Recently I was watching one Telugu movie “Rechhipo” (A person who steals the property of rich people and share with poor people), There is a scene where he enters into a old women's house accidentally, then that woman asks him,
who r u? Why did you come at this time?
Can you guys guess the answer...?
The answer iiis... I am S/W Engineer; I have just finished my work!!! :)
I came here to ask your vacant house for rent...
The Paradigm of S/W profession has become this way...It is deeply into the minds of the people,
But the reality is different...Let c how that goes...
[It is not only applicable to S/W Industry, but also to Engineering, Manufacturing Industries... and to many may be..]
Q) When I ask a person why are you working till late night?
[I have kept the different answers in different categories to discuss further
C1- Category one, A1- Answer one]
C1_A1) I have no work in my room,
C1_A2) Who the hell are looking for me at room,
C1_A3) I have no PC & no Internet in room,
C1_A4) No Free coffee/tea machines, no free phone and no A/C...
C1_A5) For my lover.
C1_A6) I am just chilling out here…
C2_A1) Duuude, I came at 11.30 AM…
C2_A2) I have taken many breaks, so have to finish my work.
C2_A3) I did not work properly yesterday, so I am doing it now.
C2_A4) I was in Share Trading whole the day, so I have to finish my work.

C4_A6) My manager was not available to assign work till afternoon, and he has given asked to finish by EOD
C5_A1) I have to stay Yaaar…Others are staying late.
C5_A2) I am fresher, I have to stay to learn more ASAP
C5_A3) I have to show-off that I am working hardly.
The above are some of the very few reasons that would make any employee to stay till late night and it is in our hands to live the way we want when we stick to the basic principles of employment. If we do not stick to the basic principles, we would live as others want!!!
Guess the categories …
We will discuss further…
