Email from the boss

[cid:image001.jpg@01CACB3C.8F267920]



Mail sent by Narayan Murthy to all Infosys staff:



It's half past 8 in the office but the lights are still 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 ??

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!!!

Any guesses???

Let's ask one of them...

Here's what he says... "What's there 2 do after going home...Here we

get to surf, AC, phone, food, coffee that is why I am working

late...Importantly no bossssssss!!!!!!!!!!!"



This is the scene in most research centers and software companies and

other off-shore offices.



Bachelors "Time-passing" during late hours in the office just bcoz they

say they've nothing else to do...

Now what r the consequences...



"Working" (for the 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 aren't 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 u get married

and start having a family... office is no longer a priority, family

is... and

That's when the problem starts... b'coz u start having commitments at

home too.



For your boss, the earlier "hardworking" guy suddenly seems to become a

"early leaver" even if u 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 labelled

as work-shirkers...



Girls who thankfully always (its changing nowadays... though) leave on

time are labelled as "not up to it". All the while, the bachelors pat

their own backs and carry on "working" not realizing that they r

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 will 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 boy friend, take him/her around

town...



* And for heaven's sake, net cafe rates have dropped to an all-time low

(plus, no fire-walls) 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 stay back till midnight to forward this!!!



IT'S A TYPICAL INDIAN MENTALITY THAT WORKING FOR LONG HOURS MEANS VERY

HARD WORKING & 100% COMMITMENT ETC.



PEOPLE WHO REGULARLY SIT LATE IN THE OFFICE DON'T KNOW TO MANAGE THEIR

TIME. SIMPLE!



Regards,

NARAYAN MURTHY.
