TGIM - Thank God Its Monday

I have a problem…I have a problem with this breed of people who walk around office with so much excitement, who behave like they would rather be at work than spend the time lazing around at home and I have a problem when they carry an attitude of a Friday when on a Monday. This breed of people is the breed that is on their way to greener pastures or in corporate terms, is going through their notice period. In fact I don’t even like this term “notice period” …, I get the feeling, if you don’t put in your papers, you go through an “unnoticed” period. It rubs it in…doesn’t it?
Have you observed these guys during meetings…no deadline is impossible, no business requirement is difficult and they come out of the meeting feelings like the rest of us are lesser mortals. This is possibly the way the Neanderthal man would have looked at the pre-historic men and said…ok monkey men…we have invented the bow N arrow…so you continue to throw your stones at each other but we have upgraded!
Also the other thing that annoys me…the way the announcement of people leaving is made. So, we are already going through this predicament of seeing our colleague get a 60% hike with a fancy job title and the announcement from our boss goes like…well Loganathan has decided to move on…and all us stand like a jack ass feeling even more stagnant. I mean, what is this “move on”, who came up with this term. The person that coined this term...has he cared to even think about how low and small the rest of us would feel?
To all you leavers and movers…Life comes a full circle…just a matter of time before you get into the rigmarole of deadlines, work pressure, screw ups and appraisals! Remember…like in life, honeymoon can’t go on forever…enjoy it while it lasts, because very soon marriage would take over! Amen!
