The Boss advice

The meeting was on peak. The boss Lion was in full flow. He was teaching about the use of the latest technology in day to day work. For this, he showed a slide. This slide had pictures of Pagers, landline phone, audio cassette and other things like these. He wanted to say that as these instruments became extinct because of not updating timely as the employee using old methods became jobless. The boss lion left an impression in the meeting.

Next day was the second day of the meeting. Boss lion continued the same tone the second day. He adviced and warned simultaneously to each to update themselves timely. The third day was the last day of the meeting. Marketing, performance and efforts were to analyse on this day. The boss lion began to annoy as soon as the marketing session started. His anger reached to peak when the performance session started. His patience was over when the efforts session started. He roared and said, "I observe that peoples are not serious. They have forgotten their early days. How did they work when they needed a job badly?" He instructed that everyone should work like their early days. Each one should focus on work despite concentrating on social media, mobiles and other distracting things. "Any Doubts?" The boss lion roared again. The fox raised her hand to asked something. "So, you have a problem. I know that only you have the problem." The boss lion said. "Ask!" "Sir! Should we follow old methods or update ourselves with new technologies?" The fox asked. The boss lion stared her angrily. The fox got her answer. Moral of the story: It doesn't matter whether you are old fashioned or up to date. You will get appreciation or not depends on the boss mood.
