Being in a residential college, living on the campus had its own challenges. Away from home every single step was a judgment (small or big). It was amazing how there was a lot of angles to every small thing, lot of view points on almost every issue. It was a learning experience where you would learn to live with disagreements, animosity and friendship. It was amazing how everyone not in agreement would take a deep sigh and move along. And to add to the amazement was the fact that after all these we all could stand together for the batch we were.
But not in professional life, not in an organization where you are working would you ever fathom things like this. But it happens. That is what I hate the most about the Indian work culture. One would think that people know where to draw the lines. They know which battles to pick. But believe me you have no idea when there can be surprises sprang at you.
I fail to understand how and why people cannot respect other people working for them. Or for that matter why the people do not understand the limitation of their managers. It is a two-faced sword. There is no right or wrong.
Why do we have the so called superiority or inferiority complex when it comes down to work professionally?
All our life we are taught how to respect others small or big. What is that singleton thing that triggers the lesser among equals attitude.
I might be biased and there are good managers, colleagues etc. But most of the people I hear about; they make me think twice. Would I be the same some day; a person with complete lack of empathy! Only time will tell I guess.
