The corporate play…

One sunny day, you reached the workplace, found you are one of them who are in early. But still the HR has not come! You just start your PC, check some mails and browse some sites. After a small cup of hot tea you start your work. You always do finish your work first.

May be people around you see movies, always on their (i)Phone talking with somebody or chatting continuously on net, but you are not doing it always for a long time.

Some are chain smokers, smoke 15 to 20 cigarettes per day and at least 10 minutes for each cigar. You never smoke, never take extra cup of tea (even not from you vending machine) and never waste time with smokers outside. You never have time to waste if you have work and in free time you read stuff related to your job things. And you never need to post a note "Don't waste your time here if you have" to show others that you are the only one who works most hard.

In the noon, you got into some stuff. And people point out that some are using resources badly. Its fine if it was up to that. It was gone to extent limit and discussed about what had happened previously before you joined the company and got a big black mail of not being fired because of something which was done by the wrong decisions of some people who might have always bad dreams every night and hopeless thoughts about people working very neatly on their things! The person talks about unrelated things and make all of you feel very bad that you are the most wanted fool and they had done greatness to you! Even all things are ok, everything is fine, and the person never appreciated you all. And whom they had appreciated can be their dear one who only does his work! You all have been told to do things which are not related to your profile whenever you are free, rather than improving your skills in your area! At least everybody needs some appreciation if the work is fine without any big problems. But you can't hope it. Huh, I know this is very long but you will understand it :). May be every one of you have been through this situation.

You can't believe it because the person, who should do things like making business and the company big growing venture, is doing funny and irritating things. If big companies, who were not big when started, always have thought like this then they never grown big. I think this is not bad for the people but bad for company. Because no one will be in if such things are known to the world!

Some people thought that things are ok. And they always say right about the person. May be as others thinks they can be close to or favorite ones of the person! Or maybe they are given rewards for this only! They believe in showing every small thing to the person, showing themselves as good and excellent. Yes it’s good to show your goodness but it’s bad to show others as fool or bad worker even if you are not as good as him!

It’s never been liked being rude to your colleagues and playing a game of betrayals, but corporate is corporate. We all have to face such things. But everything has its limit and every dong has his day. Today may be it is someone's day but may be you will get a chance. But the hope of 'all things will be well' is what everyone thinks. Hope its truth, but i don't think so. You have to do something and change it.

God bless all and give all of you the power and strong thoughts to think something which can be helpful to you and others also.

As a soft developer, i got something for you.

How to pass time if u have nothing to do?

1. Read something which can helpful to u ( remember only u ) upto your limit.
2. U can't fwd mails...so...read old mails...even the official ones...read all words...read words which seniors use and learn new english words...think on every email (even u no ther is no meaning in it)
3. Shutdown and restart ur mobile. keeping it on silent, check every five minute that is any sms or call?
4. U can't browse right? ya but you can use updates. Update every legal software u use. IDEs,Editors etc. Find new softwares free or Open source and download them. Suggest to ur frnds and system people also.
5. Rear worthless documents,specs and usecases ( may having brown background and black font). u already no it all and all screenshots are worthless, having description which means nothing and using so hopeless english. Try to find mistakes in that and find grammer and spelling mistakes and get it resolved.
6. Check complex scripts (javascripts,shell or batch) and try to do something new in it.Test it on ur local and give to others also.
7.Call ur sideby frnd and talk with him on local ext.
8. Create a conference in local messanger and talk worthless things like SDLC,Specs and UI and etc...
9. Talk, create meetings on technologies and don't let the person do it.Ask him so many questions and never agree with him on any point. This can strech the meeting.
10.This is last thing to do. Off ur PC and reboot. And tell system people that performance is bogus. speed lowered etc.
