IF YOU SCREW WITH ME… I’M GONNA FUCK UR LIFE !
Never Forget That The Foot You Stand On Today Can Be The One to Kick Your Ass Tomorrow…
I asked :-
Could you tell me where do we have to come today?
Client Site or Seepz.
I am at Client Site right now and nobody is replying the phone in office.
Please let me know asap so I could start my work effectively.
He replied:-
I think you better start behaving properly with responsibility. You dont have any right to make such statements. I dont think there is no doubt where you have to reach.
So, I replied him :-
Let me get directly to the point.
Please tell me where was I wrong when I asked ‘where should I come?’ If an employee is sitting in Client Site, which is closed for more than half an hour(as it was holiday at client site) and he has just lost his cell phone(as everybody knows the case) and wants to know where they will be working that day, what is he supposed to do? As there was nobody around to ask I couldn’t stop thinking if we had to come to SEEPZ. It was only when a few people from Client Site itself got into office that I could enter. The first thing I did was to make calls on the office numbers that I remember. When I didn’t get any reply, I dropped a mail. I didn’t want to waste my time at a place if my colleagues were to work at some other. That could only lead to loss of productivity and wastage of an employee’s time.
I don’t understand why your reply needed to be so curt when all I did is ask you with complete humbleness.
Was I mistaken by letting you know about my whereabouts?
Even when we are giving more than what is required by us, is there a doubt we are not committed to the project given to us? Though we are sitting on our chair working more than 11 hours daily and putting all our hearts into it, is there any doubt left that we do, or think, otherwise? Nobody asked me to stay till midnight when it was confirmed our new module was going to SIT within two weeks. And I am saying this not to tell you how much I worked or did not. I believe in my work and my contribution towards achieving the organization’s goals! That is what our organization pays me for.
I guess, my perception that seniors have the insight of who is doing what, was wrong. Is it because I don’t market myself properly to show or boast what I did and what I can do? I see many people sharing their gasconade all the time even when they have so much potential to really do it, yet they remain pretentious personalities. The funny thing is, they are always given a good rating. Well, that’s a completely different issue and I don’t want to get into it in anyway.
Is it written in any of our company policy that we should sacrifice all our personal life for a project that was merely supervised by someone during development?
Then at the eleventh hour, all just seem to suddenly wake up from their hibernation. Even after doing so much, if I get to know someone is talking absurd things and making accusations behind my back, should I still believe in that person and look up to him as my role model?
If politics need to be played, I don’t want to be a part of it. What I really can’t get is why do people hold on to personal grudges, if any, and mix it with professional work.
Can’t they be kept as two separate things if we have to work as a team?
There are more than 700 IT firms in India and if I were here just to earn money I could have been in any other of those 699 firms. FYI, I did not need this job but I wanted it! Only because I trusted in the name of Tatas. Is it that “Respect For Individuals” is just some random slogan picked up and added to the list of values that our company admires and constantly tries to achieve?
It is good, no doubt, to have a manager for every project who is responsible for getting the job done but it is far better to have a altruistic manager who works taking everybody along with him. It is only when an employee is given some professional courtesy that he gets the vibes of a good professional and friendly environment which makes him stay in the same organization, loyal and committed.
