The Lion, the Bitch, and the Workshop

[kathrynrose]

"It depends."

Those two words are a big part of why I don't fit into the corporate structure. They say they want people who are resourceful and creative, but they oh-so-very-much do not

you mean nobody in that room would have grabbed their phone and started recording video of the lion coming through the door? because that's what I would do. while sitting very, very still!

any lion walking through a 4th floor office building door, has met humans already and is probably at least half-tame. :) and cats are capricious anyway; they do not invariably attack. you just never know if they're going to or not. except that acting like prey increases the odds.

To be fair, this was a number of years ago, before smart phones, so the video option was not available. :P

ah, well, that does make more sense. my other answer would be, wait to see what comes after the lion. like, its handler?

[kathrynrose]

Well, seee... No more leadership conferences for you!

You (or this character) have the same "authority issues" as one of my old bosses described me of having. I always countered with a- "Why, because I won't accept -That's the way we've always done it! - for an answer?"

There should be more (responsible) non-conformists. They think for themselves.
Hugs and peace~~~

Hugs. It's totally me. Most of my entries are non-fiction. Any time I write fiction I tag it. :)

[unmowngrass]

This is great! You and me both!

[kathrynrose]

:)

Good company.

Ha!This was FUNtastic. I really like the voice here and it made me *smile* quite a few times. Well done! I guess you achieved the goal of never being invited to the leadership meeting again and writing a great entry about it as well ;)

That title. I sat here giggling trying to imagine what the rest of the piece would be, and then it lived up to that exactly. Whee! I've heard stories from friends with more corporate jobs of similar inanities. Also I'd probably stay still just trying to figure out how the lion got there.
