Flexi office timings – what the F!

It’s so Indian – if someone tries to do something good for you, he has to be seen with suspicion. Now my HR Department decides to come up with flexi-timings, and here we are discussing why! How is the management profiting? Are we being made to work more for less money being paid? Well, Well! My benefits? They come much later.

With the mail confirming that the flexi-timings would be applicable from September, the mid-management or the mid-level manager along with its trusted ones went into a huddle. The motive was to manipulate the policy to suit his near and dear ones. If his colleague-friend is tagging along with someone else (read ‘me’) for his daily commuting, he will now bend the provisions in the policy so that it complies with the timings of his friend.

While I have two colleagues with whom I have to co-ordinate to get my timings to office right, I almost forgotten the third one who had made a late appearance to the scene in commuting along with me and incidentally the friend of this manager. So one can understand what my timings will be.

So tomorrow is my judgment day. I can either come and go at a suitable time that fits my bill or can make changes so as to suit the purpose of this gentleman whose very sight gives you the creeps and you start hating yourself for being such a loser to be working in the same office with him. Knowing me, I will probably silently suffer and vent out my frustrations blogging again tomorrow. I need a miracle!
