NARAYANAMOOTHY'S VIEWS ON "STAYING LATE IN THE OFFICE"

It's half past 8 in the office but the lights are on....
PCs still running, Coffee machines still buzzing....
And Who's at Work?
Most of them?? Take a closer look....

All or Most specimens are 20 something male species of the human race....
Look closer....Again all or most of them are bachelors....
And why are they sitting late? Working Hard? No Way!!!

Let's ask on of them....

Here's what he says...."What's there to do after going home....
Here we get to surf, AC, Phone, Food, Coffee....That is why Im working late....
Importantly No Bossssss!!!!

This is the scene in most research centres and software companies and other
Off-shore offices.
Bachelors "Time-Passing" during late hours in the office just because they
say they've nothing else to do....

Now what are the consequences....Read on

"Working"(For record only) late hours soon becomes part of the
institute or company culture. With bosses more than eager to provide
support to those "working" late in the form of taxi vouchers, food vouchers and
of course good feedback (Oh, He's a hard worker....goes home only to change...!!!)

They are'nt helping things too...
To hell with bosses who don't understand the difference between "Sitting" late and "Working"

late!!

Very Soon, the boss start expecting all employees to put in extra working hours..

So, my dear bachelors let me tell you, life changes when you get married and start
having a family...Office is no longer a priority, family is...and that's when the
problem starts...because you start having commitments at home too...

For your boss, the earlier "hardworking" guy suddenly seems to become an "early leaver"
even if you leave an hour after regular time....after doing the same amount of work.

People leaving on time after doing their tasks for the day are labeled as Work-Shirkers...
Girls who thankfully always (Its changing nowadays.....though) leave on time are labeled
as "not up to it". All the while the bachelors put their own backs and carry on "working"
not realizing that they are spoiling the work culture at their own place and never
realize that they would have to regret at one point of time.

* So what's the moral of the story??? *
* Very clear, LEAVE ON TIME!!!
* Never put in extra time "*UNLESS REALLY NEEDED*"
* Don't stay back unnecessarily and spoil your company work culture, which in turn
cause inconvenience to you and your colleagues.

There are hundred other things to do in the evening

LEARN MUSIC....
LEARN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE.....
TRY A SPORT...TT, CRICKET....
IMPORTANTLY GET A GIRL FRIEND OR GAL FRIEND, TAKE HIM OR HER AROUND TOWN....
AND FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE NET CAFE RATES HAVE DROPPED TO AN ALL-TIME LOW
(PLUS NO FIREWALLS) AND TRY COOKING FOR A CHANGE.
TAKE A TIP FROM THE SMIRNOFF AD *"LIFE'S CALLING WHERE ARE YOU??"*

PLEASE PASS ON THIS MESSAGE TO ALL THOSE COLLEAGUES AND PLEASE DO IT BEFORE
LEAVING TIME, DON'T SIT BACK TILL MIDNIGHT TO FORWARD THIS.
