This is one time of the year, when I feel very irritated with myself and helpless too ... the prime reason being that I have to resort to using the crappy means that I condemned so much a few years back.
I am talking about the managerial crap that I hated to receive from my managers .... But today how much ever I try to be objective, fair, transparent, and reasonable; there is no escape .... I do find myself resorting to some of that very crap while speaking to my subordinates ....
I have tried to reason this; haven’t got a very convincing explanation .... but I have at least understood that at times there is no way other than to beat around the bush .... am not trying to justify this but it’s a fact ... there are always a few situations when I have unwillingly had to just give fundas and no specific answers to the direct questions of my subordinates (sometimes I myself dont know the answers ... and sometimes its just not advisable or practical to share the answers wtih them ...)
Having said this I am not at all advocating for the managers who are walking stores of fundas :)
Anyways, during the last couple of days, I have received quite a few pearls of pathetic, creative and intellectual sms’s ... read those & njoi the same .. :)
My message to the world – "If you like me, raise your hand ... if not then raise your standards ..." ;) [full on attitude ... man .. awesome :-)]
Read on the fuel tank of a truck – "kam pi rani, bada mehenga hai yeh Iraq ka paani ..." [now who says truck wallahs are not intellectual and creative ???? In the light of the recent hullabaloo about the exorbitant hike in fuel prices .... it cant get more creative than this]
Aap aap ho toh kya aap ho, Hum hum hai toh kya hum hai
woh golgappa kya tasty hoga; jismein paani kum hai
isse bakwass sms bhejo; agar aap mein dum hai :)
[Can anyone of you beat this in the degree of its quotient content of pathetic ness???]
Lesson to learn from Vodafone: "job rotation"' the dog earlier with network has been now transferred to the customer care department :) [do we have a case-study here that can be used in the IIM curriculum??]
cheerio,

Seems like the appraisal period is up.. the frustration is quite natural for you as well as your directs...The only way to get over it is go to the bar and have a drink.. This for you might mean going and catching up on a cricket game :).....

and yea it wud be my pleasure to get blogrolled on your page .... might get me some good readers and friends :) thanks for the same !!! :)
@manthan -> haan yaar you got that right ... although the frustation is not because of my mgrs ... and yea cricket gives more kick anytime dude :)

@jaggu -> Thanks man !!!
Lol @ the messages! Seems like u r a member of a prolific SMS fwding racket!
On the managerial aspect..the first thing one ought to do is bring in diplomacy. U may internally think of people as 'sub-ordinates' but u ought to refer to em as 'colleagues' ;)
