I am not a Corporate by heart

It’s a sudden gift for me that the application I test everyday is not running at all. So got some free time share my views (May be it is boring) on the consultancies those are well known to help people to shift from one companies to another. Also they place freshers. What a great job their doing! But while following the process of their work I am surprised. Let me describe how they deal. I am taking myself as an example.

I sent my CV to several consultancies. Within 2 days I got a call saying – “Sir, I have gone through your CV. You need to do so and so training which will cost around 20-25 thousand and we will place you in a MNC. But the condition is, you need to pay us your 1^st salary.” Very general statement made by them. But as I told you guys that my thinking is out of box (also you can say freaky) and it sounded me like a producer is offering a film to a newcomer lady saying that –“Oh u, see I have seen your profile. You don’t have much experience you know… But still I can offer you a side role for this big budget movie if you are ready to sleep with the director and producer. You need to give me 50% of your remuneration. Are you interested?” I was surprised. I said no thanks.

Calls came in regular interval. They offered me many more things. I am not gonna share all the calls that I handled but one. It was like; a person called me up from a consultancy and said, “Abhik, how much you have experience? Can you assure me that if I send you to “X” company you will satisfy the interviewer? And if you are selected then your clients will be pleased by your service?” I asked myself, “Am I a whore?”  I replied with a silence. He asked me again “How much you are expecting as your CTC?” Now it came to my rate. I said “40% hike over my present CTC.” He replied that “If your interviewer’s are satisfied then definitely they will give you that.” I cannot remember all the things that he said to me on that day, but some of his words and my freaky thoughts forced me to take the conversation like, a Dalal (who deals on girls) is asking me that how much I am experienced in satisfying my customers. How much I take for that or what is my rate? What if I can not make them satisfied by their way? Do I expect any tip (Like performance bonus) if they are satisfied.

I know may be I am thinking in a very negative way. May be the whores and Prostitutes should think in a corporate manner and feel that they are working in a same pattern and feel good. But why not vice-versa? May be the differences are, we work 24*7 and they work at night. We work wearing a tag and they don’t. Our work is so called Prestigious and their‘s not. We work sitting on a chair and they lying on a bed.

I am not a negative thinker at all. Rather my friends say that I find +ve things in very bad situation also. But here I got the place to say what I actually think. This is a kind of thinking that I shared. If you are reading this (I am extremely thankful to you) and you hate this thinking, you can shoot me hate emails to my id i.e. avik14703@gmail.com .

Oops got a new build to test. Need to rush. Catch you later. Tataz and byez.
