You might be searching for some problems in your software. Google might have directed you to this place. If so, please get back to your work and surf some other website. After all you have your own problems to solve. In this post I will be weeping about some issues with this Software Industry.
Some of my regular readers might have decided that I am dead or got kidnapped by some pink slipped employee. But I am alive and ki(ru)cking. As a dust who has joined this dust storm called IT Industry, I was facing some difficulty in adopting myself to the changing schedules. You know as per my IT community practice, I am supposed to go for shopping every week end, date atleast once in a week and come home late; not because of work but because of the huge Human & Vehicle population in India’s IT capital, Bagalore. I am following few dharma of an IT servant.
I always wonder about the similarities in problems between the Software Industry and its capital, Bangalore. In both cases one main problem is over population. Bangaloreans face
nightmare due to the roads. Too many roads but you can’t really select a road which will make you reach home early. Similarly my fellow Recruitment managers get too many candidates for a post, but you can’t really select the right candidate. Thanks to the parallelly prospering Industries like IT education and fake experience certificate providers.
Another problem is the middle management crisis. Karnataka political stage has too many leaders interested to work as the top leader, but very few hands in the middle level. Same with our Software Industry, getting a dependable middle manager is really a mid nights scary dream.
Take the headache of Bangalore Metropolitan Corporation; they have to take care of hell lot of activities starting from the roads, drainages, transport, infrastructure and the growing new responsibilities like propagating safe sex, bringing down the property prices. Similarly each software company has loads of diverse responsibilities like putting employees from seat to bench & then from bench to seat; celebrating birthdays; policing employees; settling fights between various departments; negotiating with employees on salary; handling employees threatening to quit; threatening employees to quit etc., etc., Huge task!
Thanks to these problems there are few Industries which are shining;
1. As the monitor glows to make the country powerful, many of our eyes are becoming less powerful. The eye glass Industry is growing.
2. Thanks to late night shifts & distant offices. TATA is selling more SUMO’s.
3. The back ache ailing Industry is growing without any head ache.
4. Growing salaries, growing divorces, growing advocate fee.
5. No one wants to be a landless labour, prospering real estate business.
