firing fever

27th july 2006, the day means a lot for some 2k3 junta from NIT Jsr.It was the day when IBM India pvt. ltd visited this campus for the first time & 39 students (including me)were selected as 2007 joinees.It was the day of celebrations especially because most of the student selected were well known figure of clg (ofcourse for different reasons)
But the same day now most of them are regretting for.Reason is the most talked about feature of this MNC - Firing at a mass level.Now a days most ELTPs have noothing else to do other than talking about this.All you can get out of discussion an updated number of fired ELTPs.I can't understand how they are getting exact numbers untill there is a disclosure from company itself.Special blogs are being created just for creating panic among ELTPs.I regularly visit the orkut community for 2007 recruits in IBM not because i am afraid of being out of the company,but to see how useless ppl can be here to believe in fake statistics.
The very first time i came to know about this number of fired person over a phone call from one of my college friends.After working through out the night i was in deep sleep,then the stupid irritating ringtone of my cell started piercing into my ear.I said hello without opening my eyes,i wasn't knowing whose call it is?(Sometimes this practice creates problems also... once i responded SUSAN's (the BPops girl from USA) call with HAAN BOL).After hearing the voice i got it is Praveen.He asked me about updates of firing figure.At that time i hadn't got any news so i asked him back & got 15 from Kolkata,7 from Pune & 427 from Bangalore.A laymen also can say that the last one can't be true if others are.When i asked about the source of B'lore news, i got Priyanka's name.Well it was enough for me to believe that this figure can't be right.
So mails are being forwarded,people are calling everyone to be united & raise their voices.But is it going to change anything ? am afraid to say NOpe.They have got a perfect reason or you can say they have a perfect masque to hide their ulterior motive.Whatsoever reason may be....the thing is.. you can't escape from competition, everywhere it keeps coming in different forms..here again you can't afford to be in the trailing lot of your competency.Darwin's law for existence (Natural selection) is valid everywhere.
I am not worried as i always think its useless to be anywhere if you need to worry about throwing out of that.After my placement itself it was my reaction against the doubt of Shunny Raj (well i don't remember a moment i have called this guy with this name ever in college... its true distance can sometime create respect also other than long phone bills) that how much of person joining IBM will survive in it.Well i still say the same line i am not here fighting for my existence rather am fighting for being on TOP.
I may not be sure about otherthings but one positive outcome of this event, am sure of is, sudden emerged Unity among ELTPs.I remember it almost the same as at the time of delay in joining.All communities of IBM on Orkut used to be filled with these posts.In my previous post What makes us special in IBM i had mentioned a number of things,but missed this feature.Without this list can't be completed, so here it is...
Well you have to be prepared for any thing strange like these as long as you are in a special company like International Business Machine.Its all about Business honey...

I love night shift

I don't know why everything is so perfect in my life.It has never been like this before.Days were never so cool & night never so quite, its like euphoria.
You must be thinking what's so special happening in this freak's life.There is nothing special but i am enjoying my time.Now a days my company has shifted my shift from semi-night to complete night & this is driving me crazy.I don know why people used to get scared of this shift may be they don't know the right way to utilize what have or simply due to their complaining mentality.I have a simple funda of life...when nothing going right in your life pretend them to be right from other perspective.Believe me it can turn your life up & you will seriously start enjoying it.
Okay now i am working in night shift, so what special in this shift.So my friends you have a number of benefits of this shift,which you can avail specially when you are in a cool company like IBM.One important thing i am not saying that i am availing all the benefits coz its not a wise decision to accept anything here (as some of my colleagues can find me here).So here are what can be done while you work in this shift here.
* 400 bucks for every working day.
*100 bucks for dinner
*Personal cab facility
*Complete silence
* can enjoy your songs at full volume
* can watch movies & TV series online
* can use ladies rest room (hehe)
*can open your shoes & even socks..to feel like home
*none can disturb you by pinging all the time
*Less load of work
*can reduce your working hour to 6 also.
*No cappuccino so no harm to health
*Can put your legs on chair,desk,or anywhere possible.

Some time if you are lucky can get Enlightenment as Budhdha got under VATAVRIKSHA & as i did in front of computer (this time i am leaving you people puzzled over this Enlightenment topic).
