Well well, even a school kid knows the terminology of "Metamorphosis" - It's a biological term defining a transformation cycle of a butterfly/moth into a caterpillar. But the context that i am refering to is humane & more of a literal day-to-day changes than just a physiological cycle, to add on - this cycle keeps repeating for humans.
Ok! i won't drag it anymore, am refering to the "work" phase of a person. One takes so much effort to get a job, does job-hunt, goes through interview rounds along with those terrible feelings of anxiety which keeps creeping every now & then. Finally gets a job, works for a time period to start with learning, implementation & execution //didn't want to elaborate since the reader can easily relate to his/her own experience :) // Unlike Government jobs, private sector jobs are more prone to attrition & people aspire to grow faster & high up the ladder which seems to be at a real slow pace in a govt. job // to keep aside the comfort zone & certain lifelong benefits which one enjoys working in public sector // So, closing the loop that everytime a person takes up a job, works for a certain duration & then changes thus taking up another job - it's a cycle which keeps repeating & no one else but the employees working in MNCs can better relate to these phase. You must be thinking as to why am i describing all these when everyone knows the so-called routine stuff? Well, i've a good news!! guess what??? the smart ones would have guessed it by now :p
The chain majorly comprises of " Getting a job - Job tenure - New job" . What am focussing on is a small phase called "Notice period" which starts from the moment employee informs the Boss about quitting & is officially accepted until last working day in the present organization. This particular phase can be a crucial one as in, some might be impatient to complete the service period b'coz the excitement of joining a new organization is definitely cool!! To me, my notice period was no different than my usual work :) not sure which logic to apply - fact that i am a workaholic? or boss ensuring the worth of every penny coming in my salary :p whatever, to me it was a significant period of observation.. of what?? Well, seeing my colleagues everyday & supressing the feeling of joy that i got a new job; even if it was at the tip-of-mouth but i couldn't share about it; being into conversations where people were planning for get-togethers, parties or B'day celebrations & all i could do is to stare at the much-known faces & smile but within feel a pang of sadness reminding to ownself that i would be missing everything! Not necessary all these to happen to everybody but Yes, it's happening to me & not to deny the credit going to the work culture & bonding that people shared in this organization. Every morning that i would have started my work would remind me that am serving notice period but guess, i really like my job hence, being lost into my tasks wasn't a suprise to me. Feared & counted the very day when i had to break the news, not knowing the kind of reactions to receive - that of surprise or a shock, a good news or that of disappointment or simply being happy for what is happening. I kept imagining the possible outcomes & how could i handle the situation & it wasn't until the last week of my notice period that i brought about the announcement, atleast my colleagues deserved that much & i was conviced! The work environment
does vary in a small organization than the bigger ones & so does the extent of office politics, fake flatters, unwanted rumours bla bla..
Am glad that i hardly had to go through such things. Time passed by soon enough //there were times when it was necessary to mingle, adjust, understand the psychology of the person, maintain a professional yet a cordial relation, to be ardent & demanding at times but ensuring that work flow is smooth simultaneously; finally not the least - my job profile!! Now that am just a day left to complete my notice period, i AM enjoying my last day but somewhere in my heart sadness resides.. Yet again, i hope for such afew happy moments.
With loads of <3 to those nice people & best wishes in their future endeavours!! Someday, somewhere & somehow..I'll see you guys AGAIN!! :) :) Well, i'll try meeting up whenever possible :)
