Stealth; Mr Affa's Guide to The Better You

Episode: At your workplace.

Situation: You are using company's Dell Laptop to do your job in a very unfortunate day. Your Boss and your Intermediate Leader are well-known to be fierce alpha monkey in the jungle we called office. Suddenly when you try to connect some external device, you realized that your connection is somehow funny, and at the time when you are ready to disconnect the external device, the odor of a burned PCB (Primary Control Board) arouse. To make the situation even worse, you laptop automatically turned OFF!! When you try to ON the laptop, you can only see some LED blink, and it went OFF again. Dude, WTF?

Solution: You know that the laptop's motherboard is burned. You know you will have a pair of unhappy Boss, and the least that you will get is public humiliation due to quite high-pitch voices tearing up your macho figure in front of office inhabitants.

Be cool. Act like the laptop suddenly burned when you are doing your normal practice.

Anthony Robbins ( motivational speaker, writer) once said " If you want to succeed, try to remodel, remodelling is the key of success!!"

Geared up with this in mind, be calm to tell all the story you made up (make your version's story neutral) without pulling far from the human mind's logic. Your above said Bosses will make skeptical arguments, making some funny faces and try to humiliate you with first degree of intensity.

Be cool, and try to follow their gestures. If they cough before they start to speak, mimick that. If they stand straight, follow their posture. If they scratch their head and put their hands at the waist, do follow them and try to maintain your story with some degree of "What the hell happening? I also don't know?" attitude.

In most cases they will sense some degree of POWER inside of you because you are almost like them. "People who look LIKE them tend to LIKE each other". Next, the closest act that your BOSS will do is to find another BLACK SHEEP for them to blame, and please support their view as long as it will be on your side. If you can, please offer yourself to find the BLACK SHEEP and once your part is done please walk away, if you can, walk very steady like nothing happened.

You can come back to your CAGE, ops, CUBICLE, and if the BOSS call you again, come back to the REMODELLING part that we discussed earlier.

Dude, this REMODELLING stunt saved me, you could be the NEXT!!!
