I want to know what am I doing here in this God forsaken company? People here consider change as their biggest enemy. I just wrote a private invitation in two formats for the MD who had sent instructions he wanted a new format different from the "request the pleasure of your company" one. Now this middle man, rejecting my suggestions, has just written a NEW manuscript for the same invite in which he has made the earth shattering change from "so and so's rendition of ghazals" to "the recital of ghazals from so and so," and the rest remains, "request the pleasure of your company." And he is faxing it now.
These people are so horribly behind times and are extremely well paid for it.
I feel I should print this line in 20 points and put it up on my desk.
"Behind times and paid for it."
The other day I composed something for the monthly newsletter and deviated from the NORMAL format. It became quite an issue. I had made the mistake of writing "Mr. and Mrs. So and so were blessed with a son ..."
The normal format goes "A son was born to Mr and Mrs So and so." See what earth shattering changes I am proposing to this company. I am talking about automation, editing on computers, layout design on computer, and the man on top tells me "you are trying to elbow me out of the company." Man, what am I doing in this company?
