I am posting my own experience about my first job.
It is natural when students become delighted when they get recruited via campus.They seem that their life is settled. If you (person who reads this) are such a guy VERY VERY VERY SORRY you are wrong. Your real trouble starts only when you get selected.
Here I would like to pen up my miseries here:
When I was third year in my college I had tough time in getting job as I was not able to clear any aptitude tests. I missed 4 companies like this. Then I was about to give up.I decided to pursue my higher studies. But fate played in my life. Unexpectedly I got a job in a company named XXX Limited( not willing to mention).You know I am the first person in the whole college to join in that job. Joined after I completed my 7th semester. The terms are I must attend training two days per week . I spoiled my classes sometimes to attend it. I really had miserable time to balance my job and studies.
I attended full time there after I completed my graduation. While offering letter they demanded 18 montths agreement. I did not mind that as it is very common. But niether in their offer letter nor in the agreement they mentioned that my employement will be confirmed only based on performance during training. How do I know this being a fresher.They trained me in Java and J2EE Technologies. No it is not training. They did not help me in any way. I struggled to train myself to their requirements. Not even a single person in that office bothered about my presence. My bloody project manager , that stupid guy kept on giving negative reviews about my performance. He gave me a sample project. I wonder if he is aware that I am a fresher. He gave me some modules to accompolish which I found very hard. But I tried my level best to complete it.But I could not fulfill successfully. I was not given a good computer. I had a tough time. I lost my sleep, because only if that stupid approves , my employement will be confirmed. But that man did not do so. He said that I lack qualities like taking up the challenge, struggling, working hard etc etc etc. Nonsense he is not ready to change his believes and he tried to make others to believe that. I was consequently demoralised by that xxxxxxxx project manager and HR team. HR people and company MD finally came to a conclusion that I am a unfit idiot to work there. At the beginning they commented that I require only little improvement in performance . But later on they said my performance is negative. I was fed up.
I was really hurt by one of their acts. They confirmed the employment of two of my colleagues who joined with me. But not confirmed me. They approved their performances but not mine.
Had I shown some effort during my campus interview I would have got placed in a reputed concern not in this stupid company.
Thst company offers only small salary but their expectation is big like that of IBM,Microsoft. Had they offered me that much renumeration they have full rights to expect big or atleast they must have provided me sufficient training.
Had I had the skill of performing excellently there why would I join that bull shit . I would have started my own software business.
I am not writing this just because of the anger that they did not confirm my job but because of the politics. I really felt bad when my collegues who joined with me get their salary slip but I am just paid a meagre stipend amount.
So do not be elated when you get placed. It is a small company. I faced this type of politics here but in large companies the politics may be higher than I faced.
So your employment is still hanging in air. You will really face tough time only after entering in it.
I would share some experiences in my next post
