Well, a philosophy or should I call it a norm where all jobs either physical or intellectual is treated equal. There is no discrimination about the nature of job, the position held at work. An employee experiences a sense of self worth, valued, appreciated and belongingness towards the Company only when respected and valued.  A thought process that exists from decades, spoken, debated but practised by a very few. We still need to get to the point of understanding it. Many of us do not realise various non-favorable situations that happens in our daily lives personally or at work. Maybe, we are still slaves in our subconcious, we are nurtured in a particular system. With changing times, we are trying to fit in the change but deep down we are what we always used to be! The old school, superior, inferior barracades bind us. Somewhere, as a culture, as an individual we are failing, falling apart. Think about it! Coming back to dignity at work, is not only about respecting other

A couple of months back (somewhere around Nov-Dec-2019), I received a call for a job opportunity. While I went on to explain the kind of profile I was looking for, and my preferences as a candidate, I was snapped at saying” you will never get a job in a Corporate, especially if you want to work remote”.

I was baffled for by this conversation. Moreover, being a part of the HR fraternity for more than 15+ years, this entire episode made me think on vario

When we are kids, we want to be a part of the grownups world. We feel it is so cool. They get to do whatever they want, live, speak their mind out and as children, have so many restrictions. The tables turn the moment we experience the grownups world. We crave going back in time to being kids all over again. As we grow up we realise it is a messed up world. Everything comes with a price and of course! There is no free lunch. There is also something about the grownup employment world. The most dreadful word. This word crumbles your life apart or at least your work life apart. Escalation is the word! Though the synonyms can be used as per the context but in the job world, it is the least anyone wants to go through... It often accompanies dissatisfaction, lack of skills, incompetence of handling things at work and much more! Coming to think of it, and if we rewind our lives, does it not strike us, that it is something that has been a part of all our growing years? The

Machines are expected to work in a definite manner. Some programmed while others operated automatically with a push of a button. While still, some are dealt manually. A machine need not be a sophisticated, accumulated or assembled in a complex way. It can be as simple as churning grain from the straw or pumping water from a hand pump. Different types of machines are spread across the world in its own form and works in its defined capacity. They are meant to behave, obey in a particular manner if not, are stacked away never to be touched again. It is most often replaced if not repaired and there is no second chance nor looked into the crux of the problem to find solutions. No one has that kind of time or patience in this fast paced, racing life. There is no time for such repair of thoughts ore revisits and introspect oneself, to make an inner change than waiting for others to change. It is expected of others to behave, follow and live in a particular manner. Yes, much needed in a
