job confusion
Ahh the first week of work.
Not smooth.
Full of downs and partial recoveries. Well it has got something to do with my own confused state. But then again, the place isnt top notch, really. First day was a shocked daze but i kept it to myself and sure enough had recovered by end of second day [saturday]. But then I talked to dad and he had me take a good hard look at what it is i wanted. Well that question still remains unanswered, but the logical basis for continuing this job sure got shaken.
I was under the impression that i will be on a efficiency-improvement and cost-reduction project. Monday and tuesday were yet spent in deep thoughts i guess, and i only made the decision to apply elsewhere on wednesday. I still harboured thoughts that this job wasnt so bad after all.
On friday i realised that sieving out a potential cost reduction process and then doing it might not exactly be a great thing - data analytics guys do the exact same kind of thing all the time. Big nadir.
Saturday [today], i get to know the actual work planned out for me. 'Go out there and learn [i]everything[/i]'. Do the job of despatch supervisor for a while, the live birds supervisor for some more, deboning yet another while etc. The idea is good - to expose me to operations/production in a way that will build me into a pointman for the job. Just like Soni said, become the expert in your field. Great idea, but I did well to express my reservations then and there:: i enquired about value addition and also told him about general trouble in commuting. Just to make communication smoother incase i do leave.
I thought long and hard while coming back in the train. Indeed that is the only way to learn about operations, from the grassroots. I need to be like Mr. Suryakant, not Mr. Shere. But then do i need to be here at all? Should i go through all this grind at all? The only justification is that i sense that i have a liking for operations. Now, that maybe true, but i cant see myself standing upto the physical and mental exertion! The repetitive work which will be the only way to learn. The totally altered lifestyle - wholly work oriented. [already i need to go put in 3 days night shift from monday].
The other side of the fence is full of opportunities, convenient jobs. People everywhere ask me, what the hell are your priorities? Do i want to clear the CAT this time or not? If yes, then i shudnt give much thought to the job profile, should just choose a temporary kind of a job. Makes sense to me presently. Lets see if this is the end of the topic.
