how cud i miss on to HIT FM.. n my fav RJ - Sarthak !!!
Lets make this "51 things i miss abt NCR n my perfect li life" .. n Letme squeeze in Sarthak's show "Hit Mornins"... i miss the show a LOT !!!

Uniform Pay cuts OR Lay Offs ??!!

Since my boss never fails to make me realize constantly that im an “under paid, over worked labour” and the nature of my job never fails to make me realize that most of the companies want to hire employees to fit into this “quote”. I am bound to question the nature of hiring in these turbulent (RECESSION) times.
U would differ n ask “Hiring” in this season… ???? n I would yes boss.. MASS HIRNG this season, cheap resources off the shelf !!! At the mercy of the foolish recruiters and more foolish company management.
(These are personalized comments, totally based on my… should I say it ? Lets say it anyway… crappy yet learning experiences in my current company.)

So the question asked in one of the chat shows on radio, which I was subjected to hear by default, since I commute through the new “AC” cab of my office, whose movement I need to monitor at work too(why lord why).
The Cabbie is obsessed with radio and will put all the stations when they aint playing any music. So in one of these cab “home drop” trips I encountered the question, around which the discussion was originally intended to be.
Theeee vicious brain teaser “Uniform Paycuts OR Firing??!!”
Hmm… good question… the RJ required a plain black n white answer to this unrealistic question, also to the extent of getting pissed if some listener gave a midway answer or a gray answer.
Strange.. The freedom, liberty OR should I say “creative license” these RJs practice on various shows I have heard on delhi stations.

Coming back to the question…
Argument in favor of No Uniform Paycuts is that why a “good performer” should pay for “lower performers” Valid Argument.. Since we all work our arse off in corporate world, just plain n simple – FOR US !!
Its as simple as that.
But the argument in favor of No Lay offs is that companies, management, ‘managers’ specifically take an undue advantage of the situation called “. Employees are taken for grant and are laid off may be for all the wrong reasons like- not sucking up to the boss, not being popular among the right crowd, or may be worse for being a straightforward blunt guy. In many firms it is internally observed that yes… layoffs have got nothing to do with your work performance, its all gotta do with your suck up performance to the senior management.

The truth being.. that a lot of things happen in the top/ toppest management of every organization, may it be large or mid size.. which is beyond the principles of “humanity” or “humility”. Employees are treated like replaceable furniture and whenever the management feel like a renovation … they can try all the tools to renovate their resource pool. Tools may be either “Lay off” OR “salary cut” as they both are going to result in high number of attrition!!! and the renovation automatically is taken care off.
There is no black and white answer to this question, in the first place why does a mere employee suffer in these recession times? Nobody anyway didn’t consider him when a wrong businees deal was being made, Nobody anyway didn’t consider him when top managers were given 100% hikes! Nobody anyway didn’t consider him when the company spent on all the things it shouldn’t have spend on.


The simple solutions, all the paycutts/ slashes on the topper management, mid level employees should be given enough notice (with due salary)to search for jobs (if in case there is no job at all for them) before they are laid off. Uniform salary cutts, not a total yes from my end as it doesn’t solve the problem only creates more distrust and disgust in the employees once who were important but they are just expensive old wooden furniture ready to be replaced by new cheap fiber furniture.

2 may 2009….
Damn this month…this day.. too diffcult… to handle.. the heat .. the smoke right in your face.. your internet wont work properly.. your cooler will not cease to spit water at your face !!!
Your face…… in your damn ugly face !!!
Grunge… pheww…
This post of mine will come in complete disgust and confusion and complete unadulterated humility to me and the complete human kind.. did u notice the usage of the term ‘complete’ thrice rather for darn four times in one sentence.. that’s what I meant.. writing in humility !!!
I have been trying to write a post on “Uniform Paycuts OR Firing ??!!” which still carries a board in “CAPS LOCK” –“ UNDER CONSTRUCTION” !!!
Before that I just need to take out all that is juggling in me.. out here.. on these white sheets….
The joy of writing with a pen on plain white paper is incomparable.. the joy of drawing with your own hands.. smudging your fingers in plain serenity of paint.. finding your clothes with the paint spots, all at the wrong places..
The joy of plain simple things.. the problem with getting to extreme heights is that you fall bak real soon.. n then you are so sluggy abt it… hey… I made a new word.. “sluggy”
I love myself !!!

The wall is hitting me and im closing this post…

i cudnt resist it...

As my good fren quotes .. me as a “pseudo rock fan”… I would like to reinforce his faith through this post… that yes.. I am a proud quote pseudo rock fan unquote.
After a hard day of sleepin…. ridin,,, aloe vera massage.. pizza lunch n dark temptation dessert… I felt so tired… that .. I had to find solace within myelf.. n my music.. as the universal forces had decided this post had to happen.. I was magically.. led to miraculously finding nirvana palyin in random playlist selection.. I realized I was destined to write this n make my little contribution in appreciation of the lord.. who ruled this world with the name of “kurt cobain”…. The invincible, indomitable… king of grunge rock.. who made what grunge rock is !!!!
N nobody.. can make rock sound.. like the way he does or he did.. never ..to return.. but his timeless quest to make music . which came right outa his heart.. n soul was worth it !!! the sheer charm of pain.. n the depth of the darkness he brought along with him .. was an enlightenment for millions.. people .. his fans.. followers.. found paths through his confusion.. they felt they were not alone .. and that what makes him great his works greater.. is the fact that .. his open ended lyrics.. his loud but deep music and the beauty of “free interpretation”.. its poetry.. to luk at it from one point of view.. either u’ll know it through… or you’ll have no clue….
While browsing the images for nirvana.. I found this picture that im tagging along..(i cudnt resist it )
Only ppl… worshiping nirvana.. n loving simpsons.. cud have a look n laugh out loud , jus like I did ;0 ;)

Tip from my side… when ur head hurts or ur heart shakes…
Put on ur head phone… play “Lithium” in full volume.. u’ll know wats comin close to heavenly hell is….


Peace Out for Tonite ;) ;)

hello...

it was pure non dedication to my new little blog that led me to write now.. at this hour..
the hour i m suppose to hit the bed so that i can hit the office the coming day.. all life is reduced to is "office" and then the ever so much talked about "weekend".. which in most of the cases goes n sleepin...window shoppin or downloadin movies.. n consuming the weekdays watching them..

lifes all about a lot of things at one given time.. that sometimes its best to be a schizophrenic !! ahan.. this time i spelt it right in the first attempt(god.. i sud b ashamed to b a psychology student) ahh.. a self proclaimed one !!! i wud rather always wud like to b a student all the time dont have to deal with a lot of knowing or pretending to be knowing... :P:P
hmmm... so im listin to john mayer's somethings missing.. ironically.. n its a fact is that ... evry recent alternate music artist song that i ve liked is... in 99% cases a cover version !!!
like W.H.Y... like i heard a sting's version of sumthingd missin.. sumtime back on radio..
aahh... radio a great invention for mankind.. n a great discovery for my generation.. radio brought us back to same old simple fun of listin to music with ears.. lettin us lose and off the constraints of video or visual content.. which many a times kills a song,,,, takin away the sanity .. of the sound of the song.. sound.. sound of ... of silence...

i have no title for this post.. n no cool conclusions in the end to keep the minds tickin.. .. . . .

aint blogs journals... y not??

sleepy lazy weekends can lead to more of them...
the street lights can take the place of the moon.. the moon will shy away as the neon will blind it too...

the day was as bright as the next neon arnd ur block... towards its end.. there came nice tea sessions and the witnessing of great spoilt behaviour of bratty kids(makin me feel jus not thre)
the thing abt growin up is that u dont wana grow old n take up responsibilites... u know if thre would be any award for greatness at randomness i would win it for sure...
ill b the first nomination and the first winner..
u know wot... every winner need not be first all the time, rather most of the times;);)
so coming to the point.. y cant people blog for the sake of journal writing...
wats the diffrence... ideally .. people get motivated to write jus outa urge to talk out ...
the task of writing to please should be left for writers.. the professional business...
Blogging ideally as per me ..is pure means of puttin ur mind / heart out on the platter... cooked or brunt just like the way u want it.. not brewed for suiting some followers taste n fancies...
