4 Years at RedEgg – A Special Day 12-12-12

Today is one of the special days like 01-01-01, 02-02-02, 03-03-03, 04-04-04, 05-05-05, 06-06-06, 07-07-07, 08-08-08, 09-09-09, 10-10-10, 11-11-11 and 12-12-12.  In hundred years (20th Century), these dates will come only 12 times in a year.  So each and every one in our world is waiting and considered this date as a special day in 2012 because we won’t get this in our life time again (for people who born before 1985s).

Apart from this Date: 12-12-12 is something more special for me because I joined in RedEgg family on the same date [12-12-08].  In my 4 years of experience, I can understand my career growth from where I started; it is like yesterday I joined here.  After joining this organization, it taught me and shaped me to reach a good position and few experience will definitely help me in other part of my life.  It made me to realize who I am and where should I focus.  Each and every day I am learning something new to develop myself and for my organization’s growth.  

I take this opportunity to thank all my supporters, team members and mentors to help me in tough times.  I made many mistakes in my career but people believed me and gave more opportunities which motivate me to work more to prove myself.

Last but not least, I am happy to work at RedEgg which gave me popularity among public.  Many people approached me for job opportunity when they came to know that I am working here.   

My next year objective is to do something for my organization.  I feel proud of work in RedEgg family and my goal is to work hard to showcase myself as a valuable asset for this organization.

I love my job more than my company and like to work for more and more years in RedEgg.  For past 4 years I worked and focused only on my career growth but from next year onwards I will work for other people’s growth who is working along with me.  I try to help them to reach their career goal by guiding them in right path.

Overall 2012 is the successful year for me because of God’s grace and wishes.  I hope the year ahead brings me lots of good luck, success and happiness in my life.

I apologize, if I missed anyone to mention.

Thank You Once Again! :)

A Story for People Who Extend Working Hours

Few days back I received a mail from one of my friend, a story about IT employees lifestyle and answered why IT people extend their working hours, working on weekend/holidays etc.  In that mail it is mentioned as, this email is sent by one of the leading $6 billion worth IT firm's co-founder and chair person Mr. N. R NM to all of his employees but I am not sure whether it is sent by him or not.  The message given in that mail is a fact, so I too like to share this message in my blog.

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 ‘Passing-Time’ 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 !"

N. R. NM

Seven Things That Motivate Employees More Than Money

1. Stay Big-hearted with Praise

People deliberately expect from employers and it’s one of the easiest things to give.  Praise every improvement that you see your team members make. Once you’re comfortable delivering praise one-on-one to an employee, try praising them in front of others.

2. Allow people think for new ideas

People do not like new ideas or plans which are just instructed without any discussions with them. Instead of telling to people, better you can ask people to come up with ideas.

3. Never criticize others

No one wants to hear that they did something wrong.  Try an indirect approach to get people to improve, let them learn from their mistakes.

4. Give leadership responsibility to everyone

Highlight your top performers’ strengths and let them know that because of their excellence, you want them to be the example for others.

5. Weekly once lunch with Top performer

Surprise them. Don’t make an announcement that you are going to invite for a lunch.  It’s an easy way to remind them that you notice and appreciate their work.

6. Give company parties

You can provide company outing, company lunch and parties to encourage people and let them feel happy & comfortable working with you.  Don’t just wait until the holidays to do a company activity; organize events throughout the year to remind your staff is important for you.

7. Share success and failure

When your company does well, celebrate. This is the best time to let everyone know that you’re thankful for their hard work and success.  If there are disappointments, share those too. Always stay honest and transparent, share where the company stands and the company’s expectation from employees.
