Keep going!!!

"Change is the only constant and embrace the same".How often have we heard this?While yes change is the only constant ,the process brings in lots of fear, the fear of unknown .However the process in itself leaves us with so many discoveries!

As we say a good bye to 2024 and welcome 2025, I am all set to apply the principle of "start,pause and continue". 2024 from a professional side has taught me a lot and here are my reflection:

1.People will talk and there is no control on it, if it is not so positive.

2.Trust your gut health, if things are not falling in place, see if you can try to alter what is bothering, if not leave.You don't have to be a winner everytime, you may lose but you still learn.

3.When you switch jobs, have a fake smile,  keep telling people you are greatful to have them in your life and you are so lucky to be in that place.I failed to do this.

4.Insist on having one on one with your boss, it can be without an agenda.

5.Prioritize mental health.

From a personal side grateful to have people whom I can rely upon and thankful for all the love and support I receive everyday.My parents are my idols and I continue to admire them everyday.My daughter teaches me to let go off ego, trying to adapt her way though finding it challenging as an adult.

"That resource"

It was a normal start of the week in front of the laptop with some "Monday morning blues".As we progress during the day a ping from your not so favorite team member says " Hi, I have resigned".Wait a minute, did I actually think about this during the early morning shower and upon hearing I felt close to a 5 year old getting the much awaited ice candy! Lesser was I aware that the candy was bound to melt in no time. 

Weeks passed by and the " not so favorite" resource gets snobbish and gets on to a paid vacation mode or the honeymoon phase! I am there at the other end completely clueless on this sudden change / shift in behavior.Corporate politics is no new jargon. Lesser did I know what the person has gone and ranted to all the big wigs in the team about me and their resignation. I am assigned a new resource and is expected to let go off the "not so favorite" resource in 2 days' time. While a CM gets to resign immediately, not a corporate slave. The snobbish slave puts forward all sorts of statements such as being left out in lurch with no handholding and what not. After few days , few of us get into the call, listened to her story and laughed out our heart. When a person realises the incompetency is being surfaced, they resort to corporate politics, feeling burnt out, blame game and use terminologies such as toxic environment, sustainability and list is never ending. Where does this all start and do we see a finish line here or is this a pattern. Can we even relate to the phrase which is not new to us- " Empty vessels make most noise".We often hear junior team members being a victim of corporate politics, what when a senior person is being subjected to the same. How do you process it. Does it make you feel awful for no fault of yours or does it make you agitated with all thoughts smeared upon you and you wish you had a magic wand to cast the spell upon all your surroundings!

call it a learning or a frustration!!!!!!!!!
