- “Yeah! I love my job.. A lot to do.. And handsome monies in pocket.. But love my evenings and weekends too.. Can't miss them at any cost..
- Of late, the Boss is looking out for me almost daily.. He exactly comes with a problem at 5.. That way, there's no end to this work..
In early 30s..
- “I may be a Dy. Manager here but that doesn't mean that I've no family life.. Love to be very much with my people in the evenings..
- Of late, the Boss is eyeing me a lot.. He expects me to stay back daily whether work is there or not.. Doesn't go home but stops those who are interested to go..
In 40s..
- “Am the Group Head here and my work is almost unending.. Want to spend evenings with my family on week days but not at all getting time for that..
- Of late, the Boss is frowning, the moment I ask for a day to go early forget about leave.. Any way, that’s the life here and equally the job too can't be neglected.. After all, the same family will not be happy if my Career is put on hold..
In early 50s..
- “As Team Lead, my responsibility is quite high in my dept.. And equally important.. I need to set an example to my Staff..
- Here, if I stay over daily for some time in the evenings, my people sure stick to their seats beyond the siren hrs.. Of course at home, the works are no less, only are of different nature as now a days the children manage many things by themselves..
In late 50s..
- “I am the HOD here.. A very responsible and dignified post for.. Any how at home, life is streamlined a lot except for 2 coming up major responsibilities from my side.. More important..
- I have a code of discipline at my work and all my Team Leaders need to be strictly coming under the discipline of staying a few hrs extra daily.. I know, they don't like it, but..
And during the last 2 yrs of Service..
- “This is GM’s Post.. No doubt, my HODs are doing their best but I should forever keep them on their toes.. The only way here is.. I should have DRMs (Daily Review Meetings) on the day's progress of activities.. If I've to do this, I need to extend my stay here till 8 PM daily..
- No prob, the children are grown up, are living with their own responsibilities and many times, the extended family now a days have their special evenings without my presence.. That way seen, can definitely go home late almost daily.. Let me go ahead with full swing with these DRMs.. Am sure my folks will be unhappy..
