On the IT Sofah...

"O dear ! Had been waiting for this day for so long . Finally joined an IT company . Now i have one more tension .. Yar Rishi I am not allocated to any project yet .. I am on BENCH"... When one of my friends said this a few days back i realized BENCH is one the scariest words in I industry... first all the companies would say that they have a lot of work and there is always a cos cutting issue too .. i don understand one thing how come they can afford an employee whom these companies pay for being on Bench,.... Anyways now comes a really funny issue,,, when you say that u r on bench you might feel bad or may think that it is somehow make you subject of other's jokes or pitty or self pitty.. so we devised a new term .. Being on sofa... Sofa seems to be a lot more interesting and less offencive than the term BEnch... isnt it? Obviously it doesnot change any ground reality but i m sure its a good effort to make your situation a l'il funny ...


SO being on sofa ? Is it really bad....

Keep looking for more on SOFAH,... :)

ON Firing Spree IN IT..

Dah...
What m i gonna write here...
A few days back.. i mean around a year back i used to be very happy being a computer science graduate from a relatively better college i used to think that
what the hell would have i done if were in some department like Mechanical electrical or Chemical or blah blah...
I thought it would very simple to get into a software giant ( that i got into..)but Gods were waiting for this moment.. and suddenly when i was about to join US economy went into recession.. i guess US was not waiting for this moment their economy was **cked up already but we ( i mean or finance experts) realised a bit late.
Anyways.. IT industry has become a destrucrive game and big players are more or less like the animated fighters in QUAKE and they actually are on a firing spree...
Why dont they think bout the lives of people who are getting fired...
people who have been in industry for long enough dont care if they get fired becuse many are there who are waiting for them with a better package and stuff..
but what about freshers....???


Question question question....

What should tehy do??

I dun care what they do with freshers ( even though i m one of them) but i m sure bout one thing
" Loyalty towards the hiring company is definitely going to disappear from the priority list of IT Buds"
