Since i have joined my job which is a good gone by gods grace , a lot of people have started asking me , guru pls help me with a job. and I try to. And here I am not boasting . I am writing this out of frustration and anger.
recently a junior of mine wrote too me asking for a similar help but back in India. I replied him i cant guarantee as we operate in silos but will give it a shot. I wrote to my HR in India about his case and after going thro a chin in the back ground the HR head replied back saying he can be in touch with me. I immediately wrote to him abt this and giving him the necessary details. its more than 48 hrs i am yet to get an acknowledgement from this junior guy. ( he had incidentally replied thrice in an hour during the initial conversation).
Now this is where my anger starts and frustration. what kind of ethics have you folks been taught. HOW SELFISH ARE YOU FOLKS. Here I am not expecting you to acknowledge just because I helped you out. I am expecting it because my reputation and relationship with these folks are at stake. next time round if I want to help out another friend or acquaintance, i mite not be able to do so , if this idiot had screwed it up with the HR. as they say in B2B its all repeat business and at no point in time I want my reputation to be tarnished. at the same time if this bugger does something i can atleast do some damage control.
btw this guy is doing his MBA. now if he doesn't know the basic rule of people management WHAT IS THE STUPID REASON BEHIND DOING AN MBA. and this is not hte only idiot. there are many cases like this. once owrk done wash your hands and go off. dont even bother to acknowledge. sometimes this does tell something about your personality and mind you i wont even give you a damn look next time. I am dead sure that if he cant have even this courtesy he cant succeed in corporate life . I am not giving gyan but 'corporate life is all about people, you get them right everything will automatically happen' - golden words of one of my mentors.
I did happen earlier when I had a chance to refer someone - a defenite hit, i did refer a couple of folks who went thro teh process and were courteous enough to maintain teh relationship with the contacts even though they did not make it through. while I purposefully did not put forward a couple of my friends where again my word would have been taken positively , just because i knew that the people i refer were ABSOLUTE BLUFFERS and would bring my reputation down. and another guy was as selfish as he could be that i did not want to take a chance.
But now this incident puts me in a bigger dilemma - next time some one comes should I help or not? he or she mite be well cultured. who knows? I am in a fix! shall i be me or close the door.
