Are we Independent?

First of all advance Independence day wishes to all. People are seen in high national spirit this month.
But the question which I want to ask is,"Are we really Independent? Is Dictatorship a thing of the past? Are we allowed to use all our fundamental rights? Are the days when we were exploited by Foreigners over? "

The World is a very gruesome place to live in. People have started believing that either we kill or they kill us. Our Country may have been released from the clutches of Foreigners but our minds are still in the grasp of pathetic and disgusting thoughts of treating others with disgrace and showing Oneself as superior.

Recently I have been part of this organization which is in the business of Human Capital. My thoughts when I joined were, the policies would be ethical and just. As this is what HR is all about, People and their rights. But not only it disgraced the facts but also made it on top of my list of The Worst place to work at.

Now you might think that this is only my individual opinion and I am saying all this just because I have some personal grudge against it. But the reality is it treats most of its employees as slaves, well most companies think like that so what's new you ask?

But if you are a businessman and you are trusting someone with the task of sourcing your Human capital then you should check first that what kind of people you are dealing with. Can you trust someone who has no ethics, no policies, no sense of responsibility at all.

They change their policies to suit their needs. They terminate an employee due to some personal grudge of Boss's pet and change their policy so they can torment the already tormented employee. Gulp their salaries and make up for the business losses which they faced due to their own inability to fulfil the tasks at hand.

What is expected from a CEO is that he remains unbiased and listen to an employee's grieves, why the CEO you ask cause normally it is the task of the HR personnel to do that. The company has no HR personnel of its own and they have the guts to offer help to HR personnel of big MNC's. Funny it appeared to me, don't know about you.

The CEO like a dictator rules over the company and treat everybody as his slaves. It is said that you have to earn Respect, but here respect is demanded forcibly and on not giving the same you are sacked.

You still think that you can trust these people with a task be it any, it's time to wake up. These type of practices should be boycotted. Employees should be treated like humans and not like machines. The time has come to show Companies and CEO's like these that their days of dictatorship are coming to an end.

Would like to quote a dialogue from a recent flick here, "Never Under Estimate The Power of A Common Man... "

So ask yourself this question now are we really free or independent? Do we have the genuine reason to celebrate the Independence Day? Are we just fooling ourselves by trusting some blindly?

Do we really know Who should be trusted? The answer lies with You. Are You ready to be the Change. I know I am.
