The World is a Vampire

Once upon a time, like all naïve undergraduates, I wanted very badly to be a part of Corporate America and live a high flying life….Now, 2 years down the road, all I can say to people like that is:

Welcome to the Jungle.

The corporate world is a vampire, full of blood suckers everywhere you go. I've attempted to categorize these suckers:

- Credit-taker-cum-finger-pointer: especially prominent at the top levels; that's how they 'shine' and get there; they're seemingly the perfectionist who has never made a single mistake in his/her career.

- Revenge-takers: these are the brainless fools who attack senselessly to make others look bad and always have the last say for his/her own deluded satisfaction; they are so unrelentless in their pursuit for revenge that they would be sending you daily nasty attacking emails just to make your life miserable; word of advice, keep these for you never know when you may need them.

- Leeches: they stick to their assumed 'rising stars' of the company and will be so sweet to you if you are one; of course, they would forget about you instantly or turn against you the moment you are out of favor with the big boys.

- Spies: watch out for these, everything you say or do will spread to places far beyond your imagination; these are the useless wimps who suffer from a serious attack of job insecurity; turning into spies gave them the false sense of security; a word to sum these fools up: pathetic.

Of course this list is not comprehensive; but if you work in a huge corporate firm, you can surely find these people lurking around the office.

Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in the cage.
