Hello everyone, so whats this one gonna be about? Its been seven months and i think this period was enough to get a snapshot of how things work in the industry. There was this interesting quote which i came across online, "The greater your capacity for hard work, the more rewards fall within your grasp. The deeper you can dig, the more treasure you can potentially find.", and I also found a place where this is an exception. Any guesses?? Well its our very own IT industry. And if its recession time the situation gets even worse. I asked one of my friends about his work, and his answer left me to with one question - "Is it really worth it??". Here goes his story. He goes to work at 7 30 AM in the morning and gets back home by 2:00 AM (The time the thief enters home to loot our money and other valubles). For people who argue saying "Well this is recession time, and you need to work", listen on. I told him that he has his weekends to rejuvenate and this being recession he shouldn be complainin much. He replied immediately saying "Machi they ask me to come on saturdays and sundays, hence i end up working 7 days a week". My next question was "Dude are you being paid extra money? For the amount of effort you put in you need to earn money accrodingly". His answer was on expected lines "a big NO".

Well i do understand that it is recession and these are hard times, but how much of this can people take? This guy being a bachelor has a lesser impact. Imagine the impact it will have on his family if he is married guy with kids. Money is important. We must earn money to support our family and feed em. But at what cost do we earn money? At the cost of our health? At the cost of our family? At the cost of our life? There is a thin line which seperates labor that sustains life and labor that ruins life. I think its high time our bosses think about their family and the amount of time they spend with them. Our life deserves things much better than making money and improving social status.
