Further, this employee tells me how his own relatives told him a thousand
times not to choose the dark side, that they are worried about him, that he
often gets carried into all this, into bad stories, into bad companies. And
that relatives often said that “Hey, you remind us of that relative who is
the same, so to speak, slacker.” I am in shock when I listened to all this because
the dialogue lasted probably at least two hours. And I see that a completely
different person is talking to me right now. Not that employee with heaviness
and lies, and bile, and some game, and an “ulterior” thought inside, but
a person who is as if maximally light and open. As if he was completely
replaced. The most interesting thing is, it feels as if I have never even talked
to him like this.
What’s next? Then, casually somehow in the conversation, the employee
himself asks me what I generally think about what has happened over the last
month, the fact that he messed up, deceived, betrayed, stole money, insulted,
slandered, well, everything possible. And so he asks me, this employee who
is the beast, what I think about everything. I tell him: “Listen, I honestly
admit to you, today I talked with an acquaintance about you...” And why
do I say that? Because this employee, he doesn’t know any Big Alexander,
naturally, and isn’t aware of any books. And so I simply tell the employee:
— I talked with an old friend, — that is, with Big Alexander, — to whom I said
that I am afraid of you, or rather not afraid of you, but that I am afraid to even
say anything extra to you because I am afraid to provoke this beast in you,
and that you will pounce on me. And that now, at some moments, when I
want to warn you about something regarding work, I keep silent, otherwise
you will pounce on me. And it turns out, I don’t understand how to work
with you if now I can’t make remarks to you that need to be made. But if I
don’t tell you that you forgot the bag, then you will forget it after all, if I don’t
remind you. And I have always been a reminder, and now what, must I be
silent when you lose my money and perform work incorrectly? This will all go
into the negatives for me and the company.
And I tell all this to the employee, so, in a nutshell, he laughs, but I see that
no demon wakes up in him, nothing. And I say to him:
