Happenings in a corporate office environment – trivia
____________________________________________________
If you take quick decisions, you are hasty,
And don’t seem to analyse too well;
If you do not, you are a tad lazy,
And will soon be dumped into the well;
🙂
If you prefer to delegate or talk one on one
You are not a progressive team person;
If you tend to have more group meetings,
Then you are a ‘preacher’ and action none;
🙂
If you smile or laugh too much,
You are not sophisticated enough;
If you are stern or show a frown,
You are a sticky boss on the trough.
🙂
If you see the ‘big picture’
You do not have ‘eye for detail’;
And if you get into too much detail
You are tagged, merely ‘transactional’!
🙂
You achieve your targets,
Then you have not planned right;
And if you under achieve,
You are not a “go-getter”!
🙂
You get a brownie from your boss,
There are many ears listening but eyes turn aside;
If you are being fired for something in a toss,
Then all eyes are on you but none beside;
🙂
Welcome to the Corporate world,
Where one really needs to be bold,
If you truly want to hold
Onto your pride and get going untold!

Good one Hema! Overall moral is that, it doesn’t matter what you do, it can be taken the wrong way. So, do what you think is right and ignore the gangs…
Why is there a smiley in between? Is that to indicate that it should all be taken in the lighter sense…
Thanks Suresh.
Yes, the smiley is to indicte to take it lightly.
(pssst….I was actually searching for a para breaker and then hit upon this idea)
The best possible thought of a corporate. For someone who has been sub ordinate and Boss this tellS it all.
We target Market Share
Without any major care
Challenge the competition to dare
Goof up and just say it is not Fair
We achieve we are performers
We make others achieve, we are reformers
We fail we are unfit
Team fails we are misfit
Hi, welcome to my blog Muni.
Yep! Well said !!
Oh brilliant.And the lovely repartee from Muni.
We can’t win, can we ???? Oh yes, we can, when the stars collude and your sales go zoom.
Thanks Ramesh. Your words make me add…
Win we can , yes we can,
ThankGod ,on success there is no ban;
Wait for the stars to smile,
And see your sales zoom a mile. 🙂
Wa Wa. The poet is in scintillating form.
As I said in facebook… very well said, and I somehow think, it fits women , as we have to fight a tad bit more than men in this corporate world.
Yes, Shoba, totally agree.
It is tougher for us compared to men, as we need to balance certain other things also which men may not be very sensitive too.
It gets lonely out there!
nicely expressed aunty…especially it coming from u, who has a lot of experience…i guess i agree wid suresh uncle…i guess v just have to be ourselves and do wht v believe is right… 🙂
