No, its not inspired from the so called numerical movies: 300 & 7 etc.
Infact, ‘10’ is the product of a business analyst at work. Where ‘work’ refers to a curious analysis of the unique species in a professional environment. As I complete a half-century of eventful days with this breed of Profo-sapiens, I have suddenly become a firm believer of the saying: “Man is a social animal”! For every single individual here can be categorized into one of these 10, courtesy- animal kingdom…
The COW: “Yes sir, Ok sir, Thank you sir” This species is Innocence personified!
You will see him/her sitting at the desk, working day in & day out, to meet the required deadline. Never asking a question, never hurting anyone. A shy & reserved character only concerned with WORK!
The ASS: “ Oh I dint knew this was my work, yes I will do that now” They are the real assholes in office. They don’t understand what is required of them & even when they finish there own work, they are usually busy with their pal’s work! Very easily befooled & taken advantage of their feelings. They usually crib about tons of workload, when mostly it is none of their business.

The PARROT: “ I wholeheartedly agree with my friend, that this would be the best course of action”. Zero on ideas, creativity and knowledge. They still tend to survive & flourish more than 1 & 2 because they never contradict anyone. By taking other’s ideas & implementing them as their own, they move upwards!
The RABBIT: “Couple of days!!! Ha… this project would be over in hours…” They are infinitely inspired by the movie: ‘The Fast & the Furious’! Always in a hurry to finish everything & stay one step ahead. But sometimes they crash due to rash driving. Overconfident and unreliable.
THE TORTOISE: “Slow and Study wins the race” This is not a universal truth, but still holds true most of the times. This breed takes its own time but unfailingly delivers the goods. Mr. Dependable in office. But they are not recommended when the need of the hour is: Quick thinking & decision-making.
THE ELEPHANT: “Behind the scenes: Chhupa Rustam” The people who drive the organization forward, albeit working backwards! The ‘heart & soul’ of the company. Calm, composed & proactive: their hallmark. But most importantly, they have a ‘mast chaal’… Very positive!
THE PEACOCK: “The Bold and the Beautiful” Men love them, Women loathe them. Yes you guessed it right: the Eye-candies in office! Their progress is directly proportional to their looks & friendliness ;-) They don’t possess brains but does that matter??? Mostly there is scarcity of these species but EVS is lucky :-)
THE CROCODILE: “Warning: Stay away from them!!!” They rise, when others fall. These are the solemn practitioners of every unethical activity in the corporate world. The Cow, the Ass and sometimes even the tortoise are their miserable victims. So who handles them & takes proper care of these scavengers? Read on…
THE LEOPARD: “The Commander: Fast,Efficient,Dynamic,Intelligent” When the going gets tough, the tough gets going! They are the ones who steer the ship to safety even when the tortoise & the elephants fail. They move exponentially upwards everywhere, not because they are clever and sharp! But much more than that, a 10 0ut of 10 on every scale. They are simply the best and Yes, they are the ones who keep the crocodiles at bay…
THE LION: “The Master, the King of the Ring: Numero Uno” The Leader who commands the group… He/She motivates the Cow, gives self-respect to the Ass, keeps an eye on the Parrot, optimizes the Rabbit, encourages the Tortoise, salutes the Elephant, hails the Peacock, restricts the Crocodile and guides the Leopard…
In a nutshell: The Fountainhead…
Hmmm…
So, now even you believe: “Man is a social animal”!!!

Very original take on the many peculiarities of officedom. And though it may seem hard to believe at first that there can be so many distinct types of workers in an office, after a moment of thought you realize that all of this actually is true. Well-written!
