Office-Office (Fiction of Facts)

Our website http://manojsharmajee.blogspot.com/ did a survey on “Five most common things, you may find in every office”.

The below fact are based on input from 70 companies and 2000 employees. The numbers are more accurate for IT companies, but same fact holds good for all other industries as well (the number may differ industry to industry and project to project).

The employees are divided in two segments. So decide which segment you fall and make use of suggestions made by experts (“What you should do?”). It will help you to take right decision for your career.

So here is the five most common things you may find in every office.

1) Lick Mill Express: The employees who lick boss’s ass and get express benifits.

What you should do?
a) If you are member of Lick Mill then keep doing it. You must thank god, as it’s a god-gifted skill.
b) If you are step-child of Lick Mill Corp, then don’t have any jealousy for Lick Mill folks, because it’s a soft skill, which you can never develop (GOD GIFT).

2) Fake hard working folks: work for long hours and weekend, OR work especially when and where it’s not needed.

What you should do?
a) If you belong to other segment (or smart working) then finish your work and also work assigned to fake hard-working guys, otherwise later in the project you may end up working more to clean-up mess created by these fake hard-working folks.
b) If you are hard working then keep working hard and on weekends, don’t forgot to send emails in late nights/odd hours, it will help you to achieve your career goals (OBVIOUSLY NOT HELP IN GROWTH OF ORGANIZATION, BUT WHO CARES?).

3) Sunshine Folks: In any organization OR projects, on average 30 percent employees do the real work, rest 70 percent employees are called sunshine folks. These folks called sunshine as they get most of the benifits (award wining performance).

What you should do?
a) If you belong to 30 percent segment then work like a donkey and accept it as your fate. And do what you are good at (code etc), never try to move to sunshine segment, because you are not made for it, and you are definitely going to fail even if you try to do so.
b) If you belong to 70 percent then keep getting the credit for others hard work, and enjoy your life as you do in every project/org, it’s due to your good karma of last birth.

4) The stingy colleagues: These colleagues will often come with you for lunch and dinner, but they will make you pay for their expenses.

What you should do?
a) If you are victim then pay bill this time as well, and think this payment is not going to make you poor and other guy rich. Your status in society and bank balance is going to be remain same, before and after payment of this food bill (Your Status: MIDDLE CLASS SALARIED EMPLOYEE).
b) If you are at other side then keep enjoying your free meal and be happy. Although your status is going to be remain same (Your Status: CHEAP MIDDLE CLASS SALARIED EMPLOYEE).

5) Super Boss: Folks on lead position but present themselves as CEO of your organization.

What you should do?
a) If you know such person just ignore them, because these kind of folks found in every company and civilizations. You should not think of leaving the organization due to such folks, as you are going to face same challenge in next organization too.
b) If you think you are the super boss and you doing it to get respect from people work underneath you, then just read the below quote:
“Respect is something you have to earn, not ask or expect”.

Add your suggestion in comment box. We ‘ll include your suggestions as well and give it HR of all the companies to make it part of their employee induction program. Lets make the world better place to work.
