Corporate Conversations

This happened a couple of years back. The time when we were just cub software engineers in this vast software jungle...huh...... not that now we have become lions.... !!! It was the time when we were scared about the managers, the time when a single mail from the manager would make us go berserk and slog day and night.... !!! The time when managers were corporate GODs for us. This happened with our protagonist Mr.Techno Venkat. This is the mail conversation between our protagonist and his manager, a day before the release

Manager's Mail: Venkat, the" xxxx" module that you had claimed to be completed coding and successful, the SHIT doesn't work. blah..blah...blah...bish...bish...bish...bishkyaooonnn... bishkyaooonnn... dhidum... dhidum.... dumeeel !!!! ( Yeah, same blood...uh...!!!)

(At that time had I received a mail from my manager with that tone, I would have literally pissed in my pants)

Our protagonists reply: Okay, Fine. (Perrrrrriod)

Whoa....I mean wow... that was an apt reply which would make any manager go MAD, FURIOUS, DISASTROUS or even CARNIVOROUS.... !!! But truly, the reply wasn't meant to be in that cold arrogant tone, it was just that our poor Techno Venkat didnt know what to reply, so he just said "Okay fine". Of course I don't know what happened the next day, but I would have really loved to see the manager's reaction... !!!
