Most of us would have read "The Nightangle and Rose", a very popular story in our English textbook. In case you missed this one during your school days, its about a Nightangle who pierces her heart with the thorn of a rose plant to create the perfect red rose. The guy in the story picks the red rose and takes it to his sweetheart only to find that he has been dumped by the girl for the richest man in town. The guy throws the red rose away in dejection and the story ends.
Winter of 1987....A young boy of 13 is writing his English Exam. The question asked is "Was the guy right in throwing the rose away? Share your thoughts." Here's what the young boy answers this question as: A few days later the answer sheets are returned....the boy has received full marks on that question but with a remark from the teacher - "Do you think love is a game?". When the boy asks the teacher about it, he is asked to read out the answer to the whole class. After the answer is read out, this is what the teacher says - this guy will go places....he has a practical approach to life. Fast forward to Spring of 1996.March 6, 1996. This was the day when a happy-go-lucky dude was changed forever. Yes, this was the day when Siemens came down to our campus and I found myself as the last man standing as the interviews ended. Its been over a decade now and I am thankful to God for giving me that one day when everything clicked. Since that day, its been four years with Siemens, a five year stint in US with Verizon and now back in India as a Manager with Verizon's offshore setup. Its been one hell of a roller-coaster ride, learning a lot through success and failures through the years. My first try at blogging...... Noticed a lot of people complaining about food served in cafeteria and wondered if people really are so worried about the food or is it the price which is hurting them more. While thinking about it I stepped a bit into CSR territory. This blog was a result of some random thoughts scribbled down in a span of half an hour.... Feel free to drop a line if you find it interesting.....Money’s worth “The food is not worth the price!” This is a common feedback about food, irrespective of the caterer and its reputation. I fully agree with the comments posted by one upset employee. Then my focus shifts to another service provided by our company – Cab Service. Talking of which here are a few random thoughts to chew on for employees utilizing the cab service: - How many times did you tell your cab driver to:
- How many times did you notice the driver talk roughly with passengers? Well in case you are fumbling for a yes or no here, I have an answer. The answer is – why do I care? When we delve deeper into the issue we find that no one cares until and unless your pocket is taking a hit. So here’s the solution. Let’s charge 50 bucks for availing cab service. Here’s what I expect the feedback to be:
OK. Enough of teasing you folks, the cab service is free and will remain complimentary. The point here is that apart from being a hard working employee, being pampered with salary and perks by a MNC; we have a social responsibility too. If all of us make a commitment to make sure to report errant cab drivers, how easy it would be for other co-occupants on the road to drive. Talking of MNCs, I always wonder what if my manager comes by and tells me – “Your work is not worth the price the company is paying”. After all, end of the day every one of us wants their money’s worth. Isn’t it? Sign in to be able to view mnms's guestbook and friends list!
