thanks for your comments. 

I would like to tell you that i am a normal diploma holder who, by sheer hard and smart work have rose to a level of a Profit Center Head of a 100cr company. By God's grace, i had Bosses who helped me from time and again and i never had a negative attitude in my career.

As far as this story is concerned, it is only in the lighter vein. Employees are Employees and EMployers are employers. Despite many a changes in the style of Business Operations in India, there are more employers (particularly where private organizations are concerned) who would prefer to deploy a policy that is cited in this story.

Even in some of the professional organizations, where the boss is confied to a coteire, such things can happen. 

I believe in the following story. perhaps you may like it

A cheetah or deer, one has to keep running as to survive!

This maybe how company policies take root;however, if one is assertive one will not get beat up try to climb the ladder. Personally, I have had some experience climbing the ladder and some one just moves the ladder from underneath my golden bannana in the sky, and I end up climbing and climbing till I reach that thing that held up the bannanas to begin with. 

I find that people don't mind one climbing the ladder if you can do the job. If one can not do the job one cannot climb the ladder. in other words if one can't climb the ladder one can't do the job. There is no try when climbing the ladder. Either one climbs the ladder or one doesn't. If one decides to climb the ladder. Besides climbing the ladder is easy. Doing the job becomes the hard part.

Many people get the thought, "I can do that job that is higher level or excutive". "that job is easy". Then they figure that it pays a whole lot more. Then they might think "Well, if it pays more than this middle level job, there must be some reason". Then they find out about the job and find that this high level job is not as easy as they thought. This is conjecture, and I am guessing. Say they become double minded and now there intentions are not clear to themselves. One part of their thought says I'll move up and I'll move up starting tommorow. By the time tommorow comes they have to concentrate on their current job or they procastrinate or better most people are lazy and come up with stupid monkey stories instead of sharpening their skills.

What I am trying to say is people only sabotage themselves. If one decides to get the better job. He'll get the job. First that person has to stop assigning blame on policy or prolice or government or their parents or friends or any single person on the earth. You're LAZY.

Flaws in your monkey Story
-------------------------------------
><Monkeys don't get arrested. I imagine they have more freedom than most men.

2) Ladders are meant for gaining height. Ladders will not LEaD one anywhere.

3) You're version of the story actually goes like this

Eight

4)You have obviously called my eight buddies "Monkeys" Insulting their image is all you have done. You forget that monkies have a soul too.

5)Since Monkey is a generally accepted term I will upgrade your version of the story to

Eight monkeyes were.

That's all you get to know. Because I know you didn't think of this story. You heard from one of you lazy Indian colleagues.

In this fabrication [really bad fabrication](i should know becasue I poured the chilly ice water on the crooks we brought into jail, still they were my buddies) 


Nobody holds you down but your're negative thinking. one pours the chilly ice water on one. except for c-tha , that one pours ice water on all--that the job c-tha has as I shoot arrows at anyone who even thinks bad about c-tha

sincerely,
The one and only Laxman--Licensed to Kill License#001
