Based upon my experience of recession, I have concluded so many things. But the thing which appealed me lot is “do not love your company”. I tell you why with some real life examples.
My last company which was started with only 10 people a decade ago grows up like anything. Company become number one is India and expended a lot. When I joined this company it had around 2000 employees around the world.
Some people work hard with company and still with it for last 6 years or so. These all old guys enjoy telling about the growth of the company. They love the company like anything. They think that company will help them in the worst part of their life also in future. But this is not the truth. As company grows, ambitions of employers increased and he does not think about anybody if company does not run according to his wishes.
Now I tell you the story of some poor old guys of same company. Some people join this company 8 years ago. That time, IT boom was started. Higher management decided to switch to new computerized services to improve the efficiency of the company. But these all guys were not very good computer players as they were only diploma holders. They were good in manual works like working in assembly lines. But when they were switched to new services where they had to use computers their efficiency went down drastically.
They were confident that company would not ask them to leave as they were among the old employee of company and had proven themselves earlier. They had a faith in company. They were in love with company. But this was not truth; company gave then 3 months’ salary in advance and asked them to leave the company.
My experience is that if they had not fallen in love this company it would have been very easy to change the job for them. But these people had faith in company so they were betrayed by the company.
Company does not know where are these people who helped company to stand up now.
Moral is “DO NOT LOVE YOUR COMPANY BUT WORK SINCERELY” you never know when company will ask you to leave irrespective of your contribution to the company.

One Requirement fulfillment - Career Rule
Hello All,
Based upon my experience I am sharing a thought which I call “one requirement fulfillment”.
When I was working in my last company at Rajasthan, I was happy because one of my prime requirements of getting a good job was fulfilled. I took a flat on rent and started enjoying my company work. I was awarded and promoted to next levels and everything was OK. After some time I got married and my daily expenses increased. So here I got a new “one requirement” to increase my in hand income. And I decided to change the job to get high increment because this “one requirement” was prime requirement for me now. Although, my other requirements were being fulfilled by the company which were equally important for me, but this “one requirement” in now a prime requirement which need to be fulfilled if you need a good professional success. My present company was not to ready to fulfill my “One requirement” now, so I left.
“One requirement” is vary with individual to individual and situation to situation.
One day my house owner requested me to refer his son‘s resume in my company for a job. It was his son‘s “One requirement”. This boy to whom I referred to company was working in Bangalore, but now he wanted to come to his hometown so he was ready to join my company. He got a job in my company hence his “One requirement” fulfilled. But after some time perhaps one year later he came to meet me. He told me that he wanted to leave the company because according to him Rajasthan life style did not match to his previous life style at Bangalore. So his “One requirement” developed and changed his previous mind set to come to home town. His present company was not able to fulfill my “One requirement” now, so he left.
My idea to share this story to tell you that in any industry whether you are satisfy or not it will fulfill your prime requirement only. Other requirements will be fulfilled partially. Hence from here we get another “one requirement” to be fulfilled which forces us to change the Job.
So take a step as soon as possible to fulfill your “one requirement” and give a room to another “one requirement” to develop. This is how we grow in professional life.
