OFFICE OFFICE

In the past week i have been actually trying to step out and fine a boundary line between the timw that i had in college and the working place. Its not actually very easy for me. I think i am not able to just mould myself in to the serious manager mode. Its just not very simple. I guess there is just so so much to learn from people around me. Tiday i had another experience. Today my manager actually had a meeting with me..he called me and then actually told me that he wanted me to work properly.....to deliver consistently....not only do my job but to actually be ready top give in that extra effort. Well..that was not a problem. That i would have done either way. SO that was pretty good for me.he also told me the need to learn people management. He said he wasnt happy the way his current team is working..and so he expected a lot from me. Well.....there was nothing for me to say...but i am ready to learn. But there was more coming my way. I was actually thinking that it would be all fun working here..learning things...no pressure i thought. But lot was coming my way. I went back to my place and after that i got a call again and the whole Tech. team had been called to his cabin. SOo...there actually the boss made himself sound loud and clear. he had some problems with some members who he thought were not working properly. He just asked everyone of us that if someone wants to quit this team(which actually i think means the job)..please do it voluntarily..or he would decide. He wasnt happy with the tram work and he made that clear. That had nothing to do woth me coz i have joined just a week ago. Lot of bitching followed afterwards which i think isnt worth remembering. The boss hasnt actually fired anyone but he actually has made his intentions very clear. Deliver or get Dumped. That was when i actually realized that this wasnt an ordinary college life and everything has to be taken very seriously. I mean i actually realized the consequences. I was upset for sometime and trying to grasp things. Then in the evening a colleauge was leaving the job ..he worked here for the past 6 years...he got a better offer and was quitting. We had a warm nice farewell party..that made things lighter a bit. Then i left and had to have this long ride back home. Its Christmas time and our office has been decorated fully. From outside it looks beautiful and everything......but the people working there are actualy in the same screwed state like always. !!
