I remember when I was transitioning a project from Unilever Aus, we used to stay opp to the office and will go and work in our kachas (would you believe it!!) after dinner in the night. It was a liberaaaaaaating experience.

Now one could simply use words like boss, colleague, coworker, chairperson, lift assistant, PA, clerk or peon.<br /><br />The way we don't have gender specific (but unnecessary) words like teachress, doctress or surgeoness, one could do away with chairman and too.<br /><br />Enjoyed reading this creative take on the tag Ramesh!!

I always wonder ho...Another Refreshing Sunday Post. I always wonder how you always manage to find something absolutely different every Sunday and each one – a completely different shade.<br /><br />Well Mr. MCP, now this is not a remonstrance as you haven’t encroached too much into any sensitive area just an amplification of certain lines on your post.<br /><br />Friday Dressing: If there wasn’t a concept of Friday dressing, many offices will have to put up with unwashed jeans with threads hanging out and free T shirts with all sorts of logos through out the week. Atleast this way, the exposure is restricted to a day<br /><br />360 Feedback : the 360 is not coz the giver is frightened to give otherwise, but the taker never wants it otherwise. <br /><br /><br />Paternity Leave : People are normally granted 3 weeks leave for marriage and 2 weeks leave for paternity. I guess, it’s a outcome of a scientific study of how long a relationship can keep a man’s mind occupied. Maybe empirically it has been seen that men prefer to return back to the “Office Beauties” after this period<br /><br />Pink offices: These are small attempts to distract the MCPs back to work from the other colors in office which occupies their minds if not their eyes most of the time. <br /><br />The company magazine Atleast there should be one magazine which can be kept on the desk and which dosent distract the MCP from work – isn’t it. the other magazines ofcourse fill the racks and the bags<br /><br />Water cooler, coffee machine : Men manage to sneak out to the road side chai wala accompanied by a smoke without being noticed. Women still need to learn the act and get caught at the coffee machine. <br /><br />Karwa Chauth : Well any holiday is just a reason to find one more day not to work. Whether you call it karwa chauth or you call it Bharat Bandh. All these are ways which men have devised and strategically, if is tagged to any heavy emotional stuff linked to the other sex, it works. <br /><br />Potted Plants : My doctor tells me, it seems, 40% of the population in any city which uses corporation water in India is struggling with gastric complaint. Let the plants be – it helps<br /><br />Gender correct English - you don’t call a post “person” or a lift “person”. A chair woman sounds like a chair maker. Chair person is still better. <br /><br />Tissues In the meeting room : well, she wouldn’t mind to bawl outside the gates. Provided you can manage those activists coming right into your nose and asking you 10 questions.<br /><br />You can come out of your hide now - dont worry, people like you so much that whatever you say, you will most get acknowledged, you may sometimes get a repartee but never anything which you ever need to fear off :-)Sandhya Sriramhttp://sandhyasriram.sulekha.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740849900073154554.post-58293923096659066822010-07-11T14:22:38.294+05:302010-07-11T14:22:38.294+05:30Hahaha...

Indeed hilarious! <br /><br />You have thwarted the risk of wearing on PPs beautifully.

To add on, what about those cribbing acts in company cabs! ;-)Vishalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09901902300962335348noreply@blogger.com
