Mere Sapno Ki..
It has been six years for me as a software engineer and whereas it has been a fashion to bash politician for being corrupt, my regard for anyone who claims to be software engineer/software manager or whatever they call themselves has diminished. At this moment of this, I have slightly less loathe for politicians than these so called IT guys ( there are few exceptions however).
A so called software guy from Infosys happened to be on the same train as me. The train journey was 50 hours or so. On the last day, he asked the caterer to make the bill for a larger value than he has actually consumed. ..wait a minute...isnt this guy supposed to earn a lot of money in Infosys . How can Rs100 or Rs 200 earned in this dishonest way going to help him. When I thought about what this guy was telling about in the last 40 hours..most of it was directed towards the corrupt politicians et al. I thought if this guy was a politican and if he could, he would have sold India - thank God - our politicians are not selling our country.
So when guys in Intel were fired for faking bills, there was no one more happy than me. Atlast something has been done right.
I know the work of a sale's girl in a software company. I wont reveal the name of the girl or the company ( and if you know them) dont post it for obvious reasons. What they had to do as their job is to get an English name and say "Hey I am Jenifer, Why dont you buy our product". What a nobel profession!! You lie about your own name but you are the respected IT sales girl. Or even guy. There is not even a single reason why prostitutes should not consider herself to be having more self-respect than you.
I have know software engineers to "negotiate" about their salary ( There are 2 words I hate - negotiation and compromise. ) So what is this negotiation like. Believe it or not it is worse than what pimps might do. 50$...okay 30$ and there they stop..take it ( or her) or leave it. But these software guys and girls will stoop to any level to ensure they get more money. For example guy X is getting 4000$ per month in its company, he gets an offer of $4500 per month in another company. What does he do. He gives a dummy resignation in his present company and asks for $4600 salary. Once he's got that , he goes to the company who gave him the offer and BEGS for $4700 . This goes back and forth till one of the company tells X - "Enough negotiations dude" ( This example is real - the name of the companies involved wont be revealed - the salary given is fictious).
Then I know someone who used to give dummy resignation every six months and his salary increased 1 or 2% every six months. Why do companies have such guys is a mystery to me.
There are lot of such stories I know about the so-called profession called IT. It clearly aint no noble profession. Prostitution is one profession that is very honest comparitively. You give this - you take this. No hidden charge. No hidden burdens.
