the cycle has turned full circle. it was nearly two years ago that I would, with this liberty, chat with friends , mail forwards etc from this very seat. in between I've done all those things but what was missing was the liberty.it was my release from TCS today. I wonder why they call the process a release...I would only use that term for animals - like the relase of a monkey in wilderness, or the release of fishes in water - you get the point?so I was talking about liberty. I would not say that I was shackled to my workstation or was being monitored a la 1984, but there was always this obligation to go back to work.its very evident from what I've written above that it was not something that I enjoyed doing. if I look back and think deep, its was not something in particular that irked me , rather it was a part of everything , every entity in the system that seemed rotten. work environment and work ethics was one. next was rampant disobeying of rules and going against the company principles - peeps higher up never ceased from using lofty terms like integrity, broader visions, morals , ethics but all these were used to add up numbers to win some award or the other. our office which was easy to get in most of the year used to become a fortress at the time of security audit. I could have continued working inspite of all these things, but essentially it was the work which was such a turn off. whereever there are people , there would be such problems - so I cannot guarantee myself a better deal in my next job. I know I've made a wise decision. ...and even if tis for a few days, I'm enjoying my liberty.
