The day I stuck at 13.2.1 of Employee Hand Book

Sometimes I felt like to be under the system, follows all the rules and regulations, not to deviate from the standard terms and conditions. But the big question always remains the same.

1. What is system

2. Who defines the system

3. Can the system be changed on the drop of the hat

4. Can it be modified according to the benefit of an individual

Then, the dilemma continues…and the as usual answer “ Leave that, carry on” it is not going to change and you do not have a say on this thing. Take it or Leave it, it is the same rule on both the side of the coin.I feel pressurised, a sense of not doing anything, a sense of putting all things down, the brain stops functioning, the hand do not have an urge to write and blah blah….

I got stuck and the thoughts from no where come to my mind. An ocean of questions keeps trying very hard to come out of my mind through my face, not able to hide it. The eyes speaks of different language, the blood pressure rises suddenly with out anybody noticing it, neither do I. I want to vent out the anger but do not find a right place and a right time.

Wanted some good things to happen but it is like all good things are on the other side of the coin and I am told that you can not enjoy both sides of the world. What for!! Why not?? No body bothers to answer my questions.

Then I seek answer from the not very old Employee hand book, the so called bible of the company and the rule book everybody should follow with out hesitation, I find the good things which can inject the sense of satisfction to the employee being removed and a new para being added to it. The black printed letters seems to cover the joy of my heart with a dark cloud.

Suddenly something is happening to me and I find that my not so known wicked mind starts working and it seems that it has all the answers at one go and it stands in front of me, laughing at me , my degrees, my capabilities and says to me what you get with all the good quality you possess, try a bit of me and enjoy the world like anything. I am bit convinced and would like to blindly follow him whereever he takes me.

It seems that the employee hand book is like “ Fasi ka Farman” the death sentence and I must overcome this to live my life at the fullest. I found to my surprise that I got stuck at 13.2.1 which says me that your service will automatically counted as service break if you take LWP for 15 days or more and I find it the best solution to keep myself free from this corpoarte jungle.

The wicked mind says YES , go for it as this is the only way you can be happy and it will set you free from the unknown and self created prioson you have yourself established.
