Photo caption: AT THE END OF THE ROUL’_ Are you feeling slack? Don’t (especially) be like Armond, the hotel manager in “White Lotus” (HBO). Dabbling in drugs and alcohol won’t do you any good. Instead, follow our advice, turn to this employee who opens his arms wide to you. He only wants your good.

Friday evening, you are finishing up the last files of the week when you hear annoying whining in the hallway. Who brought their kid? Person. It’s your manager curled up on the floor in the dark. Torn between morbid fascination and slight empathy, you question him. The diagnosis is clear: he is depressed.

1) BECOME HIS ALLY
This is the first step, but also the most annoying. Being your manager’s right hand requires listening to them whine all day long. A handkerchief budget is to be expected. Once you are in your boss’s little papers and you know every detail of his gloomy life, the plan will be able to get started.

2) BECOME IRREPLACEABLE
You are his light in the darkness, his beacon in the midst of the swell. Which is practical in a professional relations context, since now you are invincible. Interesting opportunities will begin to present themselves to you, don’t hesitate for a second. However, be careful with your mental load, handling is tiring.

3) MAKE YOUR EFFORTS FURTHER
Don’t start feeling guilty, you’re doing a great job with the club’s atmosphere. You deserve to be rewarded. On the other hand, refuse the happiness manager position which risks skipping once your N+1 heals. Or, accept it and keep your boss’s head in the water. It all depends on the pay slip.

4) TAKE THE REINS OF THE BUSINESS
However, your boss must always believe he is in charge of decisions. When in reality, it is you who is acting in the shadows. In other words, gaslight him unceremoniously. If those around him start to suspect something, isolate him. But no, you are not a PN… you just have ambition!

5) INTEGRATE YOUR PERSONAL LIFE
Since he divorced under your good advice, you have free rein to become his new family. His children were the last defense against your influence, they are now excluded from Sunday meals. If your boss is Logan Roy, play the stepmother card to the fullest, it pays off. If it’s more Michael Scott, then stay in the next room.

6) KILL HIM
Despite all your efforts to get your boss to brighten up again, he is still brooding. It’s not for lack of trying, but if he doesn’t want to heal you can’t force him. On the other hand, you can do him this last service, since he asks you so kindly… Settle the last details of the succession in advance, the organization above all.

7) GO TO THE PSYCHOLOGY
This whole story touched you a lot. Losing your boss hasn’t been easy for the company and you feel like your morale is low. Now that you are the new CEO, you must be in great shape. Be careful of this employee who becomes a little too nice to you, he is surely manipulating you.

Verdict: you have passed three of these stages, congratulations, your honorable (and bloodthirsty) fight against bosses is on the right track.
