Nice rainy chilled out noon, actually only the weather outside was nice. Inside my office, it was a weird situation and cannot call this tensed, but yes a weird one for sure. It was the last working day for a bunch of colleagues and as per unspoken rule, the person quitting treated others. Funny!!!! Treating when you are quitting, oh… I think this is one of the happiest moments in their life…. “Quitting an Organization”
Are Employers listening???? Resigning makes people treat other who hold on, or rather are forced to hold on...….. Oh No!! I am not writing about our IT culture- QUIT to GROW and all, everyone knows it and probably very well. It is something different from this……
Imagine, a Stormy night you and your co-workers are trapped in an island and the sea is eating up the island. This island, almost submerged in waters would be discovered again someday after millions of years.
SIREN……”Last Ship for the day”, calls captain from the ship, storm completely blows out the sound coming out of the loudspeakers, almost muting it. In such situations, people need not be told what to do, it comes out involuntarily...…. However while every co-worker of yours is leaving the island, you are forced to hold on & stay on the island as if you are committed to living on it all your life, or it could be that your legs are buried deeply into the abyss of the island due to the CURSE and uprooting yourself would be disastrous to humanity. Everyone sympathises with you and gives you expressions like, the poor fellow is so badly trapped and would also die in this trap. Some of them even dare and call your name in the storm and ask you to join them. Helplessly you refuse all such offers and mention to them about your curse. Somewhere deep inside you know that there is someone who can free you of this CURSE, no it’s neither a Frog nor a Prince and it’s neither the Whale keeping Sea scene in mind. “Let out this one secret and you can’t get out of it” would be the closing words of the curse…… Everyone around you is leaving; you will be left all alone with the Sea, whose company you hate to the core….. All the trees, bushes, homes are slowly disappearing in the Sea. Sea, rushing towards you with all its speed and power, you are half gulped and waiting for another half to be eaten soon….. Far across the sea the Last Ship and your co-workers are still visible, every expression on each face is 100 times more dreadful then this Sea troubled by Storm. Everyone you know has something to tell you, to get you onto the ship…. But (Stubborn you – What others felt of you), you are really helpless, cannot accompany them in this journey of life and chose to die on this island. Island, who’s only proof of existence, is your face and head, still visible in the stormy night waiting to be eaten by the SEA….
OH MY GOD!!!, this, not the way I feel when my colleagues quit the job and I am still stuck at the same boring project, to be honest, I think would have…. But the situation here is completely different…..
This was how I was treated, when a colleague treating everyone on the floor on his last day, forgot to invite me for the lunch party ...
