Corporate Culture: A Workplace or a Dirty Place?

Most of us today work in the corporate world. Finding jobs today is one of the most difficult tasks ever; forget about jobs in the Government. thus, most of us end up taking corporate jobs, those so-called highly paying jobs and become a part of the ever growing corporate culture! Where once corporate life was considered as the best one, has it remained the same today? Not everywhere!

I have been observing a lot lately the the corporate world is becoming a dirty place, especially for female employees, although not everywhere! A few days before, I was alone at home and the best timepass I could do to keep myself from boredom is to watch TV. And then I switched on to Sony Entertainment Television, the one that airs the classic and one of the best ever crime show Crime Patrol. And there was this episode going on of sexual abuse in the corporate world where a CEO of a company who was named Harish Puri sexually and mentally harasses his newly joined female employee on the pretext of giving her promotion and a good salary with a responsible position in the organisation. Crime Patrol is one show that airs all the real stories and yes, this has been the case with many such young female employees in the country.

And when I recollect the days when I was interning (not mentioning the name of the organisation), I made some handful of male friends just to make contacts in the media world. And each one of them offered to help me and my friend in finding a worthy job followed by that simply irritating common question :Aur milne kab aa rahi hai? (When are you coming to meet me?) I can recollect how frustrated I use to feel every time I heard this question being put up! I mean, today, no damn corporate person is ready to serve you or do good for you without asking for favors. And I do not need to mention what favors are women employees asked for by male counterparts or managers and bosses.

Even today, when I walk past my office, roam around in my corporate business park, I can feel eyes rolling up and down and people watching and checking out female employees. Guys, get a life! The corporate world is meant for working, earning a good amount of salary and developing your personality in the process. You do not come to office everyday merely to stare at girls and women, pass comments and follow them, ask for their information from others and stuff! For all the cheap and desperate guys who do this: A girl mostly ignores what you do because she is focused on her career and doesn't want to indulge into unwanted matters. But when she doesn't speak out, it does not mean that she can't! She can handle such perverts very well, so next time before
you stare and pass comments on female employees, think twice!  

Being mentally unfit…Is it their fault?

Lately, I have been coming across a number of instances of pathetic and immature behavior of people and that too with someone who is mentally unfit. I would, of course, not like to reveal the name but one of my colleagues at work was lately asked to resign since her work was not found satisfactory! And the girl, an innocent girl, was not well. I mean not mentally as fit and sound as we are. I perfectly understand the science behind it..yes, of course, a company looks for its profit so this was justified in a number of ways. But what about the agony that she went through while at work?

Truly guys, it used to disgust me like hell to see people literally make fun of her and her work, people yelling at her unnecessarily and also discussing among themselves. I mean how can someone be so childish to behave in such an immature manner? God hasn’t made everyone perfect; we are lucky to be born so! But if someone isn’t that fit, is it their fault? Don’t they deserve being loved too?

I have literally seen some of my colleagues shouting at this girl and she used to sob, say sorry and what not! And then people also said that she pretends to do not understand things. Why can’t people understand that there can be someone who is not so lucky as we are. Guys, God has been partial; everyone does not get the same store of happiness that others get! Who is to blame in this? Is it the girl’s fault that she isn’t well? Can’t people understand simple things and respect others?

We do not know the future friends, perhaps there can be something of the same sort written in our fortune too! How would you feel if people do this to you? A request for all those who have this gruesome mentality- if tomorrow your children are born so, would you make fun of them? If you cannot be friends with such people, atleast do not disrespect them. Leave them to themselves. Everyone has the capacity to find their way out alone. It just that some take more time!

Friends are the spice of life….literally!

Every Sunday when I log on to Facebook and scroll down my news feed, I see posts about Monday and the long week that occupies. Yes, sure, a week at office with burden of work is boring! But I am among the very few who might proudly say I love going to office. Do you know why? Coz I have some of the sweetest friends in my life who make my day happy and fun at work. And I am sure not all are blessed with such wonderful friends, especially at work!

I have been lucky in this case since I always had some of the best friends to enjoy with at work even at my previous job. Thank you so much +Archana Patil, +Harshada Kadam, +Jitu Mane and +Neetee Mhatre. Being lucky for the second time, I have with me a very small group of friends (actually I barely talk to people at office since most of them are just too much showoff kind). So, here come in my life my sweetest college friend +Aarti Ranpura and the sugary sweet +Aditi Junnarkar. Yes, these two girls make my day everyday; we have laughed together, cried together and enjoyed some of the best funny moments of our life that add spice to the everyday boring work schedule at office.

And then I realize, it is not money that makes life easy and comfortable! Yes, money is important indeed, but, beyond that there are some unexplained relations and people that make life worth living. Whenever I hear people of ending their life, I truly feel blessed to have these worthy people in my life- my parents, my sis and of, course, not to forget, my wonderful friends! All my days spent with you are truly memorable.

Guys, it is a sincere request, never ditch anyone in life simply for money..it will get you nothing! Be polite,,be friendly and your true friends would never let you down. Thank you all..love you!

Friendship

My weekend post dedicated especially for my friends! It is truly difficult to find good friends in life! I am lucky enough though to find all of you who always supported, encouraged and mentored me. To all my college buddies, I miss you a lot! To all my office friends, I would forever treasure we bond we share! You all have always taught me something good and that makes the friendship even better, worthy and priceless. Love you all!
