Trip to Ooty
I had been on a 2 day 2 nights trip to Ooty which I feel was a great change for me.
Visited Lots of places, saw a whole lot of wild animals and got some amazing awesome snaps.
Thanks god for making it happen.
Love your JOB
Love your job, not your company,
Because you never know, when the company stops loving you.
I think these were the words of Mr N R Narayan Murthy, not sure though.. Hmm...
I just wanted to write about an incident that happened to me some months back. Not sure whether it relates to the above quote. But never the less, worth a read.. Of Course..
The day was 3 March 2008. It was my last day @ one of my workplaces. I was working out of [***** content supressed*****] Campus. I guess last day @ an office is always crucial.
You need to get relieving letter, experience letter and some info on Full and Final Settlement, and as usual Form 16.
So I was also trying my level best not to mess up things over there, since my joining date in the other company was [***Content Supressed****].
Well.. I was done with most of the necessary things . There was this point of time where in I needed to submit my ID card and access card back to the security. Here was where I messed up and landed myself in an embarrassing situation.
One of my friends who earlier had quit the job, had surrendered his ID card, taken a temporary employee badge and entered the building to say goodbye to others. I thought of following the same way.
Here s where the real story begins.
I left my baggage in office itself.
I surrendered my Id to the security guys and signed in the registry saying I am done with it. I asked for a temporary badge, to my utter display the security said, we have stopped issuing those kinds of badges and you need to get a visitor pass.
Though it was my last day @, I am still the employee the EOD, and I am being paid for that, you see. But naaa, the security guys would not budge. I assume they did not want to give me the Employee Badge.
Btw, How can I be a visitor when I am an employee ? Is there no differentiation between an employee and a visitor. If an employee forgets to bring his Id Card will he be granted Visitor Pass ?
This is #1, I feel it was utterly humiliating and disappointing.
Here starts part 2 of the story.
I said OK.. Let me get a visitor pass at least. I need to get my baggage back and I am out of here. When I entered the room where visitor passes are issued, I found a lady who was issuing passes. As usual, she asked me who are you, I said " Today is my last day @ [***********] and I have surrendered my Id card, I need a visitor pass to get in and bring my baggage out ".
Guess what the madam says, " Why can 't you bring out your baggage and then surrender your card, why did u leave it inside the office campus ? ". This shows your actual worth. Till yesterday, the company was ready to send late night cabs to your house. Within 5 mins of you surrendering the ID, you are not even allowed to enter the campus. You need to face embarrassing questions like " why you left your baggage inside?". And guess what for a visitor pass you need a person whom you are going to visit, right ? I needed a person who could come and say yes, this ex-employee is going to visit me. I called my friend, and everything was done , I joined the other company on [**************] and the rest is history.
But now you can recollect how true is the saying
" Love your job, not your company,
Because you never know, when the company stops loving you. "
( 5 mins after surrendering your Id card, on your last day, you are a visitor to the company).
I dont call it disrespect. Its there, since the security level is so so high. But still its embarassing, you have worked there for 1.5 years and all of a sudden you are in the middle of no where. Phew.
