Every day, as I travel from Velachery to Indira Nagar in MRTS, when the train whiz past the Taramani - SRP Tools - Thiruvanmiyur stretch in the MRTS, I see uncountable vehicles piled up on either side waiting to reach their respective destination. In rainy days, the piling is more and in the absence of traffic signals, the chaos is more.
Useless ministers garlanding some statue in Marina / Teynampet, makes thousands get stuck in hot sun or pouring rain. If Dr.Kalaignar has to go to newly opened Anna Library, then traffic is snarled around 5 Km stretch in every direction. In JJ's regime, this was no different. If parties talk about bringing Kamaraj rule, let them follow this first.
With so much advancement in IT where PC cost and broadband cost have shrunk, why our bloody IT companies are still expecting employees to be physically available in the office between 9 & 6? Some companies even work for 8 hours and 30 minutes and claim that they are ensuring to meet clients' requirements. Buffalo-shit: this is just to bill more and get more revenue. The managers and employee will work the same way.
If an employee effectively works for 5-6 hours a day, it is enough. It is the responsibility of the corporates to discipline the employees instead of extending working hours. Some 'military' style IT companies still insist on strict rules such as salary cut if an employee walks in half an hour late (just on single day) refusing to consider the traffic on that day or city's infrastructure. They never bother to check what time one leaves the office.
I wonder why many IT companies (especially those located in OMR stretch) not offering work from home as an option. Let them define new rules and track and penalize employee accordingly. Let the employee be asked to physically be available in office for some important meeting or calls on certain days of a week. By this way, they directly contribute to the environment and improve health of the employee as well.
