Dear Friend,

You have 2 options.

1.Plz forward the same to your boss from an unknown id or from a employees mail id who is very close to your boss personally as well in the office.I 've tested with the desired result.Next day I saw my boss out of the office at 6pm.

Note: Not very sure whether it is sent by Mr.Narayana Murthy but is certainly true to large extent.

Mail sent by Narayan Murthy to all Infosys staff:

It's half past 8 in the office but the lights are still on...

PCs still running, coffee machines still buzzing...

And who's at work? Most of them??? Take a closer look...

All or most specimens are??

Something male species of the human race...

Look closer... again all or most of them are bachelors...

And why are they sitting late? Working hard? No way!!!

Any guesses???

Let's ask one of them...

Here's what he says... "What's there 2 do after going home...Here we get to

surf, AC, phone, food, coffee that is why I am working late...Importantly

no bossssssss!!!!!!!!!!!"

This is the scene in most research centers and software companies and other

off-shore offices.

Bachelors "Time-passing" during late hours in the office just bcoz they say

they've nothing else to do...

Now what r the consequences...

"Working" (for the record only) late hours soon becomes part of the

institute or company culture.

With bosses more than eager to provide support to those "working" late in

the form of taxi vouchers, food vouchers and of course good feedback, (oh,

he's a hard worker... goes home only to change..!!).

They aren't helping things too...

To hell with bosses who don't understand the difference between "sitting"

late and "working" late!!!

Very soon, the boss start expecting all employees to put in extra working

hours.

So, My dear Bachelors let me tell you, life changes when u get married and

start having a family... office is no longer a priority, family is... and

That's when the problem starts... b'coz u start having commitments at home

too.

For your boss, the earlier "hardworking" guy suddenly seems to become a

"early leaver" even if u leave an hour after regular time... after doing

the same amount of work.

People leaving on time after doing their tasks for the day are labeled as

work-shirkers...

Girls who thankfully always (its changing nowadays... though) leave on time

are labeled as "not up to it". All the while, the bachelors pat their own

backs and carry on "working" not realizing that they r spoiling the work

culture at their own place and never realize that they wuld have to regret

at one point of time.

*So what's the moral of the story?? *

* Very clear, LEAVE ON TIME!!!

* Never put in extra time " *unless really needed *"

* Don't stay back un-necessarily and spoil your company work culture which

will in turn cause inconvenience to you and your colleagues.

There are hundred other things to do in the evening..

Learn music...

Learn a foreign language...

Try a sport... TT, cricket.........

Importantly Get a girl friend or boy friend, take him/her around town...

* And for heaven's sake net cafe rates have dropped to an all-time low

(plus, no fire-walls) and try cooking for a change.

Take a tip from the Smirnoff ad: *"Life's calling, where are you??"*

Please pass on this message to all those colleagues And please do it before

leaving time, don't stay back till midnight to forward this!!!

IT'S A TYPICAL INDIAN MENTALITY THAT WORKING FOR LONG HOURS MEANS VERY HARD

WORKING & 100% COMMITMENT ETC.

PEOPLE WHO REGULARLY SIT LATE IN THE OFFICE DONT KNOW TO MANAGE THEIR TIME.

SIMPLE!

2. The person who has resigned or who is resigning can help other by citing the reasons ( late sittings..etc) in his/her mail as well as a hard copy to your Super boss before leaving.

Risk taking during uncertainity is a great quality and any one of you can look for a job be ready with it and then request for a 1 to 1 discussion with your boss. Depending on his maturity levels and your presentation quality he would give a thought and take it constructively or he would discard outright.

If 1st situation arises he would have a positive impression on you for your forthrightness and initiative .

If 2nd situation arises you have a job ready any way.

I hope the MAIL OPTION should work..

Dear Mr. Saxena,
Do something very innovative in your morning hours, so that you not feel the burden of late sitting, because you cannot do anything in late sitting since your boss cannot change his mindset so you have to adjust with him.
or you can find out the better option for you.
take care
