In
our country, employees make newer and newer excuses to ask for leave. When one
such employee asked for leave for the treatment of his ‘piles’ the boss got so
much suspicious that he asked the employee to ‘Give proof of piles’ Now the
boss must have asked for medical papers. By then employee didn’t have adequate
and conclusive medical papers as he was going for consulting the Doctor for the
first time for his long-standing problem. Instead, he sent the photo of his
asshole as annexure with his leave application.
Now
it was the turn of the boss to hang his head. He was glancing at the leave
application then another glance at the HD photograph. Once I had asked for
Death certificate from an employee who overstayed his leave on the pretext that
his grandpa expired hence, he had to stay back for last rites. I knew this guy
was in the habit of overstaying beyond his sanctioned leave. The employee union
guys came to me, ‘Sir! he is already grieving his grandpa’s demise and you are
asking for death certificate how insensitive of you! Death may be universal
phenomenon but in remote village there is no concept of Death certificate’
History
is witness that for obtaining leave from workplace people have been giving
unique reasons. Be it school, office or factory. These excuses are found dime a
dozen during wedding/harvesting season. It is well-known that employees go to
their native place and then keep extending their leave on one or the other
bizarre pretext. about those who work abroad that they have to go to the
village and extend the leave. Many people who do small menial jobs/domestic
jobs do not feel like returning to workplace until their last penny is spent
and they are compelled to borrow money for return fare. Nowadays, we have
become so much dependent on them. Gone are the days when they were dependent on
us. Now at least in cities, it is other way round. These days both have become
so rare- good husbands and good domestic helps.
When
a Babu goes to his ‘native’ (official term for home state/village since British
times) Once gone to native place they seldom come on due date. When they come
late by few weeks, they have tales to tell, tales’ stranger than fiction. Like
once he told how he became a victim of cold drink laced with mild poison, once
unconscious they (the gang) made good with his wrist watch, wallet and mobile
phone. He could not inform office as the duplicate sim takes time. When an
employee was sent to his home address with a charge sheet, "As soon as I
rang the doorbell a dreaded dog came out and pounced upon me. I ran for my
life. I only know how I saved myself. Don't send me to places where hungry
hunting dogs are waiting"
So,
when the boss asked for proof of his piles, he was completely aghast and
attached the photo of his asshole. He requested boss to have a good look and
keep gazing till convinced of piles. The only problem is how on earth could
boss recognize and be sure that this is a photograph of the asshole of this
employee only? High time the photograph is got attested by a Gazetted officer,
without which the photo cannot be accepted.
