What's brewing in an employee's mind?

Come day, go day, god bless my pay day! Are you one among these employees?


Many of us are in the rat race and our daily routine starts with waking up to the alarm or having worked very late for that presentation the previous evening, shut the alarm and sleep for some more time only to wake up to being overslept and jump out of the bed, rush to the washroom, get ready, skip your breakfast and rush to catch the mode of transport bus/auto/train or drive own two wheeler or your car, face the traffic snarl on the road, keep honking at the traffic lose temper on a few slow movers, keep watching the phone at every signal at the messages or for the time, break a signal or two and rush to the office only to get dirty looks from your boss and you apologize for being late and get to join the meeting. Uffff! thank stars, finally made it on time for the meeting!


You get upset with the way the review went, day didn’t start well for you, your boss puts you down for reasons and you counter, argue, get upset, storm out of the meeting room being disappointed and completely vexed in life as to what went wrong as you slog your day and night for that organization only to find in one review that your boss remarks you with 'your efforts are not want I want to see, I need results!!!!!!' You come home upset with the whole day episode, show your frustration on your family. 'Papa' 'papa', your loving child runs and comes to you to show a piece of drawing scribbled, you are not in a mood to appreciate it, you would take a glance at it and with no heart or mind on it, you would just return to your child either with a fake appreciation or telling your child to show you sometime later. Wife approaches you asking you for your indifference attitude and you pick a fight with her and tell her to shut off. You may either end up locking up yourself in your room and keep worrying over the whole episode or get completely upset and walk out to a local bar or a pub for a couple of drinks to forget your worries.


Is this episode familiar to any of you?? 


  • Why should you slog your ass off only to get labeled at the review that you are not good enough??

  • Was all the late nights and health compromised for your job sake worth it??

  • Does your family need this treatment who are innocent ??


Well, the higher you grow up the ladder, these situations may come into your life and before the management says good bye to you and this decision one fine day breaks the day light of you, be always prepared with a plan B in life when things are going good! Be prepared to face any adversities in life. Be the winner in every situation. Fear not the pink slip days / downsizing / mergers and acquisitions.


If you have not thought of Plan B so far, it’s time to think about it! Start turning your passion into profession called plan B and over a period of time, you would end up where you really want to be for a happy living.


If nothing is brewing in your mind, start the process now.........
