The Ghadiyali Chomu Master and His Char Bandar-numa Chamchas

This is the story of the ghadiyali chomu master SV.

And his chomu harkatein.

And, also, of his char bandar-numa chamchas - KM, ST, PP, SR.

SV is short, stodgy and short-sighted.

His only achievement till date is that he has created and cultivated char bandar-numa chamchas.

And if you were to poke SV a little bit, he would howl and growl and say, "the char bandar-numa chamchas only matter to me, let others go to hell".

Despite the absurdity of the whole situation, the despicable chomu master SV continues with more of the same absurdities that make him even more despicable.

He is fond of or rather besieged of his own false image and hence indulges in showing off.

He would utter all the right keywords and do all the symbolic stuff to appear as a genuine and caring person.

However, on scratching the surface, the real object behind the false image comes out.

He is the opposite of all what one would consider as fair, transparent and genuine.

He talks of ethics and empowerment but does all kinds of absurd things like:

  • Suggesting that you write falsehood in e-mails to customers and vendors
    • Facts are misrepresented or blatantly modified in the name of negotiation
    • Data and information are twisted maliciously to create fake impressions
  • Dropping/parachuting a trainee into your team without discussing first with you.
    • Competency and fitment aspect is bulldozed to the ground.
    • The trainee has no background other than her connection with the chomu master.
  • Indulging in initiatives only for symbolic reasons.
    • Initiatives are started without wider consultation and stakeholder involvement
    • The people with no real work are made to drive such initiatives to make them relevant
  • Humiliating competent professionals through "chomu harkatein"
    • You get emails like "copy my chamcha" or "as advised keep my chamcha in the loop"
    • Activities in your area are assigned to a chamcha to disempower you
The companies that are managed by a chomu master also become chomu companies.

They are what one can call as a "chotu company" which will remain like that forever.

The reason is not hard to see.

The chomu master and his char bandar-numa chamchas want to retain complete control.

To hell with empowerment.

Chomu master is a con artist.

Employee empowerment is a good term to hear but means nothing in such organizations.

If you work in such a company, be ready to embrace absurdities.

You will be humiliated often.

Yes, that's right.

Humiliated and dis-empowered.

While you are going through all this non-sense, you must learn to enjoy all this from a distance too.

Keep laughing at the ghadiyali chomu master.

Keep laughing at the char bandar-numa chamchas.

Just keep laughing.

After all you are getting entertainment for free from the chomu master and his char bandar-numa chamchas.

Don't take them seriously at all.

Don't become serious yourself too.

Just keep laughing.

And laughing.

And laughing.
