To my 2 to 3 (depending on the internet speed) avid readers this one’s for you...
We all know about butt kissers, those we normally call here as the straw; the S; the sipsip; the higop; the supsup; the sagupsup or the ngulngul. A lot has been written and even movies made about them, usually, they turn out as the anti-hero. Still they exist and usually the ending is not like in the movies wherein the hero gets his/her revenge. In fact they appear to reap the benefits of their endeavors. That has been the case here in our company. As I mentioned before there has been a recent reorganization in the office. Certain people have been promoted to higher (though not necessarily better) positions. In our team alone there were 5 people who were promoted and recently (through the office grapevine of course) there will be another one added. All of these people have one thing in common, well, with the exception of one, they have all kissed the butt of our “big boss”. Okay don’t take that literally it’s an ugly picture. But this is the truth. Previous events have made me conclude this observation. If you really want to be known around here there are two things you can do – one, create a scandal or two kiss big bosses’ butts. I have worked here for three years and still the big boss doesn’t remember my name. We are not that big a project before so I don’t think it’s because there were a lot of employees that she can’t recall my name. It’s funny really, because in high school there wasn’t what you would call an “in” group that was just in the movies. Our motto in school was “To each their own”. Here in the office, it’s different. This said group of people believe themselves to be the “in” crowd since they’re literally close to the bosses. I don’t mind this. In fact, I feel pity for these people because they get talked about and that’s not even in a good way. Their lives get criticized all because they have this psychological need to be noticed. This need for attention is manifested by their compulsive behavior to kiss butts. Yup, I did learn something from my Psychology class 150 (Behavioral Psychology). I think we should empathize with these kinds of people. They have no idea of what they are. So I suggest that in order to help them we only have one thing to do and that is to never do our jobs too well. Are you crazy? It’s not you who’ll be taking the credit but them. Hey they should earn their keep after all they are the ones who’re getting the big money. As for the bosses out there who get their thrills by others kissing their butts, I recommend that you see a doctor. You also need help. It’s not good to get your butt licked by a lot of people – you never know where that tongue came from.
