Aspirations

Individuals, once they join an organization have an ambition that they want to reach the top echelons of the organization they belong to. Well, yes, baring a few exceptions, who are content with what they do and do not want to rise into the upper echelons, the so called corridors of power. They are the blessed ones. Truth has dawned upon them, that in this game, the prince is but a pauper!!!

Most of us think that once we get the designation of a supervisor, we are all set to arrive in the big bad corporate world.

Just then, we hear a big bell DINGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We still report to another person, who happens to be our supervisor. Hence, the arrival of "The Person" into the arena gets delayed by some period. Thus begins the quest for ascent into the next level of the hierarchy. The concerned individual thinks that the moment he/she goes to the next level, this bigger, meaner, smarter individual would redefine the way things work. Uh oh, did we hear the big bell again???

The answer is yes. Unfortunately, more often than not, the individual meets another bigger, meaner, smarter person awaiting the new jackass!!!

For those who go on to the top positions of an organization, they end up being answerable to the share holders. One of these share holders could in fact be an employee of the same organization.

My take being that this cycle has no end!!! No body is truly king!!!!

Of course there are exceptions, royalty for that matter is such a parasitic institution.
