Part #4

Okay here he go again. He’s finally inducted. He’s a part of the firm. He is officially an employee now. Does that sound cool or does that make a difference to him? Well read on …

There was kind of presentations and seminars for the first three days of his induction program. The first day was like “WOW I am in the company now” for him. The first person showed up welcoming him and the others to the company. The firm is that, the firm is this. All big talk. The truth is no one has ever heard of the company before. May be everyone else in the world is ignorant and dumb.

The firm is growing, ‘ya he knows that’, said the speaker, it’s gowing at a pace that it will overtake the bigger names in the field , ‘give me a break’.

“Any questions?” asked the speaker from the human resources department.

One guy among them was bold enough to ask the question that was troubling everyone for the past three months. Everyone has the question in their minds. Losing sleep over it. It was the topic in almost all discussions in the circle.
He asked “ what about our compensation? “.

The sweet talk, the hi-fi all ended at that moment. The real face of the HR showed up.

“Did you get the offer?” asked the speaker.
“Negative” said the poor colleague.
“Then why should you be worried about the compensation when you aint even know the real figure?” exclaimed the speaker.
“It’s was a rumor spreading” explained his friend.
“If there exists something like that, like the difference in the compensation, like you said, there might be logic behind it. The corporate world doesn’t do anything without logic” said the HR side.
Logic? Sure does it has. What? That’s what the whole story is going to find out !



The day went by without much things to talk about, expect for the pages of documents that needed to be signed. He tried reading the documents, ohh no it’s real real long with all the bullshit language. It’s like an encrypted document. One might need a dictionary to decode it.

“Why the hell can’t they use some language humans can understand. There are hidden meanings to the words spoken in the documents” he thought.

The second day went almost unnoticed. There was just people coming in one after the other. Talks and talks endlessly for hours. He didn’t pay attention to most of them.

The third day was almost similar to the first one expect for some group activities. Or was it in the second day. He quite lost track of time. After all too much bullshit will cause the degradation of any brilliant’s mind.

Now that the fourth day has come. He sees his and the others names spread all over the place. “Welcome” it all said.

To find the real meaning behind the word “welcome” he has to survive a little longer. Lets wait for the day !.........................................................................................................
