PREDATORS IN THE WORKPLACE


  "PREDATOR:   LIVING BY ROBBING, PLUNDERING OR PREYING ON OTHER ANIMALS" ..........Webster's New World Dictionary


"J.R. Ewing, of evening TV Soap Opera notoriety, has become the stereotype of the individual who "lives by robbing, plundering or preying on other humans".  He will do virtually anything for power and money".

Unfortunately, there are many real world versions of this type of predator in every type of life situation that we run into.  My own experience with this type of person has been in the workplace.  For those of us who periodically need sutures between our shoulder blades, after the Predators went into their act, the following describes the behavior patterns, tricks, techniques, buzz words and body language used - supposedly without detection - by the "Predators".  Most of us have seen them in different forms - usually too late - but they are pretty much stereotyped to the (sadly) experienced eye.  I've classified my own "Predators" into several categories.


OscarGate


OscarGate, a John Grisham type novel has drama, violence, and a lot of New York individuality and humor.

It is about the hostile takeover of a Hollywood movie studio by an Asian conglomerate and the adverse impact of its heavy-handed management style on artistic personnel. Four Oscar winners form their own production company and meet with ex-New Yorker clubs all around the country to help finance their project. When sued by their former employer for Breach of Contract and the credibility of their testimony is in jeopardy, a chance event turns everything upside down into a dramatic, and - yes - exciting conclusion.

 
The trial is the heart of the novel. One of the main characters is the movie industry's reigning Sex Goddess, the world's biggest box office draw. Rita Hayworth, Marilyn Monroe and Sharon Stone all rolled into one, her character is truly a memorable one.

Her testimony, during the trial, especially the attempted rape scene, is unforgettable. She is a remarkable package; a vamp, the girl next door, a movie director and a business executive all in one - with a Mensa level IQ and a classic New York street wise mouth to top it all off. 

Hell's Blessing
        It’s 1969 in Vietnam’s Central Highlands. After an ambush, Navy SEAL, MEL STONE has a big problem. Four months after his 22nd birthday, he’s a changed man. His memory is gone, Scorpion venom, months of drowning in Asian herb therapy and a voltage tsunami have mutated his metabolism and genetic structure.

    Ponce De Leon couldn’t find it. Mel Stone didn’t have to look for the Fountain of Youth. It had found him. Everything’s not coming up roses, not by a long shot.  Mel Stone is Dorian Gray without the painting.  He is also Dr. Richard Kimble without a one-armed man on his mind.

    It gets worse. Word of his “blessing” has reached powerful men like Medellin drug lord, PEDRO RAMIREZ and TAD THOMSON, the self-proclaimed richest man in the world. If you have the resources to grab eternal youth why not go after it?  They do.

    A modern version of Houdini each time he’s captured, he flees from Asia to Europe, makes a stop in the U.S., and ends up in South America. During his odyssey, agents of the rich and powerful grab him. They can’t hold him. Frequent kisses from Lady Luck, guile, ingenuity, and brute force are his skill sets.

    The story changes from how he eludes his pursuers to the ingenious and brutal methods he uses to eliminate those who have tried to capture him and harm the love of his life. A nice Jewish boy from Brooklyn deepens his voice, wraps a rag around his head and became Rambo. 

    Fast paced, with intrigue, romance, and action, yet lightened by Nelson DeMille type flippant dialogue in the face of peril, Hell¹s Blessing describes the price paid by egos attempting to tamper with Mother Nature.

Dante's Eternity
                                   Dante's Eternity

DANTE DeMILLE, a second-generation product of twisted eugenics, lives a life that leaves a trail of misery for those who care for him. 
      
Visually identical fraternal twins grow up with a bond beyond all normality. From infancy on, any separation from his sister, causes Dante to lose control and become malevolent.

His evil acts are immediately reflected in the accelerated aging and agony of his sister, DEMI.

Pain, acne, and hair loss during preschool and teen years; agonizing degenerative arthritis, graying hair, and wrinkles, etc. as an adult are a plague she endures most of her life.

On rare occasions when Dante acts with humanity, Demi’s aging process reverses

The impact of their paranormal bond continues throughout their adult lives though he lives in New York and she lives in Hollywood,

After thirty years of separation, Dante’s Eternity closes the book when the twins meet in New York in a shocking ending.

    “Captain,your autopilot is  programmed to crash into the NSA  and prevent it from listening in on Allah’s plans to destroy America.”

    It’s white knuckle time when a charter plane’s automatic pilot takes control away from the flight crew.

    A jihadist cell in Virginia remotely controls the plane, in effect making it a drone.
 
    The terrorists' plan involves crashing the plane into the NSA (National Security Agency) in order to prevent the NSA from listening in on their schemes to attack the U.S.
 
    The flight crew teams up with Boeing autopilot experts in Waswhington D.C. 


     Boeing engineering suggests shutting off all power in the middle of a violent storm in order to disable the GPS control of the autopilot. It's a long shot to be able to restore  to restore control of the plane and prevent a crippling blow to U.S. security before fighter jets from Andrews Air Force base follow their orders to shoot the it down
