Few days back I met a guy studying for GMAT and working with a big MNC. So this friend of mine – an extremely bright, intelligent and
hardworking student from back in college joined this firm thinking that its a
big company with thousands of people – and he’ll have every opportunity
to grow and learn there.
He couldn't be more wrong .He was suffering from something I call – “The Big Company Syndrome”.I could relate the same to my experience that in bigger service based companies people
get treated only as resource ,a machine which works on instruction where superiors don’t give a crap about you and you end up being the extreme end of the tail in which everyone above you is trying to please everyone else with boot licking above them and as such, don’t bother with those below them.
A very common occurrence in companies such as these – is having no work and ending up on bench for a long, long time.When you have been hired to work, it hurts not getting any responsibilities …
But the really sad thing is that in such large companies, nobody really cares …
Unless you have a terrific team leader or project manager, you are going to be in the same predicament.
And chances of getting a great superior are very, very low. If you stuck in a similar situation
I would suggest two options :-
Option A : - 1. Type a resignation.
2. Delete all important files or necessary docs from your computer.
3. Walk up to your manager when he is surrounded by co-workers.
4. Tell him what do you think about him.
5. Put the letter in his pocket.
6. Storm out.
Option B : - 1. Stop asking for work.
2.Do the work they give to you – but don’t be too enthusiastic about it – because honestly, nobody cares.
3.In your spare time you have so many things to do such as reading ,blogging and share it for others to use and grow yourself.
I have heard people doing free lancing project while working or blogging and making money out of it.
This is how most large Indian IT firms work and you just have to learn how to work in this system.If you can't adapt to these situation you would end up with all the tension or screw up with your health.
I think bad experiences makes you a better and wiser person than living just a monotonous life.
So when life gives you lemons, just make lemonade yaar!!! :)
