There are 2 lives for those who go out and work. One at home and one at office. I call it a life coz we spend atleast 8-9 hrs of our daily time at office and we dont even get to sleep there.
This place is no better than a home. There is always love mardhad and action filled at workplace.
Love from employees to manager and from manager to the ones they actually love. In professional terms its called Utilizing the good resources but I call it pure favoritism. Given some encouragement and support everyone can perform well in a company. The less fortunate crowd who are not the favs or they dont want to be favourites, are always cornered, battered, troubled and ensured that their life is screwed for 8-9 hrs. The amount of work they do doesnt matter, the patience they show doesnt matter and their health.. oops that too doesnt matter
Mardhad I mean maar-peet. There is always a fight between 2 people just like at home. This in professional terms we call it Conflict management.
At home we manage these fights because of love and at workplace we manage it to survive, and because of this hatred we have to fight to save our own ass. You had a tussle with a team member (including a manager), it simply means your hike or promotion is affected. and its because of this extra piece of bone in a year called bonus/hike, we all show up a different face at work, a happy and a patient one, even when things back home is literally fucked.
All of us are wanting to be independent (women in particular), earn a good living, make our lives better and our families life better by earning those extra bucks. Utilize our education by putting into use our overall learning. But in return we are tested for our patience, tried to humiliate at many instances and what not. Basically we need to carry an extra ton of patience while going to workplace.
Action is applicable both at work and at home. I have a list of action items stuck on my fridge, cupboard mirror and where not. Thankfully I dont stick few on my body. The same applies in office where we have a list of items to do, mostly daily. The first action for the day is to hurridly reach office, blame the traffic of any city for being late at work. Then a list of items to be completed ASAP. For god sake who invented this abbreviation ASAP. Your asap can be my 1 year. ufff. you always have to be in action to prove you are better than the other. If you are late to work you are questioned but if you sit late at work no one questions. A call at the middle of the night to attend to a US counterpart is ofcourse a compulsary one, because they need our help. The issue for which you raised a bug doesnt get any update for 10 days.. ohh cmon the US team is busy.
Sometimes it feels its better to do a job which pays 5-6k and gives less tension.
On top of all these, people assume that corporate pays the best and each of us earn 1 lakh per month sitting in an ac room. God knows what they do in front of a computer all day. They get easy money.
Its aptly said that in life we alwyas try to impress the wrong people, try to prove our worth and end of it all, spoil our peace and our health. Time to realize that we should give our best of everything to family and not work.
I dont know what I wrote, was it hillarious, was it an assumption, was it brutal truth, or was it just an opinion. Whatever it is, though not a very personal one I feel better writing this. I'm sure most of it is true.
