Where have all the donkeys gone?

Long- long ago, there used to be an intelligent donkey species, called i-donkeys. These i-donkeys are special; they are a rare combination of intelligence and hard work. They used to slog their life off for any work assigned to them. They used to work for a pittance, a small perk used to excite them to death and a tempted onsite opportunity would make them work 48 hours a day. This species continued to exist happily until Murphy happened to see these creatures through his naughty binoculars. And the inevitable happened, slowly- fastly, rather, fastly- fastly, this race has started to get extinct, when I say fastly, I mean it got extinct faster than the most endangered species in the world. But how? The answer is the story of Daddu, an intelligent donkey.

Daddu was an intelligent donkey, thanks to his mother; she made sure that she has taken a Mentos a day during Daddu's gestation period and thanks to his mother again, she fed Daddu with a Mentos a day until he grew up to be an intelligent youth. And hence, Daddu has become a rare combination of intelligence and hard work and evolved as an i-donkey. He was very happy to see the article "an" instead of "a" before his race's name; and was even happier to get a job. A job where he can prove his intellectual capabilities and a job where he could show case his hard working capabilities.

Daddu started off; he liked his company, it gave him lots of facilities, which inspired him to work even harder, say 48 hours a day. He was introduced to a lot of alien things during his work, there are people who talk about etiquettes, how to eat, how not to harass the female i-donkeys, how to talk on phone, and plethora of other things, he learnt them, but for him work was ultimate; after all, the ultimate purpose of his life was to work hard and he thought he was doing what he is expected to, only until a new concept called appraisal was introduced to him where he was told that he just met the expectations which is not enough, he needs to show case what he has been doing. He did not quite get what that was and he continued working hard.

Everything around Daddu changed, except for his position, but he continued working hard only until he was repeatedly told that he just meeting the expectations, he was heart broken, he did not understand what he lacked, until he looked up and around, where he saw a whole race of i-donkeys. They were everywhere and in huge numbers. Everyone had the same problem, they are working hard but gaining nothing, the praise, award, reward, everything was given to the "cool" donkeys, while the i-donkeys are slogging and slogging, but remember Daddu was an i-donkey, he could think, he understands and hence slowly he phased himself out of the hard working mode.

Years later, after a saga of managing a lot of donkeys, Daddu's manager thought, where are all the i-donkeys gone?

The answer is, they evolved to "cool" donkeys who do smart work. Remember, there are too many i-donkeys and a few cool donkeys who claim the reward for i-donkeys' works. But, i-donkeys are smart, they wont let younger i-donkeys to suffer like them, rather they just advice them to be a cool donkey. Daddu did it, he made sure that there are no i-donkeys in his team and so did many other unrecognized i-donkeys who forced themselves to evolve as cool donkeys.

Now, the world is full of cool donkeys, each cool donkey show cases too much, where the actual work done is nil. And all those managers who enjoyed the saga of i-donkeys are now thinking, where have all those donkeys gone?

Do you call it an extinction or an evolution or a genocide?
