Corporate animal 17


The tokay
It is like a gecko, a lizard. He is difficult to evict once he is in the house. He is usually a diligent worker who does what was instructed and a sole ambition to stay where he/she is. Promotion is an added incentive. He keeps a low profile so as not to provoke any sentiments that could result in her removal. He is usually a middle manager. In Hokkien, they are termed as 'pak si buey chao' loosely translated as 'beat till dead also will not run'.
