“He survives on the happiness that he sucks out of your life.”
He can not help it, as he has been made that way by the creator. The wiring in his brain asks him to do things which a normal human being wouldn’t even consider- He asks you to work hard, while giving you a tough task in an impossible timeline. Once you have done the hard ( and smart) work, this vampire takes over. Now, he lets the whole world know that it was in fact him who made this impossible thing possible. If he even makes a passing reference abut you, you must feel very lucky. For the vampire, it is all about I, me and myself. Don’t believe me? OK, just count the number of times he says ‘I’ in ten sentences he speaks.
“He doesn’t exist in the world, the world exists for him.”
He is the Count Dracula- the Master Vampire, so there must be minions around him. The minions have their minds connected with their master, who commands them. With time, the minions forget completely that their minds can work independently as well. If you are a normal human being and a decent worker, the Vampire will come for you. The minions must be keeping a watch on you.
He is all about controlling. If you are independent minded, he has few tricks up his sleeves. The easiest thing is to give you tasks without assigning resources for it.
He is an alpha male, or at least tries to be. The HR people call him a type A personality. So, if you are one handsome popular guy with a straight back, watch out for the blood sucker to make a silent but crippling attack, like an assignment for six months at a God forsaken place. How dare you be popular among the ladies! Huh!
He is a showman. To be honest, he is good in it, a real method actor. He is capable of playing so many roles when facing his own boss, like-
That he is so devoted to work;
That he exists for the organization;
And, how he is trying hard to realize his boss’ vision;
His other performances take place infront of his subordinates, where he would clearly convey –
That he owns you;
That it is because of him, the organization is still standing;
That he has sacrificed so much for the organization.
He is your boss, so it is his right to find out complicated solution, even if you have a simpler alternative. If he accepts your simple solution, it will prove his uselessness to the world, which he understands quite well.
So, if you have a vampire boss, stay safe, and watch your back.
