Where is the Light?.....What Light?...Is there one...?

16th Oct. 2007 : The news hit the people late in the evening, many were surprised at the way the annoucement were made, via impersonal email. There has been talk about the 'hit' list of people who will be workforce managed but information leaks were inconclusive.

The exercise ushered in the end of the era of the former leader who left for 'better' opportunities. It was a matter of time that any trace of loyalty to the former leader will be removed. A clean sweep of the middle level managers ensured that any spark of a rebellion will be snubbed out. And in its place, defecting stooges are appointed as puppet managers.

For those unfortunate 'indispensables' left untouched this round, besides having to take on larger workload, their unhappiness is now compounded with the appointment of puppet managers whose sole role is to report to the central government anyone opposing the regime. A recent attempt by a group of 'real' workers opposing the appointment of a puppet manager was squashed by the central government ie, giving the reason that the appointment is in line and good for the company's future.

For a central government who believes vision comes from a 'higher' caste of mankind and in a system that rewards those who talked 'management', observers are predicting a collapse of the machinery. Some analysts are even saying the downfall can be before the next fiscal year is over.

Hey, this story sounds like the Last Emperor, Emperor Puyi who was once a puppet too.

hmmm.. some how the Muppet Show's theme music appears in my mind.... and seems like Kermit the frog and the famous Miss Piggy has been kicked out by the two evil old men who always sat high up on the Circles seats!

Would a 'real worker' aspire to be a puppet manager? Conversely, why be a puppet manager when you can be the puppet master? ...

Do you agree with APNN views?
