No.

On November 6, 2000, PC Sorkar made the famous Taj Mahal vanish for a distinguished gathering of the country's elite.
So what is the similarity between Magicians and Corporate Jobs?
Same as magicians, In corporate jobs we do gimmicks, tricks to survive, dare devil acts, convert one resource into another resource.
Understand even in corporate this magic show is done for different customers, peer colleagues, superiors and team members.
In order to have a depth understanding, Let's look what makes a poor magic show [Guess the same applies for a corporate job as well]
Doing the same trick time & again. [None like repetitive work/process unless no innovative measures are done]
Doing the little variant of the tricks for the same audience [Same customer for long will not appreciate whatever minute changes made in the tricks]
Timing of the tricks [WOW factor only comes in when we respond to corporate job on time every time, whether it is delivery/quality/measures/resources]
Cheer leaders [Godfathers and cheer leaders who fantasize to take the trick to the next level or shall take it to the higher level management]
Incentives for the near death act, buffoons for distraction [Incentives for the best team performers, lashes for the poor performers, funny fellows for distractions]
Understanding what other magicians are doing [Know your competitors either internal peers or external market trends]
So the statement holds good
"Out of tricks, Out of job".
Note: Author has written “Out of tricks” in the context that it does not mean to play tricks unethically to play/spoil others job. Author means to remind there are many innovative way of doing tricks.
If you differ or feel something similar is prevalent in the corporate corridors, do share your experiences.
