The (entire) corporate world's a Jingle; you've got to kiss-and-tale where it FLIRTS! "I've been so involved in client meetings" - really? we shall review year-end numbers to see if these meetings indeed paid off (!); "I've been travelling continuously and have been in and out of office for more than six months now" - are you feeling snappy or sad ?(!) ; "I've a client presentation lined up", - er, so we aren't the only ones to in queue to "fear" your intelligence, huh; "I was wide awake into the night working on a client proposal" - hope you created only that what will sell (!); "I have been working on weekends" – needless to say, morning blues aren’t confined to Monday alone; “I have not taken vacation leave for more than a year now” – didn’t we hear you say about travelling for more than six months, please check your travel and stay bills (!); “I’ve been busy attending a 5-day residential leadership forum at a 7-star hotel with no access to emails and hence couldn’t reply any earlier” – didn’t you attend one only last year and yet another the year before previous? By the way, was this leadership forum any different from the previous two experiences where you shared key takeaways in terms of an olympic-size swimming pool, a variety of mouth-watering food, unlimited alcohol in the evenings and a world-class customer service offered by the 7-star hotel; do you think after the forum, the organization was able to bring home a leader?! Huh?!
