There's nothing fresh and innovative about Indian work places today. I recently came across an article on the best companies to work for, and to my horror, no popular company was listed. Indian workforces, reflecting the level of the employed cadre, are fast deteriorating into gossip and political labyrinths. There is no honesty and character in the people who work. Leave aside integrity, Indians are are way behind in environmental and HR issues. The way we work reflects our mind-sets. We are too envious of our competitors. In fact competition has become the most abused word in the INdian context. Everybody is busy pulling each other down. In that sense, capitalism has failed to provide for an average Indian. Merit is no where into consideration. Family politics and nepotism have become the order of the day. If you look at our managers and leaders, they are just cartoons, mocking at themselves. Corruption has seeped into every corner of our existence. Equality has become just a race to topple the next star achiever and get some pathetically illiterate person in the place. Even the family scenario is shocking. You have rich saas-bahu sagas that drop your evolved sensibilities to a new low. Even TV is showcasing child marriage in shows like Balika VAdhu. And to think that all these issues had been wiped out from INdian sensibilities. Are we progressing in the wrong way? Even a latest TV show condemned the status of the IITs, demeaning our so-called intellectuals. Our politicians are farcical to the core. They can't even communicate, leave aside understanding the problems of governance and finding solutions. At my last job at Ambuja, I was appalled when men would overtake me at the lunch queue and just grab at the plates and food!! Talking of chivalry!!! The computers and machines were always letting us down and my esteemed colleague would keep grabbing away all my work, right under the eyes of our team head, without any reservations. Indians today are as illiterate, regressive and backward as we started out. I am shocked at how boys, especially, mock at whatever values we were taught at school. There is rampant ragging in all premier institutions. Even MBA institutions like ICFAI keep cheating and failing their students just to earn that reexam fee. It is a most disturbing situation; the recession having taught us what we were severely lacking!!! Even friends are constantly bitching and bickering with each other. Love relationships have gone sour with constant tension and friction between couples. I am afraid the worst calamity has hit us. We have turned into a ROGUE nation. And why do we keep blaming Pakistan, we are no better than them in the international context. The bubble has finally burst.
