Because a Problem Moaned About is a Problem Halved.

Time to See the Light


I stumbled across this article recently and it got me thinking. Why do people actually let this kind of behaviour keep going? I personally have never experienced or seen workplace bullying but it seems to be common sense to nip it in the bud a.s.a.p. But what if it is your boss, the one person you could usually complain too, who is the bully. Time to make their life a living hell.

There are a few ways you can get back at someone who sees it as their role in life to make yours miserable. However, in this situation, laxatives in their coffee and superglue on the earpiece of their phone is unlikely to achieve the desired effect. So what can you do? Easy, time for a religious conversion. This way, as soon as someone treats you in a way that you feel the remotest bit undesirable then you can play the religious discrimination card, your boss would think twice about giving you shit if he thought he could end up on the front page of the tabloids labeled as some kind of bigot. It will also improve your working conditions in other ways. Choose a relatively well known but still fairly minor religion such as Buddhism and you are looking at a good number of days off for 'religious holidays'. How many holidays does a Buddhist have? I have no idea and I bet your boss doesn't either. He says no to the time off, where's that number for The Sun again? One of the few bonuses of a PC-gone-mad country like this is that people are absolutely terrified of offending/oppressing others so think big, small and destructive pranks are always fun but useless in a situation like this, time to head of to the temple of your choice and get worshiping. Due to the sheer number of religions around there is also ample opportunity for multiple conversions so always feel free to chop and change as necessity dictates, if anyone tries to pull you up on this and accuses you of faking your beliefs then simply state that you suffer from ADHD and have a syndrome that makes it impossible for you to be decisive, then vocally complain about how you are being persecuted for having this disability as well as your beliefs being mocked. With a bit of creativity you can make this run and run.
