A month and a half at office

15th Aug 2008: A month and a half at office

The eventful period with some crazy thing happened during this period. Here you go…

Here at work end, life was also going smoothly as of light work during training period. I’ve made some good friends. Some of them were from IIT whom I’ve met first time during the interview and next time on first day of our orientation in the company.

On that day we reached a little early in the office and in the orientation room there were some other people were also sitting there, all of them were fresher except one, Rohit. About 30-35 yr old, he was experienced and like us he was a new joinee to the company. We were thinking that he’s someone senior from the company only and just sitting there to observe our body language, our behavior or so, someone like a psychologist. After sitting there with us for some time Rohit walked out of the room. The moment he went out a murmur started among us about whom he was. Everyone was citing their opinion and after about a couple of minutes or so he returned with the coffee, and there was a pin drop silence in the room.

After about a minute or so one of us (Prakash) opened his mouth and shot the question.

Prakash: Are you from HR? When orientation is going to start?
Rohit: I don’t know. I’m just like you, the new joinee in the company and waiting for orientation to start.

Prakash: Hahahaha. Don’t tell lie.
Rohit: Arre, why should I lie? It’s mine first day too.

Prakash: Hahaha you must be kidding, the way you were observing us says a lot.
Rohit: Hahaha, what do you expect, cant I look at you guys… fresh ones out from the college, entering the work life.

Prakash: Yes that’s why you were observing our behavior as how we’ll behave in the company in future.
Rohit: What should I say now…


And he walked out of the room. And came back only with a HR personnel, to start orientation. She then tell us to introduce ourselves and the time when Rohit introduced himself, he looked at Prakash’s side and focused on the line "I’m the new joinee here". And that was the time when Prakash’s face was worth watching, and we all were laughing, but being a jolly person he too joined us in our laugh.

Then after a few days there was some issue regarding our first salary. As HR wasn't taking any action on our request so we all stormed to the COO’s room regarding unacceptability of the condition as we weren't informed about that during our recruitment etc...


With such incidents and meeting new people we didn't even realize how this time has passed, some of us have left while many are still here.
Lets see where life will take us in future.
