My mom keeps telling me a couple of things these days, especially since my internship started.
1: You cannot choose who your boss is
2: You cannot choose who your parents are
The latter because she has seen a ton of children mess about with their parents in their old age, while the former because she sees me coming home absolutely pissed and angry, the family genes finally kick in, I do have crazy anger like both my parents.
How did I unlock this rage?
Lets go back a couple of days, well actually 4 weeks back when we had to meet the MD of the company where I was doing my SIP, while the bugger did talk big about his company and all, he somehow thought we had done no work at all for a couple of weeks, which was far from the truth, the thing was that the regional manager wanted to save his ass and thus he threw us interns into the deep end of the pool.
This regional head was the bloke who made 1.45 Crore in one financial year and then came to work in a company which was barely 2 years in its existence, Why?
Because he loves money, that is his only motivation,I got plans for that.
So while 6 weeks pass without much problems barring the one i just stated above, we got most of the work done and were in the final leg of making the project for submission, we hear that the boss wants to meet us and talk to us, when we reach the 666 office, (6 camac street, 6th floor, suite no 600) we see that the boss is ripping all the employees into pieces, we weren't scared, as we had come prepared with our own arsenal. We , however didn't meet the boss but the regional head who knowing well enough that we have barely 7 days left in our internship gives us a new project to be done in less than 7 days.
The new project was located around 50 kms from Calcutta, which to a normal bloke would not seem to be far but the conditions of the roads in Calcutta make a 10 km, 20 minute journey, one that lasts more than an hour, so this journey was to take around 2 hours, easily.
I had decided that no one would be going to this new project in the middle of nowhere, but a few pals told me that since we had not caused much of a stir in the office and its our last week, we might as well visit the place, once.
We did visit the place, when we actually vehemently said that we would not to the regional head, who came up with crap assed excuses like "I have not forced you guys to do anything" and all, in fact in the office people had to calm us interns down as we would have actually beaten up the said guy.
So we went to the site, with no names, or even an address of the project, a residential building is coming up somewhere in the middle of a jungle, this part of the city does not speak hindi, which was bad for me as my bengali is not up to the mark. Fortunately the other interns can speak pretty well, so while we spent around 1 hour just searching for the place, the regional head tells us to wait in the developers office and that he would come soon, the time was around 2 PM , we waited till around 2:30 before we called the HR and asked about the whereabouts.
The developer was actually in our office signing some papers , with the regional head also there, he fucking knew the developer would not be in Andul but in Calcutta, yet he sent us there to do nothing and waste our time, fuck the head we left for home.
The next day we again decided we were not going, no fucking way, this time the douche greets us and asks us about the project, we told him the project was shit and we have no idea as to why the firm was trying to sell a building in the middle of nowhere, where a local dealer would sell this property and that there was no need for the company to deal with it as they had no scope of selling anything or gaining anything fruitful from it.
He then tells us that there is this huge piece of land another 20 minutes from the first property and that was their main aim, this was a side project of the same developer, so we should go to the market place and get the views and ideas of the people there as to what are their needs and wants, initially we were asked to get around 50 leads per person so that these people would want to buy the flats, we got so upset with this bit as we had just gone to that place and they told us to do nothing, this time we told em that we would go the next day but not today
The head asks me "What are you going to do today?"
I got pissed and replied "Am going home to do nothing"
That shut him up, the HR had to come and solve the problem, now we had to interview 25 people and get the hell out of the place, while the head kept on insisting that he would meet us there at around 2 PM.
We reached Andul and started pestering a lot of people in the area for their views on a new project, while people didn't care about swimming pools and gymnasiums in the complex, they wanted power back up and car parking, but I don't think you guys give a shit to this bit so I am moving on, while I nearly pissed off and got thrown out of a photocopy ( its not xerox , idiots) center as I couldn't speak proper bengali.
Fast forward, its 2:30 and no sign of the head, so we call the HR who calls the head, who calls us and tells us to wait near the SBI ATM and that he would be there in 2 mins, it becomes 3 PM and no sign of him yet, we then see the old bloke from the developers office rushing out in his cycle, we shout out to him and find out that our head is sitting in the office and is waiting to have something to drink, sprite is the choice for today.
At 3:30 we call him again and this time he says he can see us in front of the ATM
We tell him where ? we aren't at the ATM
He replies, where are you?
We tell him that we are close by, we were standing near the developers house and the douche is walking with a smile but that smile fades when he sees 5 angry people looking at him.
Now the freak is caught, so we ask him how he came here?
He says via bus, we rip him as he did not have a ticket to prove it, damn douche was lying again when he said that there was a good restaurant close by , again crap, we gave him those 25 response sheets that we had got and left.
Today, there is no smile on his face when he enters the office but I give him this wry smile and greet him in my obnoxious rapist tone "Good morning Saaaar", freak didn't respond, then he comes to me and tells me that we are going to Andul again and starts telling me and showing me on a piece of paper where he will place some billboards and all, the entire time I am playing Angry Birds on my cell and not giving a damn to what he says, all the other interns come, he says the same crap, no one gives a shit and we leave for home.
Fuck it, we got 4 days left, I am not going half way across the state to some undeveloped village and getting pissed for no reason.
this douche said his only motivation is money, If I become this big tycoon, I will buy him and make him clean public urinals with his mouth, pay him handsomely I will but he better be prepared to become a real douche.
