My work Place

I really don’t know where to begin from. I started working very early in my life. While I was still in college I started giving tuition. Those were fun days for me coz I use to get lot of interesting pple to meet with(some where really strange pple with weird nature).then right after d completion of graduation I started working to earn quick bucks and Business Process Outsourcing(BPO for some and for most of the common masses its d call centre) was the only option. Frankly speaking I didn’t like working in that industry coz somehow I found myself to be different from them. The odd hours of working. The most difficult part was to remain awake at night and then you have mixed bags of pple working with you. Some are graduate some are just school drop out and some are so experienced that they could very well be termed as veteran, however in BPO terms we were all freshers.Somehow I found myself disconnected from the rest of the lot. however when I realized that this is the place where I need to stay and work I started working hard and somehow my feelings which was so far of disgust and hatred changed dramatically into fondness for my work place. I know it might sound strange after what I have mentioned earlier I quite started liking the place the people around me and somehow I gelled so well with everyone around me that I can say I have some of my closest friend from there and the time I spend in Kolkata BPO will be one of the best days of my life. We had so much that I never felt I was working. Everyday was a big picnic for me and I use to look forward when the evening will come and when can I be with my gang. As a career I was making progress but it was a negligible one compared to the progress that my friends have made. they all were getting themselves admitted to any MBA college and here I was working at night and sleeping in the morning. Quite a lifestyle and everyone should get a hang of it at least once. So like my friends it also dawned on me to make some progress in life and then luck smiled on me and I finally got transferred to Wipro Technologies ,Pune.Things cant be better than this for me. I was thrilled and happy and with new dreams in my eyes. Initially everything was very good and life was like a dream for me. However like all good things comes to an end my dream also had to come to an end and now I am in one such work place which sucks to the core. I could never imagine work place can be a battleground kinds where everyone has to prove who is better if that means even implementing the worst things that is possible in the world in the name of change. So today when I am writing this I am amazed at one fact that we can’t get everything at one place. When I was in BPO I had fun but there was no career progression and now when there is career progression there is no fun.The entire atmosphere is polluted at times it becomes difficult to breathe.Hope is that is alive that one day hopefully the environmnet changes and we can mix work with play minus the politics.
