One week is over out of my 8weeks Summer Internship! I joined this organization with lots of enthusiasm and excitement as because this was supposed to be my first true corporate exposure & learning field. Indeed I have learned a lot of things in this little span of time. My enthusiasm is still there and excitement has got converted into eagerness (thanks to my boss, who’s very friendly & is always ready to help me in increasing my knowledge).
Now let me take you to a tour of the workplace or the corporate scenario. Firstly I would like to tell you about the similarity between my office n my institute. We know that in our batch people often get close to the higher authorities by brown-nosing them. Believe me boss, the same thing is applicable here. There are two kinds of people here. One who r progressing in their career through there quality of work n the other who r not much efficient in their work but efficient in brown-nosing n r also get a good career progress. So my boss told me “Abhiroop either impress your boss through your work n capabilities or learn how to be a brown-noser.” She also warned me by saying that the later group cannot last long in the organizational structure.
Secondly, there is a group of people who are more interested in assessing the amount of cooling done by the A.C., quality of the tea provided from the office, space of their work-stations, mobile allowance given blah blah blah….CRIBBERS! Provide them with ”n” number of facilities still they find problems cropping up for them.
Another group of people is there who are silent observer as well as performers too. U will find them indulged in their work all the day n delivering on time. This group consist of mostly the young workforce, either MBAs or C.As.
The most amazing kind of people I have seen here are those who are “actively dis-engaged” ! Whenever u see them, they are very busy. But busy with what? God only knows!
Probably it is because of the third group that the organization is so well known today n is counted as one of the biggest business conglomerate of the country. Provide them with proper air-conditioning or not they dont care, even if all of them are not provided with a laptop, it does not bother them, whether they are to stay back late n come early the next morning, does not make a difference in the work quality. Their sole mantra is WORK n WORK HARDER to accomplish your goal.
Well in this write up I have taken up only the human aspect of the organization as my specialisation is HR, so I have paid attention towards the people of the organization.
Waiting for Nuanse, Mojo-jojo, Daredevil’s feedback n their experience….
