking about what you should not be doing in this organization to grow to a leadership position. What you do doesn't matter to us whether you do the right things or not.

Frusty protecting Board Members
Somebody else’s woes can be exploited for your own benefit. Pakistan might be reeling under the new threat of terrorists and common man may be affected (like a couple of policeman died in the attack.) But it doesn't stop the politicians and other people to exploit the situation for their own benefit.
Moral of the Story: Everything is fair in love, war and corporate politics.

The story in words for those who cannot see the picture.

Bossy to Frusty: I don't want the shareholders to vote against the present Board Members in the next Annual General Meeting (AGM).

Frusty to Bossy: Why don't you orgnanize the next AGM in Gaddafi Stadium in Pakistan. This will ensure that no shareholder turns up to vote against the Board Members.
