We may...And I thought this was a British Legacy!!!! We may hope for change, provided the good people are as skilled as their opponents in ‘colluding’. But this seems a remote possibility since good people lack will power, mutual trust and fear the muck that they may get on their so clean shirts if they try to get in to this drain to clean it. <br />Lack of management skills is the reason, people believe in these theories of subordinates getting pampered due to good treatment. The problem is that we Indians don’t understand the difference between drawing room and bed room. We don’t know where to draw the line. There is nothing like the concept of one corporate goal and team work. Here people work for their bosses and not for their company. Bosses blinded by their inflated ego can’t tolerate a subordinate who has self respect, no matter how good worker he is. <br />I pity your neighbors who can at best be called literate ignorant. The difference that these people miss out is that in this new ‘caste system’, the son of a ‘lower caste’ person can attain ‘higher caste’ in his life. What is the guarantee that their own children will be on the same or a better post? What right do they have to complain in case similar treatment is given to them by their superiors? These people may be found justifying the throwing out episode of Gandhi, though in private. These people believe in the two world theory, one which exists for all practical purposes and the other which exists in books, to be read and spoken about. This is what they are passing on to their children: disrespect for work. They do not deserve to be called managers, because this shows their lack of any managerial skills. How can subordinates respect their own work if the work they are assigned proves to be so menial and insignificant that it turns them in to untouchable? This kind of negative attitude towards subordinates is cancerous for the work culture. But who cares?? The managers are getting their salary and nourishment for their puffed up ego and they know that the blame game will make sure that the real problem never gets identified. Cunning subordinates know how to rub the ego of their bosses the right way and in turn get their boss’s Midas touch which enhances their perceived caste among peers and subordinates dramatically. <br />Once again a good and bold article in Atoorva style.MARCHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14827776780721275087noreply@blogger.com
