A frustated Engineer at his job...!!!

This is the story of my friend Raman, who worked in a multinational company in Gurgaon. He joined the company in the campus placements when this company had come for recruitments in the college. Here, i present his conversation with his bosses that shows the height of frustation in Raman and also the kind of work culture that is prevailent in the company.

Deputy GM to Raman : "Mr. Raman, I don't like your way of working in the office. You do not respect your seniors here."

Raman replies : "Sorry sir but I do my work. I hope I come here to work and not praise people even if they don't deserve it."

Deputy GM : "I didnt get you. What did you mean by that?"

Raman says : "Sir, I just meant what i said. One should not keep praising himself for no achievement at all."

Deputy GM : "Your behavior is unacceptable. I will report to Senior GM."

Raman : "Sure sir. I was already thinking of meeting him, anyways."



Senior GM to Raman : "I have recieved a number of complaints against you, Mr. Raman. you do not seem to be going weel with your peers and seniors."

Raman replies: "Sir, I had joined this company to work and not learn back-biting. And everyone here certainly doesn't seem to be enjoying, seeing me working. Working hard doesn't seem to be typical of this company, sir."

Senior GM : "You must learn how to speak to your boss. You do not have any ettiquettes. I will make sure you don't work long in this company. I have also told my HR that no student of your college will join this company after you."

Raman replies : "Dont worry, sir. I also have no plans of enhancing my stay at your company. Plus, I have also told my juniors not to join your company."

Senior GM : "What are you so proud of Mr. Raman? What can you do? Do you have any powers?"

Raman replies : "Sir, i don't have any such powers but i have the power to aware others of you and your company."

Senior GM : "Thats enough. I will make sure you are not able to join any company in the future."

Raman : "Sir, I would have certainly not been able to join any other company had i stayed here any longer. So, here is my resignation letter. It gives you a 20 day notice."

Senior GM : "You can stay at home from tomorrow only. You may go now. And settle your dues by today evening."

Raman : "Anyways, i had to join this new company tomorrow only. So, thanks Mr. Khanna for discharging me early."

Raman left the company that day only and joined the next company soon. Today he is working in an indian MNC and totally enjoying his work.
