Working in an MNC - My Learnings

 When people go to work, they shouldn't have to leave their hearts at home.    ~Betty Bender

Most of you regular readers would be knowing that I started working a few months ago. In the past few months, I learned a lot about how corporates work.

Being a fresher right out of college, I was unaware as to how everything functioned. I believed that everybody worked with a feeling of 'my company'. However, I learned that it is hardly ever so. 

People work on the basis of  'yearly objectives'. Everyone is given an objective for the year and all that people care about are achieving their objectives. It really does not matter whether the way you achieve the objective is good or bad for the company as a whole. 

Also, there is the blame game. It is 'OK' to throw shit, as long as you can blame it on someone else. 'Proactive' thinking is what we were taught during our induction, but I guess there is a need for giving the training to not just the trainees but also the established employees. The whole process is confusing and weird. 

If someone asks for help, think a thousand times before helping him - for sharing any work means sharing all the blame it might get with it . Trust has no place. Friendship has no meaning. I love the work I do, but I wish I loved the people too.

Somehow, growing up is not as fun as I thought it was. Thank God for sex.
