Home sweet home


Finally purchased tickets to go home. Still a long way to go, but at least I now know I will be going home. Looking back at the past 6 months, all i can say is it has been a mixed bag. It took me 6 months to realize that I made a good decision by quiting infosys. I still remember those days of filling up excel sheets for months, waiting for client calls which I can hardly understand (Italian guys speak bad english), working on saturdays, messing up the system and trying to make it work. I think I messed up the system more than any enhancements that I did to it. Anyways It was a good learning experience of how complicated things can be with multiple people working together. Also understood the importance of communication. I guess my manager still didn't realize it. I dont understand why people start outsourcing. Cheaper will be the answer I guess. But I think cost is directly proportional to quality. Several freshers that kept coming into organization were so bad that I feared delegating work to them. I ended up doing my own work, wasting time delegating them work and eventually doing their work. Infosys has become so cheap that my senior here once said he thinks if someone does not get job anywhere infy will pick him up. If I was to own a company, I would always like to keep things under control, and clean even if I ended up sacrificing profits. I want all people working under my company to have that feeling that they own the company. Motivation is something that can do wonders. I think Mr Murthy and co. were more interested in profits than all this. Anyways everybody have their own opinions and own goals in life. But atleast know I am happy to be out that 50,000 shit. I am not including all employees because some of them are really good. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I started with home sweet home and digressed to somewhere else.
