THE UNPAID 4 TO 9 : JOB DRAMA

While fun was at its peak , so was the job and its requirements . We were required to attend families , give them a presentation for membership . And .. when failed to make them members ... mental harassment ...

The first family that i attended was a disaster . We were given the training . Explained how the families are lured to the office ... Well , its simple !! callcenters called up these families and invited them saying

" Sir / Ma'am ... congratulations , you have won a free gift from our company for the coupon you filled at so and so location . Would you please spare an hour to collect the gift "

Well the real story about these was that they never ever filled any coupon . Unattentive , they dont remember that . Then the other interesting part was that our managers strictly gave intructions to the callcenters , to not to invite any comissioned officer , like cops , and anyone from press ... the question is " WHY ??? " .

And then when these families came in . They were given presentation by us , the consultants .
We were actually trained to fool these families . Block their minds , make them dream , and feel a loss , which wasn't actually , if they were not becoming a member . Well the work was that
when a family came in , one of the member was asked to fill up a form , seeking job description , car and credit card used and a few more things . These information had two uses . First , to set the criteria for paying the callcenters and the other to trigger a warm-up .

Well the consultant's part began with the warm-up ( informal talks ) then the warm-up of the product and introduction to the company and a few more procedures explaining the membership with a few intervals of manager's work namely pre-marketing , where in the gift is explained, and marketing , wherein pricing is done ,and doubt clarification .
In the process , we did many things immoral ... pinch them , hurt their sentiments ... and every possible things to get them into pocket . Shamefull !!

  • The day i gave my first presentation ... disaster!! ... immediately after i had finished i turned so weak , that i cunt even utter a word , could not smile , to the least ... In my office , i have always been known as silent and serious . But that day , i must have seemed like a rat !! ..
I had decided to quit , but then thanks to CHE GUEVARA , whom i idealize as angel to help humanity , his saying

" HASTA LA VICTORIA SIEMPRE "

meaing " until victory , always " .. kept ringing in my ears ... different story , all together .
Well what had actually happened was that when i begani started " welcome to Exciting Holidays" .. well i was expected to talk and have a kind of warm-up with the family . The couple was newly married . I asked them " where did you go for honeymoon . they replied " shimla" .. " okay " i replied .

I had this special tool , the " okay " .. I never bothered to listen or care for the answer ... Put up a question and then think of another . But when i failed to think of a new question , while answer was given out , to avoid a lull .. I used to

nodd my head and utter " Achcha ... Achchchchaaaa !! "
and used to swing my chair or nodd it too ... !!
and then a new question , and it is put forth .

So when the answer " Shimla " was given .. I , nervous , asked them

" so where will you guys go for the next honey moon ? "

... more than me , one should have had a look on their face ..

And then , all of a sudden i remebered my mother's saying " beta ! honesty is the best policy "
I surrendered and said " sorry ! this is my first experience , please dont mind me "
And may be because of this they spared me when i asked them

" how many kids do u have ?"
when i was supposed to keep in mind that they were newly married couple ..

The Family since , poorly uttered was not even regarded properly by our managers and PEPSODENT dhushoom dhushoom !! just drove them away treating badly . Her rude treatment turned me real nervous , cause they retaliated and i had to face their temper and abuse . Though , the family before leaving said me that it wasn't my fault .

Soon , we were too realise that this nature of PEPSODENT dhushoom dhushoom , which cause heavy havocs in the office with many a times familes , our customers , just bursting anf firing ..
Well , she can be forgiven this faults of her could not be completely blamed on her

  1. might be , her background .. quite uncivilized one !!
  2. may be due to certain mental problems
whatever !!


  • RIMPY !! .. lol !! .. The day she gave her first presentation

she began howling " Jo Bole So nihal Sat Sri Akal "
And then she began . Colleagues sitting close to her table just could not resist bursting into laughter .

She started with the procedure ,. Talks less and spends most of her time laughing. This was too avoid short warm up . When ever a little smile worthy joke would sprout she would laugh heavily .. look here and there , show to managers that she's bringing good amount of laughter , which she was required to do ...and .. and .. 5 minutes passed !! ..
And then , the systematic procedure .. she seldom mis-presented .
She would begin with something and realize that she missed something , when she realized this
she the great head ... interrupts and says " just a minute , i'll continue this in a minute i actually forgot to tell that ... " result - family puzzled !!

Once , when she started to show a set of snaps , which we usually said were of Mrs. Pathak's , a fair lie ... She , almost threw the snaps on them , and said in a heavy voice
" Ye Bathroom "
... !! Thanks to Almighty they dint pee in their pants !! ...


And for all these when we were pointed out about our mistakes
  • i kept silence and made direct eye contact
  • whereas Rimpy .. all " he he ha ha " .. just laughed , and laughed .. and laughed !!And when asked for the reason later on ,she told she was shying ... what a way of shying !! .. jai sardarni !!




PS : GOD SAVE ME FROM RIMPY !!
