Office and College



Why cant office be more like college and University? Imagine being able to take a leave when you want, and going to work only when there is something that really needs your attention. Leave as early as you want and come in as late. There should be no one to say anything and no one to reprimand. There's more...maybe throw in a few cheap canteens where you can sit and give endless adda over steaming cups of tea and the occasional shared ciggarette, and maybe a nap once in a while in a secluded corner with no one to disturb! Aaah....now that would be paradise! Now I'm missing J.U.! :-(

Not that I'm saying there would be no work done. Of course, there would have to be time for that too! I'm talking about when there is leisure time on hand...and in my job I seem to have plenty!

  • A lot of companies allow flexible timings. Google, Microsft, Sun-all big companies allow you to go and come whenever you want to as long as your job is done on time. You can also work from home and wear whatever you want. You should try to get into one of those places.

  • as jetru has already said there are many companies working in that way. i used to work in one of them. it might not be as good as you expect. you think that you are in control of your life and can go to work any time you want, but suddenly you can find yourself working even maybe more than 16 hours a day.

  • Thanks for your comment on writing in practice. I hope work is not turning out to be too boring!

  • Life has a lot of phases and each of them teaches new things.
    But all of us have an inertia in us
    When we are in college we curse the lectures.
    Its very difficult but the best way is to enjoy whatever happens
