My organisation had its annual once-in-year performance based salary appraisal and I was considered for the annual once-in-year performance based appraisal. On the big day I was informed by the benevolent management that they have considered my performance and decided that they can't promote me. I prayed God to save me from 'How recession is affecting us?' lecture and God did not disappoint me.
The management told me that they have considered my performance and have reached the conclusion that I am not a good writer. They informed me that how I got recruited in a publishing company as a junior author is mystery to them and they are plugging loopholes so that only people with a professional degree can get to write in their organisation.
They made clear that only a CA has enough brains to be an author and an MBA must be happy to format whatever a CA has written.
The appraisal ended with the management providing me guidance on writing. They told me that to improve my writing skills, I must get a professional degree. It will also help them accept that I can write. I considered their advice and thanked God. At least my job is unaffected by recession.
To sum up
Learn as if you are going to live forever
Live as if you are going to die tomorrow
Work as if you are going to quit tomorrow
So - you are a writer - in a publishing company - and you have a real subtle sense of humour - keep it up!
Lol just goes on to show management is always full of crap and they only do one thing that is shit from the top
As for me if i had a publishing company you would be top bracket author 
so u must learn much ,live to the fullest and work the least coz u may leave tomorrow —–
“They made clear that only a CA has enough brains to be an author and an MBA must be happy to format whatever a CA has written.” I showed this post to one of my MBA colleague and she approved with this statement of yours very much.. As per my response to your post, you are keeping up to my expectations…
I think I have kind of learnt to live by those lines at the end. I quit my job before they could tell me it was time to go. They couldn”t have kicked me out before that time had come though. Govt. jobs are not glamorous , but they sure are a lot more secure. This is phase , I guess and as there is no such thing in life as a permanent situation, these times too will pass by.
very well said….
who is your management??…are you sure about what you write?????…ha ha ha
One swallow does not make a summer … wait this same management will promote you when the cycle turns around a bit! The most valuable asset ”the human asset” is not handled in the right perspective!
Learn as if you are going to live forever, Live as if you are going to die tomorrow, Work as if you are going to quit tomorrow…… good one
so you must be hating CA’’s. Those last three lines are the correct way of living. There should be no space for insecurity.
You are a good writer. The management just manage the people who do the work, they dont jump into the work…….Prove yourself and you are admired…..The conclusion was excellent….Waiting for more.
Lurved your conclusion. Hang in there
i feel for you - poor Arren - yes - some people have to have a title to be “able to write” but some have got a title and nobody understands what the intend to “teach(?????)” us - so let them think the way they wish to think and just pursue your way - keep on blogging here
