Me and My Frustrations- This is IT!

I know that I am not in a position to complain, especially when I have a job at one of the best MNCs and drawing a good package and all, but I cant help myself from witnessing the INDIANIZATION of the so called corporate CULTURE.

Every company has devised their own set of rules and policies, to keep the employees under control and to MONITOR discipline within the organization. There are panels at the TOP, which come up with neo-noir policies that hardly makes sense to an average employee. Of course, the terminology used is definitely not helping the poor soul to get a grip on the new RULES. However, we know the bOtTom LiNe, "Thou shall never dare to Question the Methods of the LEADERSHIP! Amen!".

The following is a satire on some of the policies that are violated, and yet are accepted by one and all, as it does not HARM anyone Materialistically.

COMPANY POLICIES eh?? Our stand in this perspective (The Indian Perspective) is "BALLS TO U asses up there"! Who on EARTH gave you the notion that WE, Indians, would give a damn about the rules that you create. We do not abide by them; No sir, not us!

U make a policy asking every employee to give respect to every individual, irrespective of their designation and experience or qualification, yet you fail to see that WE Indians treat our subordinates as subordinates only. Our logic is simple- "How can I respect somebody, who draws less income than me, works harder and does the work that I assign, without questions asked?"

Then you come up with another policy stating that we should take the responsibility of our deeds, good or bad. Are you Insane? "I do not take responsibility for the bad things I commit. I simply like to BLAME my colleagues and the client. On the contrary, IF someone is coming up wid an outstanding module, I will make sure that everybody feels that I too had contributed towards this tremendous work. And if possible, I will claim it mine."

Always follow the company dress policy... ALWAYS! WTH?! "I dont think that rule is meant for me. Its only for my subordinates and I make sure each one of these brats follows this policy."

Do not harass or misbehave or use foul words in any sort of communication or conversation with you peers, colleagues; especially behave yourself when communicating with women. Roflmao... "I will never use foul lingo in the office communicator or mails. And we certainly will not misbehave with ladies, who are not good-looking. While the pretty ones get all our attention and time. what if a few of them are dumb? They can compensate it with their charms. Hence, I cant stop myself from hitting or staring at the office Hotties."

There is nothing as seniority at the time of the Appraisal. Its COMPLETELY performance based... Hehehe, as if...!!! "You want me to promote the guy, who has not even been here for an year? That aint fair. The other guy had been in this company for a while and he acts as my puppet; he is much more ELIGIBLE."

Then comes the ULTIMATE policy, which is TARGETED towards Indians. Treat every employee equally, irrespective of their caste, religion, language and region... Huh?! Now that's against our principles, Indian Principles... "I am a brahmin and I intend to stay with my herd. Do hell with the other castes", "Yaar, these bloody south indians are such shrimps, narrow minded a-holes, God help them.", "Oh My! this guy is not a Hindu, can I trust him?"

These are only SOME of the issues that I have witnessed first hand, during my stint at Hyderabad. I am not saying that ALL of us are this way, but there are a few people like this, all over, yet we simply brush it off, as it ain't anything new to us. Whatever be the company, however big and global their network is today, we Indians, will remain Indians! Jai Hind!
