Life
of a corporate employee
From
outsiders' view: Wears expensive clothes, doesn’t have to run after heavily
crowded buses, has free cab rides, gets hefty pay-check, goes out every
weekend, visits high-end restaurants, resorts, and cafés, has a secure life,
rich for the rest of his life.
Reality:
Uses good quality washing powder, extends office hours by an hour because once
you get into the ‘free’ cab you can do no personal work, sits facing the
computer screen for hours, convincing oneself that he/she is doing something
worth (although that isn’t the usual case); takes much joy in breakfast meets,
lunch gatherings, tea breaks, water cooler gossips, potshots at managers;
starts Monday waiting for Friday and spends Friday chalking out plans for
‘to-be-celebrated’ weekend, but ends up being in bed the two whole days; shows
off paycheck to outsiders, but curses own fate for such a sucked-up
number; always thinks of a job change for the fear of being kicked out first; makes an ‘in-the-mind’ salary
review, while going through the menu booklet (oh yes, I’m talking about the hi-fi
restaurants), orders the most reasonable priced dish with a fancy name
(balancing both – the company’s so-called status and the bank status :D).
And
so the non-corporate guys, please don’t envy these poor chaps, they actually
need to be pitied!! :D
P.S.
I’m a lame corporate guy myself!! :P :D
