Kuchi Rats Unite!

Have you ever thought how important kuchi rats* are?

See that fancy audit report signed off by swanky PriceWaterhouseCoopers or Ernst & Young? It was prepared by a poor kuchi rat who probably burnt many nights of the midnight oil just getting the figures in place.

See that glossy annual report? It was also done by a poor kuchi rat who plugged figures in from all over.

See that massive financial model whose figures are flying out to investors from all corners of the world? It was done by…yes, yet another kuchi rat!

I started off my working life as a kuchi rat and did all that and I used to think what a scary thought it was that important things such as annual reports and financial audits were actually being worked on by little kuchi rats who, in some cases, hardly knew what they were doing! I remember my years of working into the early hours of the morning trying to balance a damn balance sheet that wouldn’t balance no matter how hard I tried. I remember mean bosses who threw their work at me, the poor kuchi rat, while they strolled home only to look at it the next day without a care about how late I had to work to get it ready. 

However, some recent incidences made me realise that kuchi rats actually hold lots of power. When it comes down to the nitty gritty of it all, those mean bosses are forced to come back to them to find out how the details actually work. And if you’re a mean kuchi rat, that’s when to beam and make them grovel! Ah…power is dangerous in the wrong hands, isn’t it?! :P

So, if you’re just starting off work as a kuchi rat or are still stuck, like me, in a kuchi rat position or have not-so-fond memories of your kuchi rat days, take heart. Without kuchi rats, the world wouldn’t be going anywhere! :)

This is a completely random post!

    We’re all kuchi rats at one point or another. What are kuchi rats’ bosses called?

    PE says: Agreed…what’s more important is for us to progress to be Big Bad Bosses (kuchi rats’ bosses!) :P
