Pathetic week, the last one. Around 200* people got the boot this Thursday and Friday, and thats 200 too many.
What is worse is the dreadful manner in which they were sent off,signing on pre composed resignation letters and later escorted to the gates by some of the HR girls, like criminals at the end of their detention. The chap was then bundled into a waiting car at the gates, with the cabbie having strict instructions to drop their cargo at the addresses mentioned by them without asking any questions.
I am sure they will deduct the cab fees in their final settlement. Security guards were placed on all rooftops , who were not letting anyone near the edges, citing "Wiring work" as the standard reason.
Everyday I go, I open my inbox half expecting the meeting invitation from a veep. Getting that, for lowlifes called common employees, has only one reason. The sack.
Not that I care anymore. Fear can be a motivation for only about a week.
Also, I wonder, shouldnt the non-direct revenue earners be the first ones to go ? Like HR, for example.
Amongst the Friday casualties, was Lovely Smile. This straightaway takes 10% of my motivation of heading to work. And thats quite a lot. I will miss the way LS's smile would light up my few minutes at work. I hope LS gets a better job elsewhere.
And that LS's beaming face will continue to illuminate a few more cubicles, in other, maybe more deserving organisations. :(
* Hearsay!

how many people who have been fired had been "institutionalized" ?? cud lead to some bad things happening...
I totally agree that non-direct revenue earners need to go first.. Google did just that a few days back..
Hope LS decides to pursue higher studies and comes here :) I would do with the extra 10% motivation...
Institutionalized ? Didnt get that part man...
Man, and 10% matter in absolute nothingness is quite a lot. :(
Never mustered enough courage to even smile at LS in places like the lifts and stairs. Heck, couldnt even manage to make discrete inquiries about LS's name.
Will miss the time when LS would walk by to the printer, and I would stop thinking about whatever I was doing at current moment and break in an inner smile myself.
watch shawshank redemption to get the institutionalized part..
its someone whos got so used to something (staying in office) that once he has been relieved he just doesnt know what to do.. and that can lead to bad things..
Man,even I dont know what I would do if I am 'relieved'.
If the non-direct revenue earners go, wouldn't that bring down the motivation too? ;)
PS: If LS is who i think she is...she was just on a leave...the donkey got hyper unnecessarily as usual!
PPS: So she is definitely not pursuing higher studies too...atleast as of now.
Assumptions...Assumptions...
But you are darned right about the non-direct revenue earners.
I mean, atleast some of them... :)
I hadnt thought about it at all.
Not assumptions...they are logical, preinformed, ...ummm...etc... conclusions.
