KCK- The bitter corporate truth

Today I watched Karthik calling Karthik. I really liked the movie for many reasons. I like Frahan, I like Deepika, I like them as a pair, their chemistry rocks. But what really touched me about the film was Farhans moments of glory in his office after constantly having to take crap from his boss despite being so good and earnest at his work. Mind you, his boss even takes him for a meeting half way till such time that he needs to and feel secure about all paperwork work being right....afterall, thats what will clinch him the deal. Not once does the obnoxious guy think that here is my golden goose, let me impart him some training on handling client meetings and my business will rock. Instead he bullies Karthik, trampling over the confidence of an already under- confident guy so ruthlessly. What they showed was so true. Thats how the cororate world functions. Its ruthless with those who show even a little weakness, no matter how good they may be at their work. One has to be an expert at camoflaguing ones weaknesses. While many organizations boast of imparting training on personality development, its nothing more than a tick in the box for HR. the truth is- organizations want people who will deliver from day one. They only take from you, theres not much that they give. Hence YOU have to learn to take as much as possible from the organization.
- Ask, ask, and ask shamelessly- At the most you will get a No for an answer.
- Be assertive
- Ask to be send for training programme
- Ask to be send for seminars
- Ask to be allowed to attend meetings wherever possible
