THE RULES OF THE GAME

By Vijay Kumar

1. THE BOSS always makes THE RULES.
2. I cannot possibly know all THE RULES.
3. If THE BOSS suspects that I know all THE RULES, he must immediately change some of THE RULES.
4. THE BOSS is never wrong.
5. If it appears THE BOSS is wrong, it is because of a flagrant misunderstanding caused by something I did or said wrong.
6. If Rule 5 applies, I must apologize immediately for causing the misunderstanding.
7. THE BOSS has every right to be angry or upset at any time.
8. I must remain calm at all times.
9. At all times, what is important is what THE BOSS meant, not what he said.
