Responsibilities in Work

R E S P O N S I B I L I T I E S......

Have you ever shouldered some? Or have you ever thought you need to be given some responsibilities? Well, I do. Taking in responsibilities gives me some confidence and courage. The ounce of pride which will help you attain ur goal easily and quickly. No headweight stuffs.

But in the IT industry, many can come across who are just reluctant to be responsible. They are just freaky enuf to be DJs, VJs or street side romeos. But, nobody has a clue as to why they are into a software industry. And to many of our amazement, they occasionally do well in certain areas. Like, keeping them physically well and mentally alert all times. After all, they have nothign to worry about and so they can always be ready to take up anything new. but seriously, they just take up but dont carry them for long :). Kindly apologize me, if you are one such person.

When some responsibilities are handed over to you, it is either because the other person trusts you so much and think you are the right person to do this job or you are put under test and its ur duty to do well in this job. If you arent going to keep up to the expectations in the latter case, then you can soon expect to be shown the way out. But, in the former case, the effect is kinda depreciation. You dont loose anything all ofa sudden. But slowly, you are loosing your values. Slowly the other person will loose trust in you. Soon, you will find yourself without any job. Well, who trusts you to give you a job...

There are some freaks, who will never understand the seriousness and never even have a clue of what is expected of him. When something is told to them, they just claim themselves that they have all their life to complete their task. My God!!! How do the HR recruiters miss out on these qualities.? Years back, I had a colleague of mine, who just used the office as a mere browsing center. By that time, our boss was not there to keep an eye on that F*. (Well, I just mean to say Fool) We took the responsibility and had warned him of his performance quite a number of times. But he was reluctant. Then, there came the day when I had to ask him, infact, ask him strongly that I needed him to finish off his task in another couple of hours. I was really shocked when he just shouted back at me on top of his voice. Things went rough from then on.. The point I wanted to make here is, I still dont understand why ppl are ignorant towards the responsibilities vested on them.

Well, on the other hand, taking all responsibilities on ones shoulder isnt that good too. That could end up in a real fuss. Be ready to accept responsibilities and accept whatever comes your way and most importantly, give your best to keeping up to the expectation, no matter what it takes. Well i started this blog with a diff thing in mind and i had gone in a diff direction now. No probs. This is understandable because, nobody after working for more thatn 15 hours continuously, will be able to think as clear as he would have some 10 - 12 hrs back.

More on the next blog
