Outside looking In

Have you ever seen something slowly becoming corrupted??? I mean I have. As I stand here on the outside fully aware of the drama that goes on in a company that I don't even work for... The sad thing is I watched the employee work his ass of to get to the top only to let the power go straight to his head. I mean I guess it is true what they say, "some people aren't meant to have it". Ok so let me get to the details of the story..... It's simple really the boss I'll name him "Cookie monster" and the crew "Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts". Are you starting to see where this story is going??? I think you do and if you don't... well let me explain it for you. Girl scouts sell cookies (their bodies) and boy scouts handle the hardware (their bodies), the Cookie monster himself picks from a plate of  Girl scouts. It's almost like a buffet table to be honest. The rules are simple:
  1.  If you hang out, you can not repeat what happened the night of.
  2. If you choose to drink and can't hold your liquor, you are still expected to work your shift the following day.
  3. If you stay up too late causing you to get less than 8 hours of sleep, you are still entitled to work you shift the following day or current day.
  4. Once you have crossed the line there is no going back and rules 1-3 must be followed.
As the Cookie Monster starts to bring in more and more employees to hang out the level of strictness sets in and favoritism begins. This then cause these crew members to become cocky, riding the clock, insubordination, laziness and schedule changes. The Girl scouts each know about each other and the rules they must follow, which causes competition in areas irrelevant to the job. The girls can't get along or complete simple task because they are all young minded and secretly wishing they are the only one with the Cookie monsters attention. I guess I can't really call them young minded because really they age between 17-23, while the Cookie monster is 31 but thinks he is still 26. My curiosity starts to kick in as I wonder, when does the Cookie Monster become bored and grow tired of the game he plays? Will he grow tired of the game? At what point will the personal drama become to much for the business itself?
