Agenda & Action...

I don't claim to be an expert in anything. That would just be arrogance. But I write about things I have seen and experienced and hence I feel that I have the right to discuss it.

I have spent the last year in the trade wing of a readymade garment brand. And I realised that all plans and agendas that are agreed upon in the beginning of a period are invariably flushed down the toilet by the end of that period. The bottom line is always sales. How much are we selling at the end? So much so that, for the company I work for, nothing else matters, not even the satisfaction of the buyer.

And the most ridiculous thing about it all is the fact that the buyers are harangued to pay for goods that was billed to them without their full consent. Promises are made and not kept. And all this is done by the representatives of a very prestigious company.

All this happens after months of endless reports, analysis and crunching of data. How can a company carry on neglecting the basic needs of its business and still expect to go on existing? But it does.

And moreover, it expects its employees to work miracles in terms of expansion and numbers. I have come to hate this term "numbers". And there was a time when the term meant bare figures in Maths. Good days.

You see I have just worked for this one company and I have a lot of respect for it. But I don't think that this style of working is correct. From what I have heard about other companies, they work differently.

Anyways, I am just venting. I have discussed all of this at length with my colleagues and all of them have similar views. But nothing changes. No point in taking names and raising fingers. I just wish I didn't have to be a silent partner in all this.
