?? Future Of Work
Future-proof your career in 2023
By fostering a culture of learning and embracing #AI as a collaborative tool rather than a #threat to #JobSecurity, businesses can unlock the full potential of AI while empowering their employees to thrive in an AI-driven future.
The #headcount is connected to #billings in #ITservices Companies. ... Although, it is not as if that #money ever comes to the #employees…
If you set aside all that, the actual technology work carried out by people at the lower ranks could easily be done by #GenerativeAI coding. There is very little creative work involved. It is all about maintenance and patching legacy systems for large clients. And, logically, that is the easiest thing to replace.
Shareholders will start asking questions as to why are you paying 400 people, when an AI system can do it at a hundredth of the cost.
Workplace Culture
86% of employees state that they plan to leave their jobs in the coming six months citing toxic bosses, hostile work environments, and low wages their reason shows Harappa Insights report
Work From Office ?? Work From Home / Remote Work
By the way, I'd like to thank you for the wonderful birthday wishes, it means a lot. :)
#RemoteWork - This particular topic is close to my heart, so.., here's just a Birthday Wish: #FlexibleWork Option - Flexibility of Permanent / Maximum #WFH / Remote Work For All the conscientious employees who deliver more Value than those who just Visit Office ~ #WFO.
I know, some battles are not worth fighting, especially with someone too powerful! So, instead of repeatedly wasting time and efforts on an Inconsiderately biased, Never-ending debate, I just simply Wish that progressively, more and more New-age Employers / Startups / Entrepreneurs / Customers would be Wholeheartedly willing to embrace this Time-tested, Positive Change, and Focus on the Factual Value being delivered, irrespective of the Employee's Work Location.. And "Where there's a will, there's a way.", you know!
WFH => I'd be ready for any kind of surveillance - CCTV / Apps...
Satellite Workplace within commutable distance => I'd work from office, Full Time, 5 days a week, even on Weekend, and even ready to share reasonable expenses, iff needed.
Occasionally, if absolutely necessary, traveling for WFO is also fine.
But inconsiderately unjust coercion for WFO for All is absolutely intolerable!!
Being the only Son to my parents, I/we cannot relocate to the Office Location, in order to take best care of my Parents and Family, and they'd be happiest in our Hometown only.
So, for instance, for 3 days a week - WFO, Every month, it'd cost me nearly 50 hours (for traveling) and 15% of salary (for the expenses) and immeasurable frustration { because I hate waste of time, but I ain't got No Choice (Except #resignation) } .
and.. I'm really glad to know that some of the Highly #Talented Employees from #Apple, #Amazon, #Google etc. also #believe it's Counter-productive.
Apple is reportedly facing heat from some employees who feel that the company's mandatory rule to work from the office three days a week is counter-productive.
"Amazon must keep pace with a changing world. To cultivate a diverse, world-class workplace, we need real plans to tackle our climate impact and flexible work options,”
the protest group wrote on Twitter.
#Google's decision to include badge checking and attendance in performance review has left employees disappointed and frustrated, who as per a CNBC report believe that the management is overreaching in its oversight of physical attendance.
Another highly rated meme said,?
“check my work, not my badge."
???'Don't fall into the trap...' Infosys' Narayana Murthy warns against Work From Home and moonlighting
#India needs a #culture of #honesty, no #favouritism, quicker decision making and hassle free transactions to prosper as a country said #Infosys co-founder N R Narayana Murthy on Thursday.
“#Productivity is hampered because we lose a lot of #time in the commute which would have otherwise been devoted to completing some course,” a mid-level employee at #TCS told TOI.
The Way Forward
IMHO, more importantly, Mostly:
+ Unparalleled, Unrestricted Practical Experience across Entire SDLC : From zero to deploy.
+ Far better Growth in terms of Compensation, Roles and Responsibilities.
+ More Focus on Pertinent Technical Competencies.
+ Nearly no heavy burden of Extraneous / Non-technical / Process / Compliance related stuff.
+ No legacy / support projects / ancient tech stack.
+ Better, Genuinely Caring Work Culture. Your voice is heard and Quickly acted upon.
领英推荐
+ Your efforts and contributions are Genuinely Valued commensurately and in a timely manner.
- Probably with certain drawbacks like no PF / other incentives / facilities and occasionally Heavy workload, bumpy ride etc.
...
But initially, as a Fresher, One's primary target ought to be Continuous learning & improvement, and become expert in his/her area of interest, as fast as s/he can. ?
Then keep pushing your limits, continuous upskilling and stay relevant. ??
? High Performance: Delivered.
And then, ideally, you shouldn't even Have to Ask for what your Rightfully Deserve, Management should take best care of you. ??
Perspectives
My two cents:
?? As a metaphor, in a Cricket Team, why don't we have ALL the All-rounders (Equal) ?!
Everyone has his/her own Unique Role to play, to Win, as a TEAM; Nobody is Forced to become a Batter / Bowler / Wicket-keeper / All-rounder etc.
It's about Team's Requirements and One's Choice and Expertise. If you wanna play, you gotta be a Team Player. Simple as that!

?? Why focus too much on gender-equality ?!
As appropriate, and Mutually, Happily agreed upon, Focus ought to be on what One brings to the Table (Irrespective of Gender / Community etc.) and most importantly, avoiding any unfair, unethical discrimination / favoritism... and ultimately accomplishing Team / Organizational Goals.
?? Technology
In the hands of a creative developer, #ChatGPT has what it takes to be a helpful coding tool. But generative AI may soon attain the capability to act as more than an assistant.
There is also a risk that #SoftwareDevelopers will become too dependent on the AI tool and lose the desire to develop #ProgrammingSkills through literature, courses, scientific articles, and workshops.
...
However, amidst growing concerns about big tech companies selling private information and increasingly common #DataBreaches, some tech professionals worry that sophisticated AI tools will eventually expose and monetize the proprietary IP, without developers even knowing it. In this scenario, software engineers advise protecting the most valuable code assets by switching to privately hosted repositories.
?? Leadership
The #purpose of this #challenge is not one-upmanship or #competition or headline hunting. It is a challenge to ourselves -- to push the frontiers of technology for #NationBuilding. I’ve always believed that AI is not “artificial” intelligence –- it is “augmented” intelligence.
"This bears reference to a recent social media report. Basis a preliminary enquiry in the matter, the concerned employee has been suspended and an investigation initiated to gather all relevant facts. We at #HDFCBank have a zero tolerance policy for any form of harassment or misconduct at the workplace and firmly believe in treating all our employees with dignity and respect," the bank statement read.
?? Huge Respect!
In its annual report, TCS said the increase in the managerial remuneration for the year was 13.58 percent. And, the percentage increase in the median remuneration of employees in the financial year is 5.11 percent, it said.
?? Markets
It's been 15 months since Jerome Powell embarked on one of the most aggressive policy campaigns ever.?
After much pain and a brutal bear market, the S&P 500 has erased all of the losses from the past year and then some.
BSE Midcap and BSE Smallcap hit all-time highs, pushing the overall market-cap of BSE-listed firms to record high levels, despite the benchmark Sensex falling over 150 points. The US Fed's hawkish pause and projection of two rate hikes in 2023 has impacted market sentiment.
To wrap it up, though the world might witness financial problems in the coming years, probably because the recession is part and parcel of an economic cycle, the great financial crisis of 2008 was a phenomenon in itself and is most likely not going to occur again.
Happy Investing!
