It appears rage quitting is more of a gamma and omega way of walking away.
The omega from a position of
"What the hell, how much worse can't get?"
The gamma form the position of "nobody realizes what a special boy I am!"
The delta just quietly walks out because he's competent enough he'll have another equal or better job that same week and is just tired of being pissed on.
The Bravo and Alpha seem a bitt harder to pin down to me
Those I've been around seem to have a longer and wider view of business, opportunity, and alliances, slow to burn bridges quick to forgive if the conditions and terms can be negotiated in their favor. More of a "we don't quit, we reorganize, band together and emerge bigger and better" mindset.
Yay I got on sigma game!! ....OK enough of that. You all would be amused to know that the owners changed all the passwords on everything like I've never seen before when other employees quit.
A few years back, my company merged with a partner and I inherited an employee, A gamma. I had never encountered such a thing. But this was when I was first learning about the SSH. I emailed Vox and told him that a gamma was exactly how this employee was behaving. I'll never forget his response - "Fire him, immediately". Wished I could. But the company now was based in Canada, and firing is tough. I came to learn that this guy was a lemon that his weak manager simply endured.
All we asked is that he bring his work up to the standards of the new company. Unfortunately for him, my boss was a stone cold alpha, and was having none of his BS. I complained to him about these great wall of china emails, and he said, "Don't respond. I don't even read them". Review time came around, and I followed the HR department's brand new rating method, gave the boy a mediocre review with three areas of improvement. Dude short circuited, blew a gasket and went on disability all summer. When he came back, he was given concrete duties and timelines, as well as having his virtual days removed. He now had to work in the office. He missed some really important deadlines, which came to the attention of the Alpha CEO. Dude wanted to fire not only the gamma, but his former boss and the VP of HR for letting this situation get out of hand. My boss and I had to wait until the gamma self destructed for the Canadians to do anything.
What a relief.
Didn't last. I had to do all the work he hadn't done. I came to find out, not only was the dude a gamma, he also was a space monkey ( or lazy). All he knew how to do was run the scripts the previous guy left 7 years prior. Didn't know any background tech that the product needed - like Windows, Cloud VMs and networking. He never applied patches and updates to any of the machines under his care.
There was a brief span of time before the merger that I could've said I didn't want him, since he spent 1/2 his time in pro services. I met him pre-merger and thought he was a bit of a freak. I thought it a Canadian thing. Turns out his former manager fobbed him off on me in a lemon toss. Now I know what to look for. If I can't fire them, I'll setup them up to self detonate. He'd have never made it, pre merger, in a group with an alpha VP, at least one alpha manager, a handful of bravos and a few deltas. It was a super high performing group. Great times. Some of the happiest in my career.
Here are two recent examples of successfully using the SSH:
Introspective: Realized what my own behaviors tend toward, and did NOT pursue starting my own business in the field I'm in. I'm knowledgeable enough to run most everything myself, or hire specialists for areas that I'm lacking, but I'm not an Alpha.
Extrospective: Got myself assigned to another manager who IS an Alpha, versus the Gamma that I was assigned to.
That picture is a great idea for a new super villain. "Gamma-Man", who is in a constant state of fiery thin-skinned rage, takes EVERYTHING personal and attacks everyone around himself. Even those who good naturedly attempt to help him, are mercilessly assaulted.
Another appropriate gamma power would be a secret king who has ultimate euphoric cosmic power but the more visible its effects the more it diminishes until he is completely depowered if people are directly watching. Sort of like that guy who is invisible only when no one is looking at him from the movie 'Mystery Men'.
Every woman is deeply infatuated with Gamma Man, but the villainous villains have brainwashed them into not flailing themselves onto the real hero, who is Gamma Man.
"The ideal way for Deltas to handle Gamma attacks is to utilize hierarchical jujitsu against the Gamma"
Don't give Gamma ammo against you, and be more valuable to the Alpha/Bravo who oversees you both.
Turn the Other Cheek is practical wisdom for Deltas who have no authority in the system they belong to. You may not have power, but you still have plenty of leverage by doing good. Payoffs are not immediate but the probabilities are stacked in your favor.
You can be a delta at work. Just take reasonable steps to protect yourself. Especially in sales. Documenting everything over email proves timelines and engagement with key customers. Always protect yourself, and always know your enemy.
There are actual rage quits in real life. I remember one on a youth baseball team growing up. Was a close game and this kid would not go up to bat and everyone was yelling at him. He broke down and would not bat so we lost the game. Interesting to see the SSH in your memories.
Indians are great when you need help cheating a system in my experience. Getting a doctor's note written up, a specific prescription, getting through legal barriers, overcoming regulations, etc. It's simply part of their culture where bribery is institutionalized and the globohomo institutions really do deserve this low-trust behavior.
Question: Is India replacing the USA/commonwealth-Dominion countries as the new home of the empire that never dies because there are so many gammas there? Is a gamma threshold necessary to achieve this infamous distinction?
Many wars seem to be politicized gamma rage and scheming, and the gamma perps end up declaring victory and quitting the war before they are defeated.
It’s the same as in the post except these little wars are between governments instead of office mates.
That’s an interesting question. Clown World / House of Lies is intrinsically Gamma because it’s essentially an extended delusion bubble. They had decades to degrade and Gammify the population here. A more urgent schedule would favor a pre-selected target.
Hindus are also pushing for an Inquisition museum in the style of a Holocaust museum to demoralise the native Catholic majority of ethnic Goans, even after the Inquisition records showed that the Hindu narratives are BS:
I once heard that the suicide rate of average Joes in the various Intel agencies is quite high. Perhaps they would rather kill themselves than continue playing gamma delusion games. If true then the extent of gamma evil likely exceeds the imagination.
Reminds me of some totally unnecessary office drama that I went through almost twenty years ago, when I had no clue about the SSH. This guy called me one morning at home and told me that the supervisor was going to fire me. Being the naive delta I confronted the supervisor and just asked him straight up what was going on. He was kinda nonplussed and said “no Jimmy gave me an ultimatum, it’s either him or you. Since you have always done a good job I chose you.” So this twat was trying to get me fired and trying to play like he was my friend! Gamma as hell. I saw that he recently viewed my LinkedIn profile, so he is probably still seething 😡. Also he doesn’t list our former employer or the one he had after that. I recall that our employer withheld payment to him because he was contracted to provide services he failed to deliver - being a secret king and performing gamma drama was more important to him.
This was the identical situation to something I experienced in my early days in the workforce. As a highly dependable, competent but fresh team member, I was constantly being bullied and having important tasks usurped by a seasoned but unstable colleague (who viewed himself a superior but was, hierarchally, not). I called him out, having a lot less to lose as a rookie, and he took it to the bosses delivering an ultimatum. They said, really? An ultimatum? You're fired then. I was shocked that they chose me, but it was a strong intro to the SSH dynamics. As he left the building he threatened the publisher saying "It'll be your funeral." They filed a restraining order against him and the rest of the office delighted in dividing up his office supplies he was not allowed back in to retrieve. Some of the receptionists who he was always creeping on kept mementos to hate on like a deranged SEAL kept enemy ears....good times. (Women HATE Gammas...)
Good on you man, people like this need to be taught a lesson, whether they learn it or not. I had another colleague even before this ((different company) who so spooked the receptionist when he was fired, that the company installed a coded lock on the door so that he couldn’t go postal on us. He was probably a gamma too; either that or a garden variety schizophrenic.
Love nothing more than a gamma rage quit or even better the internet forum flounce.. especially when no one cares and they come back to spout more shit.
Gammas are geared up to argue and debate over the details, where even though they are in the wrong, they can make it sound plausible. This woman avoided dealing with the gamma on his home turf.
I do not recall reading a single account of events by Gamma that was not visibly dishonest in such situations. Though Gammas can be effective in catching others on rules and wrong opinions which can cause trouble with HR.
The waiting strategy is quite good in that, even if some believe the Gamma the first time, as the occurrences and annoyance builds up the cover is blown and when the line is finally crossed no one is interested in hearing the wall of all-things-wrong text.
Something similar happened to me 10 years ago. I closed a big sale and a gamma colleague called me and claimed it was ‘his sale’ on the basis that he had an earlier conversation with the customer (which I had no idea about) and even though I had done all the work.
What’s helpful and illustrative in the example given is that in my example I wasn’t sure whether to rise to the gamma’s challenge or to simply stay calm, lay out the facts and let our managers decide between them. Both had uncertain outcomes but if I rose to the bait that would have played into the gamma’s hands. After the conversation I spoke with my manager (who I had faith in) who spoke with the gamma’s manager and that was the last I heard about it.
The act of stealing an account is the gamma strategy for remaining relevant in an organization. Another approach is when a gamma provides input in terms of advice and opinions, and if the executor achieves the goal, the gamma takes the credit.

He never applied patches and updates to any of the machines under his care.
BTW - he told my Alpha VP boss that he was a bit of an executive as well, since he was the president of his online gaming club.
Think about how much time, money, and headaches you could have saved if you'd just fired him right away. They're never worth it.

Killer. Congratulations. Working for a gamma boss is always a nightmare. They're like male karens.
Well done! Great hurdles avoided.

They have a mysterious power that allows to be anything and do anything inside their minds.

Patience is essential. Gamma hijinks are so annoying though. They seriously test restraint.
I worked for one a few jobs back. Indian guy, incapable of producing a rational thought let alone any functional code, loved to steal credit.
I was young and foolish, and the recession was several years old at the time. I stayed long enough to become a scapegoat for one of his many failures.
I worked with a group of them on a project for 3M once. They were impressively incompetent and lazy.

Clown world going to India would be a hell of their own making. As TBBT Raj said, even Indians don't want to live in India.
It is interesting that Australia, despite its ideal position and vulnerable culture, is not higher on the Clown World location list.
That’s an interesting question. Clown World / House of Lies is intrinsically Gamma because it’s essentially an extended delusion bubble. They had decades to degrade and Gammify the population here. A more urgent schedule would favor a pre-selected target.
Jews have been trying to prep Goa (Portuguese India, over 80% of the natives are Catholic) for their Clown World landing with the help of Brahmins:

Hindu “history” is even more fantastical than clown world.
Intrinsically lambda. And fake.
Gammas are their brown shirts.

Forbidden management tech strikes again. Well played indeed, Mr. Delta.
