Dear junior member of any institution:

Fellow juniors,

Just remember this:

It’s okay for other people to be offensive to you

It’s not okay for you to be offensive back to them

It’s not okay for you to neither show any kind of dissatisfaction nor display any discomfort on your face

In return, you must thank them for their kindness and generosity of their heart that you are still breathing

It’s okay for them to be disrespectful

(Even as a human being)

But you must be obliging and all smile all day long

It’s not okay for you to tell them that they are wrong,

It’s not okay to say anything at all, really

That in your tiny useless head that you might actually own a little piece of knowledge,

But it’s okay to tell everyone how stupid you are to make them feel so knowledgeable

Please, please, juniors please, you are a zero,

Nothing you do can ever make you a hero (like, please, what were you thinking?)

It’s okay for them to feel sorry for how little experience you have (so you must shut up and be stupid and be ready to be accused of everything at all time), and even if this is your third year working there and have progressed tremendously, you are still an inexperienced little shit.

It’s not okay for you to suggest anything because those brilliant ideas of yours do not show how much effort you have done in improving yourself, but it’s because you stole the idea from them

If you have done anything worthy for the institution,

It is due to the liberty of their compassion

It is okay for them not to say thank you nor appreciate you

That your effort means nothing, but it was a mere coincidence

That it’s okay for them to call your work rubbish and disregard them without helping you to improve it

That you would be scrutinized from head to toe,

That your downfall shall be awaited

That all your glory shall go unsung

That whatever human frailties you possess

Get rid of them as you must be flawless, godlike even

Because should anything go wrong in their eyes,

Please remember that everything is your fault regardless.

Truly yours,

Eff off.

N.B: Although it applies to most, this does not apply to any senior members who have been genuinely helpful, supportive and kind.
