Free from hectic schedules !!!!!!!

I have started to scribble because I am having a plenty of time and I thought I can do something useful . But then I have started to like blogging as I am getting a feel that I can improve a lot through this. So, I am sure I ll continue blogging . I must thank my hubby for getting me involved in this .
As my title says, I am away from routines now. I had always dreamt for a life free of routines and schedules. I had been working for a software concern in Chennai for about two years and life had been really busy . Twelve hour job per day is very normal in many companies in Chennai. There is noone to award smart work done for 8 hours. Slogging for 12 hours or more is the regular pattern liked and encouraged by most of the project managers. When a person does'nt slog for more than 8 hours, its like he or she is not following the company rules and it makes one feel guilty to start early in the evenings. There is also a concept of appraisals and ratings based on the individuals work for every 6 month period. As per the regular pattern, the person slogging late nights gets the best of all. Also, they have a minimum rating to be given to atleast 5 percent of the members in a project. The victims for the minimum will be those who are going to take a long leave due to personal reasons or women going to take a maternity leave or guys posted onsite and going to come under onsite pay rolls. Oh my God! Whats the logic behind ..... I have seen so many pregnant ladies slogging long to meet deadlines. But then their ratings are always the minimum. Who is to motivate them??? This really makes me feel bad .
I feel this is not humanitarian. Who is going to bring this to light an when are these going to change??
To be contd.....
