Frustration Demonstration

"I am Jack's smirking revenge."

Enter The Nak, in office, contemplating previous day's performance review with his supervisor

The Nak is dissatisfied with his performance review. He feels hot, thirsty, weary, complacent, but worst of all he feels cheated. The supervisor spoke whimsically of new hires; their unabashed zeal for their work, the challenges that they accepted and labored at, the mistakes they all made and in turn, learned from. The Nak purses his lips and tightens his jaw. He had made no mistakes since hiring on; he had never had the luxury of starting slow and learning as he went along. He had been thrown into the fire, been given tasks that 15 year veterans were unable to complete, be made to learn hardware on the fly- and he had succeeded in all aspects. Why then, did he smile and nod while the supervisor continued to vomit meaningless banter about erroneous newbies and their growing pains, seeing how none of this applied to him? Maybe because the supervisor had effectively assured that him that he had the highest "C" in the department, so to speak, and that he expected great things from him in the future. But he knows that this is nothing more than spoon-fed bullshit... a manager's acquiescence of any possible retort that his employee may be pondering.
What then is The Nak to do? He feels angry, but not defeated or beaten at all. Perhaps all the hard work, prompt completion of assignments, and courteous aid to fellow employees that he has been happy to fabricate in the past should all go by the wayside. Perhaps if the department will reward those who have done less than half the work, then The Nak should accept his evaluation and start performing to a lesser level that is conducive to said evaluation- start doing even less than half the work.
But would it not be better to continue in virtue and resilience, to put forth an effort to shine even brighter, thus forcing the swine higher up in the food chain to give him recognition? Perhaps this is the case, perhaps it is not. The Nak continues to delve into the issue at hand as he clears the documents from atop his keyboard and continues the assignment he was working on when he was called into the review, his mind still hazy, and his decision not yet made...

To be continued in real fucking life...
