Corporate….

My friend asked me to accompany her to watch this movie. As I had other commitments, could not go for the same. But missed it, as had heard a lot about Page 3, but couldn’t watch it still, and had heard that it was from the same director….

This has nothing to do with the movie, just overflow of thought…

Don’t understand how some people turn out to be managers…o.k. Management, is the art of getting things done by people, but is it the art of throwing out others, if you don’t know how to get it done by them!!! I believe, the strength of true manager lies in getting things done from even the worst person, not only from the best!!! The best person will give his best even otherwise. If you employee a person, and say he is not right, after three months, the primary fault is yours being faulty recruitment. A true manager, should be able to realize if the candidate he selected is right or wrong for the job, with in this time, unless and until, the candidate, is that cleaver, and cunning, with some ulterior motive….

Communication is the link pin, for success in any organization, and when an employee leaves the organization, true fact has to be properly communicated, not in detail, but in a precise way, so that there are no misunderstandings…. or the very foundation would be crumbled.

Everyone needs to feel appreciated and even the busiest of executives will find time to assist a person who respects them and values their advice.

Nobody is perfect in this world, there are shortcomings in everyone, and if we really do care for somebody, we would be broad enough to overlook the shortcomings, and provide a helping hand, to rectify the others mistakes.

Corporate divorce is as painful and traumatic as a marital divorce. The ‘divorce papers’ served as pink slips can leave one feeling totally worthless.

It is even more painful, to give the pink slip, to those who you see have been working well, and to whom you promise that things will be well, when they had been supporting the corporation during tough times, and you are asked to hand over the pink slip to those very people, your own friends….

On getting a new job, there are new hopes, treat is given on receipt of first salary, and nobody expects to leave soon..But then nothing lasts for ever…

Every opportunity is a chance to learn. It is not just important but essential that we look at a job loss as an opportunity. A chance that life has offered you to make yourself more marketable…To look for a possible new turn of events.

After we have come to terms with all matters emotional and practical, it is time to move on. One needs to decide where to go from here. One need not break the daily routine, resist the temptation to sleep late, watch television all day, think of your search for new employment as a full or part-time job. At the same time, enjoy your life by indulging in activities you did not have time for earlier…

The crucial part, at this juncture is Financial Management. You really need to take care of and plan to get yourself through the next several months. Know what your income and expenses are, and for sure, it will reveal possibilities, rather than present restrictions.

Let’s face it; losing a job is always a possibility. So it is better to be prepared for the worst.

Moreover, after having lived your life in a hectic frenzy, assume that this is the break that you very well deserve. A time to relax, ‘To stand and stare’

So is this a lesson to be learned too: Don’t consider anyone in Corporate offices to be your friends??? Is it so???


Thought for the day:
1. ‘Education is the one cure-all for insecurity’-Hugh Jackman.
2. Everybody has a right to happiness and freedom and security and health care and education ….
3. Success is more permanent when you achieve it without destroying your principles.
4. One of the golden keys to happiness and great success is the way you interpret events which unfold before you. There are no negative experiences only experiences which aid in your development and toughen your character so that you may soar to new heights. There are no failures, only lessons.
5. A famous saying spread in IT industry, belived to be by Narayan Murthy, Infosys Chairman, ‘Never love the company you work for, but only your job, for you do not know when the company, you work for will stop loving you.’ But I belive, why hate any one….Let us continue loving the company too…As the song goes….Where is the time to hate…When there is so little time to love….
