This is the time; yeah this is the time to change where you are till now. There is no meaning in leaving in a fear everyday that when that pink morning can come. Most of you may not agree to this but don’t you think when tide is against you it’s better to change your way than keep fighting with this till you are blown away.
What I mean by change here has different meanings. First it means, change your job, it may not apply to some of the people and most of the people will not get positive results if they try. But if you get it somewhere, be sure that you are one of the safest guy in the organisation. Do I sound crazy, I might me to some but let’s talk about it why I am saying so.
Lets discuss first, Why people are thrown out, there could be multiple reasons; first, they hired you to increase their bench strength in the anticipation that they will get projects in process. But what happened, most of the projects either delayed or postponed indefinitely, then there is no meaning in keeping you on bench and paying when they are not clear when they will have work for you. Next, you may be hired for some ongoing projects and project is shelved or stopped in between and no hope of getting new projects, you are out. Third, you are working on a project but your productivity is really low and you may not be capable to increase it in near future, you are again under the scanner. Fourth, formula of 10 less utilized guys than 5 more than possible utilized guys, didn’t you hear companies are asking for around 50 hours per week. I have no clue what Indian labour laws talks about this.
You all will agree that most of the companies have stopped hiring, right? Ok , apart from this they are also giving pink slips to less performing , guys on bench and people who is not business critical. Now in this scenario, if someone hires you, why will he? There could be only one reason, and this is not because you are too good in your work. But it could be because you are critical to their business which falls in their budget. Someone might be too good in his or her work but he may not get through, only reason is priority of budget has gone up, of course budgets have gone down.
Now some are also scared that, this is the not the right time to change because if you join any new company now, you will be the first one thrown out. My dear friend, you are completely wrong, why did they hire in such dire circumstances, just to throw out. Huh, give me a break, they have hired you because there you are critical and their plans are not on track and they need someone who can bring it on and not to increase their bench strength to get the projects. Time is gone, for a time being at least, when companies used to have huge bench strength in the anticipation of projects. Now very few can afford this.
Of course, if you don’t perform as per their expectation then you may be one of them who can be thrown out, but in any case just forget it that you will be the first one.
