The Sunday Sandwich………

Nops..you get it wrong!! Its not about a sandwich in a Sunday breakfast nor a recipe in a particular off day that I am going to talk , rather its’ a peculiar system to be implemented in my work place to make people fall in line ( as the management says)..But for us it’s a draconian rule to cut short our so called off days already sanctioned by our company.

The leave rule says it all. The system of granted leave days ( Casual as well as planned leaves and there is another googly in terms of Excursion Leaves) All total the company gives us 30 leaves and there is 11 more from the national holiday side and that too for Raksha Bandhan , it’s a half day leave for us and there also included 1 more leave that is the election day this year ( as if it is occurring every year, I hope Indian are not that idiots to have elections each year but the politicians are..) .

Now, lets come to Sunday Sandwich. The management says that if you take leaves and in between Sunday is one of day coming in between, then this also will be counted as a regular leave like your planned leaves means for others it’s a holi day and for those unlucky people this will be totally un holy in nature means this will be deducted from the total leaves sanctioned.

How strange the culture is!! But not that strange enough So people have to pack up and join the duty on Mondays so as to save that Sunday from being sandwiched..ha ha..quite funny.

But its true and people feel the heat too and I am now going to be victim of this peculiar rule as I am leaving for my home town for 8 continuous days with Sunday being sandwiched..

So friends, I am making a pure sandwich this Sunday , anybody hungry can avail it, but sorry its not a sandwich to be eaten but it’s a sandwich not existent but to be paid for..
