Working on WEEKEND..........................

It's been around 9 months working in a MNC and this is the first time I am working on a weekend. The project has to be delivered by the end of the month and the pressure is increasing at exponential rate.

"Tell your manager that project is not feasible or the time is very less to achieve the same". This were the words of the trainer when I joined the company and was going through induction and training classes. And here I am today working for a non-feasible project having short deadline. To add to the complexity, the other 2 guys are also fresher like me and the whole Project responsibilty is in our shoulder. It doesn't matter if we worked for 24 hrs but all that matter is where we are at the end of the day. The technology is new and most the time is spent in R&D.

When I was in bench I was told to learn some different technology and now they put in a project using some other technology. When I say technology I mean programming language and platform in which it is used. IT geeks will understand easily what I mean. Oh sorry..........I was talking about my time in bench. Well this is the Irony of Life and IT field. When you don't have project you wanted to get in some as early as you can. You try with all your might to get selected in client's interview. And once you get in a project you start to curse managers and every other seniors for the burden of work they put on you, for the untimely meetings, for embarrasing you in front of all other team mates and for making you work on weekends.


I had a lot of work to finish but I am totally exhausted working long hrs and now in weekends also. I am writing this blog while I am supposed to work my ass off to make this project feasible and deliver in time. I learnt one thing from this project that it doesn't matter how hard you are trying and how much effort you are putting............all that matter is whether you achieved what you were supposed to or not.


Once I got a mail titled "Ornagram of Corporate". The mail contained a picture and I think that picture is the right way to describe the corporate world. Let me describe the picture to you causeI don't have that picture right now to paste it in this blog nor hav enough time to google it.
Imagine a long post and a Piegon sitting at top of it. Below that two more piegon, head covered by shit of above Piegon and below that a bunch of piegon totally covered with shit. The message below the picture says "When the top level management looks down, all they see is Shit and when employees, like us, sees upwards, all we see is Asshole".
