Did you do enough to be a Corporatist? (Part-2)

I have not paid enough attention to complete this connotation in great detail but the rationale behind doing this as fast as possible is to ensure my grotesque ideas goes flawlessly and unscathed. The very narration of this article is a combination of my thoughts and never ending perceptions. These are inhabited with strong ideas perceived over one another. There were several ideas that were spent thoughtlessly which have been inappropriate but they are very abysmal in nature. I see so many useless and ineffective employees occupying critical positions in an organization and needless to say they are ineffective. We can call this as an effective paradigm of modern times.

Companies that lack engineering and scientific approach often falls short of being a protagonist thus my skepticism continue ever after. Relation within the organization is even more absorbing while employees continue to treat their managers as fierce god. Only few are preferred and they are those who are in those thick lines of the organization and no longer aim for stronger motives. One thing I must admit is the way everyone is administered. This is indeed very prudent and shameful.

In continuation to my connotation, there are those hilarious facts;

Performance improvement plan (PIP)
Performance improvement plan has always been the automated process to drive an employee outside of the organization and this often related to a patient residing on Coma. There are feverish chances where one gets out of PIP and later be considered for his overwhelming performance. There could be several reasons for one to get exposed or be in the bad books of the management. There are times where an employee is labeled a bad employee after showing intense dislike over the governance or the way he/she is being treated.

Strategic approach
There has never been a thing that is unknown to man which is created by him. The strategic approach is nothing but a propaganda launched by certain people who envy capable ones in most cases. In other words, he would have spoken against him or disagreed on something that is lucrative. Here, ego becomes paramount. The strategic approach is a process of sadistic execution where the wrong ones win over the right ones.

What is Corporate English? And how is it different from normal English?
Corporate English is a language found in hard-to-find places and spoken by those where dictionary plays a mere reference without context. The phonological language to disprove familiarity to something hardly known but pretend to know more than you actually know. Corporate English need not have to make sense in grammatical way. It should sound sharp where the intension should be morbid and obscure. Corporate English is usually spoken by mediocre minds and is becoming very popular with the young junks. These modern youth normally use fake ascent that is normally horrible to hear in most cases. Normal English is what we normally let to learn at schools and has appropriate grammatical structure to every sentence you frame. On the other hand, Corporate English has no patents and is a freeware. Anyone who can twist around his tongue and who can frame sentences with least importance to grammar will win the game.

People eventually quit managers and not companies
The terrible fumbling nature quite often exists in most companies. It is true that everyone knows that people swap jobs based on pay, position and satisfaction unless there are exceptions. But that is vaguely untrue. Employee starts realizing all of these only when he falls fray with his manager. I'm not sure how this coincidence is programmed. Whenever there are de-motivating moments, an employee looks at the job site thinking for a better day without realizing his manager is also looking for your replacement. It is true that company can surely find a replacement for you and it is equally true that you can find a replacement for your company equally soon. Be informed that your talent will never go wasted if you can make correct moves at the right time. When a company is desperate to hire people for a key position or unable to hold charge of their client, they are forced to pay whatever you ask. But these are less in frequency but never mind, they are sought quite often. My friend once wrote a lengthy email to his management informing the ill-deeds of his manager and human resources just turned to be what they are. It is very critical to know that nothing will be done to a person who represents the management. For them, your manager is always right. He therefore put his manager is the worst possible situation before departing from his organization. I disagree with what he did and deem it as unethical. Companies pay us and we need to be sincere if not at all times.

Data/ report/ graphs without passing the minds of either
Collecting data is one thing, making full use of it is another. In most cases, the data becomes the information from your machine to your audience' machine without passing the minds of either. This is the way of the world. We are never pragmatic and are least concerned about the practical matters. The pivot about which a lever turns is the difference between necessity and requirement. Thus we reach the state of being indispensable.

The concept of treating your boss as a fierce god
The fundamentalism of surviving in a corporate industry is to be in the good books of the boss. In most cases, managers’ makes or breaks careers and such is the case of almost everyone. The management decides the funneling system in which the fortune is cascaded till the last level possible and the exit route is finally shown. Human Resource has always been the shabbiest department I have ever seen. Most of their words are either a lie or factually untrue. Human Resource is a mechanism used by the management to show legal possibilities to achieve their aim. It could be pre-decided appraisals, job posting results or an announcement in the form of propaganda. The concept of treating your boss as a fierce god continues unless someone shatters the glass with even-harder engineering approach. I still have a flimsy line as we Indians are a scarred lot and talk more and achieving less.

Open door policy ending in closed doors
Whenever someone speaks about the open-door policy, it makes me laugh and at all times, they are either hilarious or so disgusting that you resign from thinking. The paradox of this statement is that it contradicts itself when spoken or heard. I have never seen a management considering a decision after having a discussion in an open door mechanism. There are fewerish people with pragmatic mindset who are still considerate about practical matters. These are no longer subtle and this mechanism has grown beyond correction

I would close this connotation is fairly abrupt fashion living a lot of matters untouched. I see no other means as I am not the one who could or have the will to correct this system. This is a never ending race and I make a careful decision in not to participate in this senseless deed.

Disclaimer: I do not direct the above connotation on anyone or any organization keeping as instance. These are based on my pure thoughts and it necessarily does not reflect on anyone dead or alive. I therefore hold no responsibility on any claims made in this regard
