Somebody Listen To What We Have To Say!!!

Blast from the past...A mail that I sent a longtime back..

Hi,

There have been constant accusations drawn continuously at the PPC team especially the Tech Managers. We have been blamed for everything that goes wrong in here. From account cancellations to pending reports and what not. Before we point fingers at each other, would you please listen to what we have to say?

First of all, whenever the reports aren't sent on time, it could be because (unfortunately) we are humans too and could fall sick and so are at home (I do not appreciate absenteeism, but we could fall sick no? ) anyway! But it is simply ridiculous to see our names on the "Pending Reports" list when we have already sent it (but some people misunderstand due to a different Account name in the Inventory!! Mind you, Accounts have nick names too!! ). The least that you could do is ask the concerned Communication Manager if you have got the report (I know you don't trust us, so you won't ever think of asking us personally!! but I guess The Comms would never lie!!)

Secondly, do we need to still report for an account that is inactive or paused?? We really don't know!!! Please enlighten!!!

Thirdly, please keep all your ego's at home or preferably at the office's doorstep! Don't get it further in! Egos are trespassing into our workplace and into our relationships. Keep them out please!!!

Fourth, I do not know if you realise this - But We Are Humans Too!!! I know it's hard to digest that! But we aren't machines! Forgive our trespasses just as we forgive yours! We never forget that you are humans, how could you, huh??

Hey one suggestion in here - I know you all love the "CC" very much!! But you could do CC good & appreciation mails too na, what say?? Why do we get more complain mails CCed than the appreciation mail, huh??

If we ask you a simple question, let's say; if "A" asks "B" for an approval - she could say a "yes" or "no" and do the needful. No need for comments like "A, don't follow the crowd!" Just KISS (keep it simple and sweet!!) why talk something irrelevant, huh??

And one more thing, no one EVER reminds of our work!! Then why should we be sending you reminder mails, huh?? I believe you too have a daily inventory - look into it, just like we look into ours!!
Friend, we are the ones who actually do all your work, so you better be good to us! Remember - you are our face, but we are your body!!!


Lastly, smile please!!! It's not taxed yet! So make the most of it, buddy!!! And remember - WE ALL LOVE YOU!!!! We really do!! We don't have anything against you, you shouldn't either!!

Regards,
The Wrecked Tech Managers.

Do It Now!

"So tell that someone that you love, just what you're thinking of, If tomorrow never comes..." - Ronan Keating

I believe all of us have been to a funeral at least once. I've been to a couple of them too. It's sad to see that people wait for someone to die to celebrate their life!! I mean I keep hearing lines like "He was a very good man", "She was my role model", "He was the joy of my life" and many other good stuff about someone who's two feet under in the grave! I mean its all a waste, don't you think?? 'Coz they're no more!!

Look at MJ, when he was alive, people spoke so many nasty and ugly things about him, but look what happened after he died...there was a 180° turnaround, suddenly MJ was everyone's favorite, his record sales went up, his fame increased, his respect shot up, people loved him a lot more - a complete contrast of how things were when he was still alive and still there. Who knows, if MJ knew that people really loved him so much, he would have still been around...who knows??!! I guess here's a lesson for all of us to learn - don't wait for a funeral to make you think about the virtues and the good in the people around you, especially your loved ones. If you have something good to say about someone, go ahead, tell that person right now. Hmmm...I'm reminded of a hymn that I learnt as a child...

If you have a kind word to say, say it now.

If you have something to give, give it now.

If you can make someone glad or an other less sad,

Do it now! Do it now!! Do it now!!!

Now before it is too late,

Now's the time for every good deed,

Do not wait until tomorrow,

Cause it maybe just a little too late.

 

Do remember what you just read, okay???
And like my friend says "Stay Precious!!"
