The Corporate Robin Hood


Within the first week as an 'employee' i had realized that its not gonna be easy for me. Maybe it was my personal attitude that needed a reality check or my zero tolerance for injustice in any form. Not that i had problems with my bosses, i simply refused to be labeled as a 'resource'.

Somehow i have never been able to relate the term 'resource' to an alive and happy human being which is that one simple thing i always fought for, literally. I never felt a hero saving my team members from the wrath of the decision maker, because i think no one should work with the fear of losing his job.

There is no debate as to which approach is correct, might not be mine, but i am content with the fact that i protected and stood by people around me. I am sure when you have a business to run in this competitive world, the value of growth and success overshadows that of sentiments. 

The relieving smile on a colleague's face after skipping a dreaded review meeting has always been priceless for me, and that's the reason this name (The Corporate Robin Hood)  was given to me during one of the many farewells i have had. 

Every time i begin new, it amazes me the way my loved ones explain things about not getting to attached with the new colleagues. It's kinda cute the way they try to keep me away from being a rebel, when they know whats gonna happen at the end. 

When people ask me about what am i gonna do next, i always smile and say "Something better"
