A Chameleon
Great story poking fun at the way people kiss up to those in power.
Very true and very funny.
Sometimes when one observes the world and the way it works -- one thinks -- I can't believe people get away with what they get away with. But the fact is -- the established order of the world probably hasn't changed much for thousands of years. In other words, you can go back to ancient Rome and you'd see the power structures and the way people react to the power structure similar to a modern day corporation.
In the elevator -- the upper echelon manager ignores the person delivering the office mail -- but becomes very chatty when the vice-president enters -- or the Roman Senator dismisses the person cleaning the floors but beams when the Emperor visits.
Or the executives at a corporate meeting all laugh heartily at the lame joke by the CEO and the funny career file clerk doesn't get much recognition from anyone except maybe his mama.
No wonder everyone wants to become a celebrity.
