If you are going to read this article, chances are more you end up thinking this is one of those posts and articles on the internet .
Let me assure you this is a one in a million articles where you don't find any similarity at all with the regular rants. Leading to the end of the page will definitely leave you wondering. It is a real-life account and a little introspection.
Is it my fault to invite danger in the first place*#*
But why write it as an article? I like to present things in a new light with much better insights.
Like any MBA graduate who spends a lot of money to get a degree and wish to land a good job with great expectations. I did the best of my abilities to face up to 30 companies 12 interviews to be qualified to get a job and ultimately got one.
After getting the job " It was difficult to judge whether I am happy or not. I am not happy for a number of reasons.
1) They just want you to jump the gun.
2) Not given a proper reporting manager for 18 days.
3) Observed that working culture is not a proper fit for me.
4) Micromanagement issues.
5) I have not seen one happy employee working there.
6) Only the receptionist is a happy guy there.
7) Work is not fun but a rust.
8) My own mindset which is at unrest.
It has ended up being a short-lived happiness for me, After working there for a week, I tried my best adjusting to the unfriendly environment, I have sensed I am not going to work there for very long.
I thought I was bringing a positive value addition to being cheerful and assertive. It was massively misunderstood as brash and arrogant personality.
No proper work facilitation, I have to go to the HR and ask him daily sir no work for me and I can not sit around idle. It went on like this for one more week.
Ultimately one fine day new HR head calls me for a talk and he told me "He will give me a project to prove my self for one week " I welcomed it with a greater joy".
Things did not go very well and I again went and spoke to him where is the catch, and the next day an HR personal comes to me and asks me for a resignation on personal grounds.
Well, I put up a week fight in telling him that " anybody worth his salt will not resign just because someone asks for it ". explained to him, that situation is pretty much murky.
But then the guy tells me to leave for the day as there no work to delegate.It took a day for me and I sat alone there staring at the monitor for very long.
That was the moment I decided to leave the organization and go back home forever, this time I have taken a positive stance in tandem with the management " that is to give in "
That day I have submitted my resignation there I was the happiest employee who will be leaving the organization with a happy face and gave a warm send off to all the team personnel I was working with.
A key personality trait that was discarded in the organization's point of view is a Management Trainee's fearless attitude.
Often so many times Organizations tend to focus on people who are blunt clerks but not people who are constructive in nature, they start on a rigid note that a Management Trainee has no saying in the management.
They forget to see "culture is not a rigid framework but an assimilative summation of growing values. It always and ever dynamic in nature.
Management is not about rules but getting the job done, How can anybody forget this by his or her self-delusion.
Last but not the least, we do not realize our self-worth by succumbing to constraints and barriers.
When an employee leaves an organization with a happy face and a lot of confidence, please realize there is something seriously wrong with the organization too.
My name is Srinivas, I am looking for people who are likeminded and confident in their demeanour, Organization I had left is V2 retail limited.
I write articles about retail, design, marketing, branding and organizational change.
Some of them tend to annoy and provoke you, that is the main intent. please don't close your thinking loop.
Please empathise and share this article as you may deem fit.
to challenge the status quo is the main theme.
to make you think and lend a different perspective to the story is second.
