Corporate Butchery

Its a weird world, this corporate. Everyone is eager to slaughter the other for brownie points. I just don't get it...at the end you are working for the same company. But working here, it feels that people are actually working for themselves. Then what's the point of having these team building sessions.

When I was not exposed to the "Corporate" I always wondered, how people sustain in an environment like this. Today, I see it myself and it reminds me of Darwin's theory of evolution - "Survival of the fittest" and "Struggle for existence." It also reminds me of Madhur Bhandarkar's movie Corporate, where juniors are given as bait for protection and praise.

On one hand there are lectures on 'we are a team' and on the other hand there is monopoly and back biting. There is a constant fear, in every mail you write and who you mark it to; in the company you keep; and the least expected - which colleague you spend time with, outside office.

Maybe I am too naive to digest it...coz this is my first job with the C-world. And this is just the beginning.
