From few days events were happening in such a manner,
which are again and again enforcing me to write an article on this issue.
Few days back when Standard
& poor(S&P) degraded the U.S. rating from AAA to AA which again put
the U.S. and its economic condition in
limelight and made many economist think why U.S. is facing such an issue and
what would be it’s solution.
Secondly, I came to know that India’s Investment
rating is BBB- which is lowest in investment rating and if it goes further down
it would be junk bonds which means that there is no future of investment in
India. But, what does it all have to do with the Title…B’coz most of you must
have figured out that this is a dialogue from a latest movie ‘Singhham’ and Ajay
Devgan speaks this dialogue to his senior when his senior threatens him with
resignation, but wait I will explain it later….
Also many people do ask me that why I have joined an
NGO after completing my M.B.A. and how do I survive in this salary. Yesterday I
was standing on the bus stop when one uncle inquired that do I work in I.T.
sector and on listening No he took
out all his anger saying that ‘U.S. Ka
diwala toh nikal gaya hain..ab bas in IT park ki baari hain ..jarroorte itni
barh gayi hain inki aura ab salary ke wande lag jaayenge…’ and there is a
bit of truth in his talk and then in
afternoon I was
talking about the U.S. issue with my didi when she
responded that her company may also face some problems in near future.
So are the trouble times really ahead of us…. and what
is the solution to protect ourselves from it….
So coming back to the title and the question I raised
regarding this talk and the title so if you look deep in the dialogue and with
what the U.S. is facing right now you will understand the connection and that
this particular dialogue from ‘Singham’ offers solution of our current problem.
Ajay Devgan was ready to face all the consequences and
take the risk because he knew that if his senior also fires him he would be
able to cope up.
And similarly we all have to really reduce our needs
to the extend possible so that if at any point the bad news comes to you..It
would surely hurt but then you would know that someway you would be able to
manage.
I do know many cases where an employee keeps on
working for his boss without liking his job or his boss because now he has
started to spend his weekend by shopping and eating in lavish hotels and if he
leaves his current job he won’t be able to afford that.
It becomes like a vicious circle whereby with the
increase in salary you start to increase your expenditure and with the increase
in expenditure you start demanding more salary with a hope that this cycle will
keep on continuing (I also used to think like this).
But Now looking at the competitiveness among the firm
and the economic condition I have to ask and pose this question to you all “what will happen if this vicious cycle
breaks or reverse itself “i.e. you are out of job or your boss asks you to
work with less salary”. Would you be able to reduce your expenditure?
I promise you it’s a difficult task and if you don’t
believe me than just read the articles when the Lehman Bros got bankrupted and
what happened to its employees.
So, take it as a suggestion or a warning whatever you
like…but think about the title in your own perspective and r u ready for it?
