Man throws shoe at supervisor for bad appraisal

When Muntadhar al-Zaidi threw his infamous Size 10 shoe, he unwittingly popularized a new form of civil disobedience. This form of political protest has resonated around the world. And now, it has entered the corporate world. All thanks to Johnny Gaddar.

Johnny Gaddar was a happy go lucky corporate lackey, who did anything to keep his boss happy and the good appraisals rolling in. His motto in life was naukri aur chokri. But when his boss sat down with him to discuss a less than satisfactory appraisal, Johnny lost his cool. He could not believe that his hypocritical boss would have the gall to tell him he did not perform, with a straight face. Ten minutes into the conversation, Johnny snapped. He wanted to cry, but didn't want to give his boss the pleasure of seeing him cry. In a flash, he removed his Size 11 shoes and let loose at his boss. The sweet sound of leather smacking his bald forehead was so cathartic for Johnny that he wanted to do it again. By the time, he got his other shoe off, his boss had fled the conference room and was running down the aisle. Seeing this scene unfold before them, other co-workers too took aim at the boss. In fact, Jasmine's six-inch stilettos drew first blood.

Within one hour, word of this incredible happenstance, spread like wildfire across the corporate world. Such scenes were beginning to get replicated across the world. Someone shot a re-enactment of this on their mobile phone and put it up on youtube. The video, had 6 million hits in 6 hours. The Security team in Johnny's office immediately swung into action to confiscate footwear. As you can see, they literally ended with a mountain of shoes.

Group9 Security Head, John Rambo (no relation to Johnny) said, "We had deployed highly qualified security personnel for our operations, as we believed that these corporates were vulnerable to terrorist attacks. In fact many of our personnel are trained commandos. But we did not figure that the biggest terror would come from within."

A senior industry analyst quipped that security agencies like Group9 are seeing windfall profits by charging a bomb for putting up extra overweights chowkidars and putting up cheap mosquito net partitions in conference rooms to protect against shoe-throwers. "A new multi-billion dollar industry has opened overnight, all thanks to stupid bosses!"
