NON COMPETE CLAUSE

This one's not welcome from Infosys . ET reports that Infosys is soon going to ask it's employees to sign a NON COMPETE AGREEMENT letter . This means that Infosys's employees are contractually obligated to NOT join any of the competitors or clients with in six months of leaving Infosys.

Competition has been made clear including TCS, IBM, ACCENTURE , WIPRO. It might not be unusual but IS IT FAIR ?

Can Infosys sign an agreement saying that they'll not hire any staff from the IT BIG 5.????Tweet

UN HAPPINESS AT JOB

I read a post written by Dr. Gopalakrishnan , Chairman TATA Sons . It was about "Why people leave there job" .

To quote a part of it

"A lot of people leave an organisation because they are "unhappy". What is this so-called-unhappiness?

I have been working for donkey's years, and there has neverbeen a day when I am not unhappy about something in my work - environment, boss, rude colleague, fussy clients, etc. Unhappiness in a workplace, to a large extent, is transient.

If you look hard enough, there is always something to be unhappy about. But, more importantly, do I come to work to be "happy" in the truest sense? If I think hard, the answer is "No". Happiness is something you find with family, friends, may be a close circle of colleagues who have become friends. What you come to work for is to earn, build a reputation, satisfy your ambitions, be appreciated for your work ethics, face challenges and get the job done. "

I THINK STILL ORGANISATIONS CAN TRY TO MAKE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION " YES".

Yes , I come to work to be " Happy" ... Is some one listening

THE GOOGLE PHILOSOPHY

The Google Philosophy - Never settle for the best .

Few of the The Ten Things at Google .

It's best to do one thing really, really well.
Well we all know what Google does .. Search

Fast is better than slow.
Google believes in instant gratification. You want answers and you want them right now. Google may be the only company in the world whose stated goal is to have users leave its website as quickly as possible.

You can be serious without a suit.
Google's founders have often stated that the company is not serious about anything but search. They built a company around the idea that work should be challenging and the challenge should be fun.Ideas are traded, tested and put into practice with an alacrity that can be dizzying. Meetings that would take hours elsewhere are frequently little more than a conversation in line for lunch and few walls separate those who write the code from those who write the checks.

Great just isn't good enough.
Always deliver more than expected. Google does not accept being the best as an endpoint, but a starting point.

WHAT'S YOUR PASSION ?

I am reading "Like a flowing river" by Paulo Coelho and came accross a very interesting note on Passion .

He says Passion is what you can talk about endlessly ; you'll like to find as much information as you can and read ; You love to interact with people who share common interest ; You go to sleep thinking about it , dream about it and wake up thinking about it.

Well said , I thought for a while and couldn't find a passion which fits in the criteria . I can definitely say my 2 year son has got one "watching Power rangers " on Jetix .

I recently read Vaidyanathan , 39 , Executive Director of ICICI Bank is learning Guitar , He also runs 21km every Sunday .

Did any one say , I don't have time to find / pursue Passion ?
