Get Laid.....off
Firm laid off 15 guys yesterday. Absolutely the worst thing to do. From morning itself i had been hearing abt these things but i was stunned to hear it getting confirmed. Bloody asses they recruit people by the truck loads and then when they can't give them work they fire them. I wonder who should get fired ....
1) Guys who joined.. after cracking 2-3 rounds of intvw and then worked late nights to finish work.
or
2) Guys who recruited them in the fist place to increase head count, then sold the firm and then could not bring the business even after getting acquired by a big company.
Not even a warning... that is the troubling part... i can't understand the reason behind this. Not all of them were the bottom lot.... some were average guys just like most of the group.
Guess this will make a perfect case study in B-Schools.. Past...small kpo provider.. doing well.. but needs capital.... looks for potential buyers... start building up resources to increase valuations.. big bpo firm takes over.. perfect for both... big guy gets into a new domain.. small guys gets more money and access to big guys existing clients.... 6 months down the line... Present.... Increasing of resources takes it toll.... all play and almost no work... some guys move out... still no project and most of the people free... half yearly targets not meet.. worst 6 months in history.. lays of 15 guys... Future... focus area changes from high end analytics to small time reporting and stuff... people have left.. big shots in the small firm take cosy seats in the upper management of the big firm be it in sales or BD..
Where am i in between all of these.. i don't know.

Shrek 3 and more......
Watched Shrek 3 this week. I liked the movie, although the story is not as strong as the second part, it's very funny and makes u laugh. For the sake of comparison it's better than POC - 3.
Having an extended weekend this time. Thursday was a holiday because of Buddha Jayanti(i guess so.. not sure but something related to buddha). It's surprising that it wasn't a holiday in India, the land from where Buddha came... ahhh. Went to office on Friday... and did nothing for the whole day. Caught Cheeni Kum Friday night. Cute movie with good acting from all.
Saturday was spent on a bar-be-cue at senthil's place. Had most of the office team come over at his place for food and drinks. Was fun talking to everyone in a no official environment. Man this place really need such kind of activities. Office is so boring, with everyone pretending to do work, or actually doing work. Hopefully ore such events will loosen them up and it can become a more fun office to work in.
