Bad Management

image

From the shop window, the Manager peers out

His pride upon the floor

Watching all his little human Money Slaves hustle about

Doing their tasks, their jobs.

The Manager looks at his hand.

A hand, that in a former life, a former existence, would have

held some mighty whip.

The Manager yearns, more like wishes in a fantasy, to use a

whip on these slacker human money slaves. Parasites in his

mind, that just fill his company floor.

The Manager, looking at the ceiling, closes his eyes and

takes a deep breath.

The air fills his lungs, like a sink fills with water.

Slowly he lowers his head, his eyes flash open in a

psychotic fashion as he exhales.

The Manager turns on his heel like a well-trained Nazi SS

officer. Eloquently walking over to his phone.

Extends his arm, then retracts it, then extends it again.

Methodically, his thumb, index,

middle and ring fingers grasp the receiver.

While his pinky pushes the intercom.

Placing the receiver up to his ear, his mouth

speaking in an ultimate tone it’s been well practiced.

No “um” in his vocal cords.

"Bob Smith, to the Managers office!"

The Manager slams the phone down then pushes play on his

CD player.  Music blares through the speakers.

The Manager triumphantly returning to the window

his arm raises, looking at his Rolex that the company gave

him. The clock tic tocs away!

A fat balding man, wearing cheap fat

man slacks, hustles through the plant.

Bob Smith, sweating profusely, running hard!

The Manager, watching, with anticipation.

As Bob Smith is running.

A young geeky kid, with his hat on backwards,

wearing safety glasses. Operating a motorized pallet jack,

moving a pallet of parts.

Seeing all, like a god from the heavens, The Manager

eyes beholding his watch, sees all.

Marking the time, then lets his hands

rest on the window glass.

As he agitatedly awaits.

A Secretary walks into the office.

"Sir?"

The Manager does not speak, he doesn’t need to, just raises

his hand to silence her! He doesn't want to listen, nothing is

more important, he is watching his fat supervisor run.

The Secretary rolls her eyes, then exits the

office.

Bob Smith moving fast, hustles his fat ass hard

Towards the Manager's office.

The Manager looks closer.

The young man moves the motorized

pallet jacket into the alley way.

The Manager with sheer excitement seeing all shouts out!

“KABOOM, CRASH, SMASH, YES that is what I like to see!”

Bob Smith crashes into the pallet of parts sending him head

over heels.

The Manager puts his hands in the air as if his

favorite team just scored some important point in a game.

Bob Smith's fat body bounces off the ground like a rubber

ball, he skids across the epoxy painted shop floor that’s

clean enough to eat off.

The young man in a state of shock puts

His hands on his mouth

Attempting to stop the instant laughter.

Bob Smith quickly gets off the floor, limping his way towards

The Managers office.  An entire shop floor is in laughter.

The Manager, just shakes his head, peers at his watch,

then frowns.

Bob Smith limping, attempts to hustle through a door, down

a hall then up a flight of stairs.

Blowing through another office door that states,

Managers Office. The dark-haired secretary just shakes her

Head. The Manager is looking out the window as an out of

breath Bob Smith enters

The Manager turns his head slowly, looking at Bob in utter

disgust.

Bob Smith, in his fat man shirt that is slightly

torn, slightly tattered. Sweat drips off his brow,

attempting to talk as he composes himself.

"You needed me... Sir Manager?"

The Manager looks at his watch, then his eyes lock with Bob

Smiths as he shakes his head.

The Manager walks to his desk, tapping the pause button on

his CD Player.  Then meticulously addresses Bob.

"Bob, you know what I see on the floor?"

Bob Smith looks at the Manager with uncertainty.

"People working hard, Sir Manager."

The Manager takes a drink of his coffee.

Bobs Smith's mouth dry from running. 

He is wanting with thirst.

“Lack of 100 percent productivity Bob, that’s what I see!”

The Manager takes another drink,

he savors the liquid knowing

Bob is in need for he thirsts.

The Manager laughs then sets the coffee on his desk.

"MMMMMM, MMMMMM, MMMMM! That is some damn

good coffee!"

The Manager, looking at Bob.

“You ever have this Brand X?”

Bob anticipating that the Manager is going to give him a cup!

“No I haven’t, it smells delicious though!”

The Manager grimaces a bit.

“Great, you should go to Blue Deli when you are not

working, treat yourself to some of this, it’s absolutely

delicious. Maybe, also have one of them donuts, god only

knows you’re never going to lose that belly, lard ass.”

Bob starts to talk but the Manager over powers him!

"It took you over five minutes to get up here, do you

think that is acceptable?"

Bob Smith looks at the Manager confused.

"Sir Manager, I think that I got up here in a proper

amount of time."

The Manager looks at Bob in disgust.

"Bob you’re thinking again, we had a talk about this once, do we need to have a talk again?”

Bob shakes his head for no

The Manager cracks a smirk

“No, is exactly right! The correct response is, you are

sorry you weren’t instantly here the moment I called for

you! Gosh, look at you, you’re sweating like a stuffed

pig in an oven, just looking at you makes me want to

shower.”

The Manager sniffing the air as he walks near Bob.

“What is that, do you smell that, that god awful smell?”

Bob sniffing the air

“I don’t smell anything.”

The Manager sniffs around Bob

“It’s you, what is that you’re wearing?”

Bob nervously shakes his head

“I have a cologne on that my wife bought for Christmas, is that what you’re smelling?”

The Manager sniffs again

“Bob, you smell like shit, don’t ever wear that garbage to work again or I’ll fire you.”

The Manager walks towards the window

peering out at the disaster.

"I'm losing 15 percent of productivity Bob! 15 PERCENT!! Do

you have any idea, any possible knowledge on how that

reflects on my bonus?"

Bob shakes his head for no

“It’s probably not good, sir Manager!”

The Manager looks at Bob

“Not good is right! Do you know why it’s not good?”

Bob scratches his head

“Your Managers don’t seem to like it?”

The Manager shakes his head in disgust.

"No, tubby, my numbers are still good because I am above

80% effective, it’s not good because my bonus pays out

double at 95% effective. If I don’t hit 95% effective,

then my fucking Princess of a wife doesn’t get her trip

to the Bahamas.  Not good, Bob, as I’ll be forced to listen

to her stupid ass bitch all year long! Also, not good

because this year, I want to buy myself a new corvette.

Guess who is starting to cost me this desire, this WANT,

this.... NEED?"

Bob fixes his shirt.

"The employees not hitting their targeted numbers?"

The Manager peers at Bob with hard intent.

"No, NO! You are, dumb shit!!

Because your leadership sucks a soft

cock, you are a damn prom queen when I need a tiger

roaming free, wanting to KILL, to EAT! You don’t seem to

have what it takes to really motivate, to really bust

these cock sucker’s balls down there, getting them to

work. Hell, I mean look at that dumb fuck running the

pallet jack, for an hour, for a fucking hour he has been

doing the same fucking thing. Why is he even here?

One Hour, Bob, he’s costing me a percentage! He

should be fired!"

The Manager walks up to Bob, eyeballing his shirt, then starts

to fix his collar.

"Look at you, a fat, worn out slob that stinks, with- wait! Is this

some egg from breakfast?"

Bob looks down at his shirt. The Manager flicks Bob in the

face for looking down.

"See, you don't even know if you spilled egg on yourself

or not, fucking pathetic."

Bob Smith looks down.

"I'm trying, sir Manager."

The Manager looks at Bob

then walks back over to the window

examining the shop floor.

"Trying, trying, here is trying! I have a wife that tries

to be a worthwhile investment of some part of importance.

Yet, without action, is just as useless now as she was the

first day that I met her."

Bob Smith looks at the Manager in awe and shock.

"But....why did you marry her then?"

The Manager with a grin, looks at Bob intently.

"I’m glad you asked Bob, the only value a woman has is a pussy!

Something I happen to like. I have a great talent to

find what I need in useless people like yourself.

Her mom looked good at an older age

so, I figured, she would too and she does!

She is in the gym every day and I wouldn’t have it

any other way!  Don’t want to be married to some lard ass

after all, god, could you imagine

the financial hit I would take if

I had to divorce someone like that!"

The Manager looks at Bob

“You know what I mean?”

Bob frowns, The Manager cracks a half smile.

"Of course, you don’t! You see, you're about that damn

useless too, it’s just too bad you don’t have a pussy

Bob, then perhaps, just maybe I could get something

satisfactory from you. In fact, the only reason you're

even still a supervisor is because you want to be me. I

respect that! If everyone was me

the world would be a much richer place."

Bob looks at the ground. The Manager looks out the window.

"Bob, I want you to go down to that shop floor. I want

your fat, gelatinous ass to crack a whip! I want the

fear of me in these people. I want them to wet

themselves when I walk down there. I want their heads to

hang low! I want my 95 PERCENTILE and I want it

yesterday!”

Bob looks at the Manager with some fictitious smile. The

Manager looks at Bob squarely.

“What is so funny, did I tell you to smile?”

Bob quickly ditches the smile.

“No sir, Manger!”

The Manager looks out the window!

“Great, now fire that fucking freak idiot running the

pallet jack wasting my percentage. The next time you're

summoned to my office, I want you here in three minutes,

not five. Now, get the hell out of my site you

repulsive pile of lard."

Bob stands there numb from the mental abuse

The Manager shouts out.

"MOVE IT, LARD ASS!"

Bob Smith takes off running while the Manager walks to the

window to see the new form of motivation that will be

expressed across the shop floor.

The Manager examines his greatness, how his personal

motivation can move a fat mountain

as he watches an enraged

Bob Smith that is now releasing an onslaught of shouts and

screams across the shop floor. A young man, just one of the

money slaves with his hat on backwards wearing some geeky

safety glasses in a turquoise shirt has just been fired.

The human Money Slaves move faster as Supervisor Bob

tries to get every sweaty inch of work out of them that the

Manager has ordered. Its money over human life!

It’s a corvette, make it a convertible!

VROOOM, VROOOM
