GOING BACK TO SCHOOL

They say job is a god teacher , it teaches spme thing daily , every hour rather every moment . Most of the time it's what to do and many a times also what not to do . After 10 years of corporate working experience I think it's time to go back to school , formally . I was considering to refresh my MBA education , much has changed in the last 10 years . I came to know even "kotler" has been revised many a times.

Education too has changed since then . Doing a full time course from IIM / ISB requires at least one year ( difficult call to leave present job ; these EMIs change your life ) and also some ( may be lot) preparation from GMAT / CAT . The other easier options Management Development Programs ( MDPs or AMPs ) . When i researched on them , even they require reasonably big amount of money in a short time , almost INR 20000 a day for ISB.

I am thinking .... Cost Benefit Analysis you see.....Tweet

EMAIL IS PASSE ..TXT IS IN

PLS APRV 10.25% , 20MN DL ON WY.TKS

You are not excused if you don’t understand this . “TXT MSG” is the next big thing , it’s not only limited to the friendly chats between youngsters or coordinating for meeting times. The new users of this powerful tool are corporates . Email is passé , its only for records , this is how decisions happen in the rapidly changing amd highly competitive world.

By the way this txt is what a Manager wrote to seek approval from his boss for giving some special rate to his corporate client who was about to move his funds to another bank . It took around 45 seconds to close the deal . All his boss said was : “APRVD” , and the deal was closed . Emails , Approval notes shall certainly follow but afterwards , for records only.

TXT IS THE IN THING , IS IT APPROPRIATE IN THE CORPORATE WORLD ????Tweet

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
