Your Friendly Philosopher & Guide

There could be innumerous times when you thought about typing your resignation, throwing the same on your boss’s face and walk off the same day out of your office with pride. But then who wins the battle? Your Boss! And never let that happen.

There is another funda you need to get deep into your mind – when you join a Corporate Company, you don’t join for individuals. You don’t join a company because Mr Saxena is the CEO of the company or Mr Malhotra is the Vice President. You join a company for its brand value. And the positions people occupy are destined to be replaced by different people at different times – ‘impermanence’ being the rule of the life.

Not all succeed in pleasing their boss, and get a decent hike or a promotion. But then try not to go the extent of hating your job just because your energy doesn’t match with someone whose luck got him where he is.

Here are few tips to love your job even when you hate your boss…

TIP 1

It might sound a bit gross, but then it is one of Osho’s meditation techniques to put things right. Invest in a Hit Doll, and keep it near your footwear stand. Every day while leaving to the office, kick the doll thinking he is the person whom you are going to deal with today – your boss. You can do the same exercise while coming back from the office. You should be adept at imagining the doll as your boss and also try to kick it as hard as possible.

You can expect 2 immediate results…

1) Your relationship with your boss might improve
2) You will stop cribbing

TIP 2

This technique is similar to TIP 1, but in this case you have to be goody goody to your boss for at least one day - one day to get a profile picture of him/her. Once you get that, scan it, blow it up and paste the picture again near your footwear stand. Everyday slap the picture with a pair of old slippers. This will surely make you feel better. (This technique is called catharsis)

TIP 3

Most bosses who make your life miserable are the one’s who themselves are under tremendous pressure from the top and also the people who are a lot insecured about their own job.

Whenever they try to pass on the heat from the top management to you, start watching a movie of Jenna Jameson or Jennifer Lopez in your mind. You can always act as if you are listening, but then your boss won’t be asking you to repeat what all the crap he told you.

TIP 4

You can easily guess when you are going to get the firing. Make yourself ready and meditate on these important things -

*that your boss is made to talk what he is talking,
*that your boss is as temporary as you are in the office and also in the world
*that only insecured people yell, happy people motivate
*that you are here for money and only money

The last but not the least, whenever you are called to a room for a heated session fold you hands, clasp your fingers and keep the middle finger UP! This surely will make your boss look like a fool in your eyes – at least.
