Job switching...why not!



Some reasons why you are not getting the next big job that you are looking for?

Or why you are still stuck in the same job??

  1. today's times are difficult. ps.ps. there are no new jobs. you should hold on to your existing job. that's what they want you to think (who are 'they'?)
  2. you are just not good enough to get a new job. god only knows how you have survived in your current job. (lol - if you think the truth is always bitter, try lal toofan. the truth will taste better!!).
  3. you really don't want to leave your current job. really...?? (admit it - you are in love - probably with someone on the job or the chair or your desk or the coffee vending machine - where else can you get free coffee)
  4. companies are not ready to pay you what you want. you must be asking for a raise...!!!! (raise in today's times! that's only for CEOs who get paid a lot more money to make sure they pay someone who will plan how someone else will manage the people who will oversee what your superior asks you to do)
  5. u are not ready to believe what companies think u r worth. they r actually offering to pay u less than what u get today. wow...!
  6. companies are not offering the role you want. they want you to work (not everyone is superman! try wearing your underwear inside out - maybe that will take you somewhere!!)
  7. you are not ready to accept the role companies want to give you. (really??? does my aptitude test say that i'm more suited to be a janitor?? dont' tell anyone what's being offered)
  8. you don't like the work place where the company is located. there is no mcdonald nearby.  (come on, mac is so passe! use swiggy, foodpanda, etc - any of those apps to order your food. get a life and a new excuse).
  9. you don't want to relocate to a different city. its just more work. (ya, more work for someone else. why would you care? you are never going to move out of your parents house).
  10. it usually takes a few months to get a new job. and nobody believes you when you say that. (i believe in you and so does the sun, moon and the stars. but how does that matter?)
  11. companies want you to join now and you have a release period of 3 months. isn't that a good thing? (if you can't survive anymore in this job, just walk out. right here, right now! btw - don't forget to pick up those balls that you dropped).
  12. you still have faith in your organization. (mere karan arjun aayenge!!!) then why are you reading this...???

PS. This was written in 2012. I wonder why I never published it. Everything applies even today.
