While working for Behbehani Motors Company at Shuwaikh in Kuwait for a long time, I got myself involved in lot of extracurricular activities outside my work premises and in the subjects which had no connection with my job. Because I was doing these activities my superiors were jealous of me especially my Nazi type superiors. Georg. Dzierzon a German who was born and brought up in Germany during the Nazi era of Hitler was my general manager. He became general manager as a donkey without knowing proper ABC in English and a little English he learnt was in the British Council Tutorials and for such a donkey to reach to the top position means great. This greatness he achieved not because of his excellence on the job field but because of something else not related to the job. He was such a cruel rascal that like a master he was treating staff working under him as slaves, extorting work from them by threatening not only with dismissal even for a minor mistake but also with deportation as if he was the Interior minister. By taking advantage of the local Labour Law which was not in favour of the labour force he would destroy any employee whom he desliked and in such a situation and in the absence of Trade Union the poor employees would suffer the mental torturing by this Monster.
His treatment to the staff was so ruthless that some staff members had even undergone mental stress. He was a racist number one, employing staff for donkey’s salary but expecting from them genius work thus creating tension into the minds of the staff. He was a sadistic minded man taking pleasure in giving mental torture to his staff. All these worst harassments he was giving to the staff working under him were for his own personal satisfaction without the knowledge of the owners of the company that is Behbehanis who are very good people and who don’t like their employees to be harassed but this Georg. Dzierzon a Nazi German was practicing all types of atrocities without the knowledge of Behbehanis whose very good image has been soiled by Nazis like Dzierzon and such others.
I, in my personal capacity was helping a Goan mother to get back the custody of her small son who in a semi kidnapped state was taken by force by a South African couple. It was a big issue in Kuwait about 16 years back and the local media made this issue more sensational. Indian Ambassador Mr. Nair a Malyali drunkard was supporting the South Africans inspite of my plea to him to help the mother to get back her Indian son. Then I came to Goa, met MP Sardinha to raise this issue in the Parliament. Also I met Parrikar who was in the opposition then but nothing moved in my favour. Then I came back to Kuwait and after exhausting all my vast influence joined together with the Uncle and Unty of the boy and filed a case in the court against South Africans. Many Goans were afraid that with their power and influence the South Africans will destroy me but I was firm in my decision to render justice to the Goan mother. On the eve of the final verdict after threatening me with dire consequences if I don’t withdraw from this scene the female South African complained to my general manager the Nazi Georg. Dzierzon telling him all lies against me so that he sacks me disgracefully from the job.
Like an idiot rascal this bloody general manager of mine believed everything what she told him as if it was Biblical truth and called me in his office along with my immediate manager and without asking me the actual facts started insulting me with anger. This was the first time in my life in the company that I was insulted. Since power was in his hands I could not challenge him but decided that once I return to Goa for good, I will disgrace him so that not only he again but many like him in Kuwait refrain from acting rudely. First of all he had no authority to involve himself in this topic by listening to a South African Bitch. This matter falls beyond his jurisdiction but he like Emperor Nero got himself involved to please the female because he was a female man, a shameless person who was a disgrace on Managership.
The good image of Kuwait and that of Behbehanis is soiled by such managers because to protect their undeserving high salaries they are ready to do anything to please their top bosses even doling their wives to their bosses. When things were going hard for me in this Case to save my job since my Nazi GM kept his eyes on me, I told my Kuwaiti friends in Goa-Kuwait Solidarity Centre circle and one of them told me thus: “Does Dzierzon know who you are and what you have done for Kuwait when Kuwait was invaded? Kuwait will never desert you and we as Kuwaitis will stand by you. Kuwait Church and its Bishop stood by me and all the right thinking persons as well.
One of my Kuwaiti friends while supporting me said: “when Kuwait was invaded by Iraq, under your leadership Goans made a big movement against Iraqi invasion of Kuwait but this Nazi General Manager did nothing in Germany inspite of earning millions from Kuwait. Even Saddam Hussein men in Germany made demonstrations in Germany in support of invasion while Dzierzon was sleeping with concubines instead of raising his voice in support of Kuwait”.
As a matter of fact Dzierzon is a coward to do what I did for Kuwait. He had no marbles in his pant to defy Saddam Hussein as I did. He can shake only weak people working under him. He is the man responsible to spoil the very good image of Behbehanis by Bastardising his Managership. And regretfully, we have in Kuwait almost in every company such Nazi G. Dzierzons who should be exposed openly.
