when dependencies are ditched

I was discussing about my dependencies, over an employee, with a friend three weeks ago. I told her how much trouble I might face if this employee ever resigns. he knows about all the projects we have done so far. he knows about all other employees and clients too. and guess what..................?

Yes! he resigned the very next week. Actually, he tried to ran away. Leaving behind relationship of two years, he gave me ONE DAY NOTICE before he joins his new company.

I really wanted to retain him so I offered him salary what he was being offered from the other company. He didn't stay! He is keen on joining a MNC which guarantees him job for next 10 yrs or so. I could only guarantee a better personal relationship and same salary..not the multi-storey building, neither confrences at 5 star hotels, and certainly not an ambience of 300 staff!

Tough to sleep, eat or concentrate unless he finally left. Unless I knew, now, there is no way he will stay. He wasn't the best programmer or designer, neither the best man. He was my first employee! a friend at office. a colleague.

tough......tough.........tough.....but the show must go on :) and it will!

if eyes could touch ...

Ever wondered, what, if eyes could touch? My instant thoughts:

I can feel my girl in public :)
More men will be raped/ murdered/ cascaded than women every year
We will stop being bossy or insulting our juniors
Parents would stop asking questions – rather punish!
Sales guy would stop telling unreasonable prices
Cops wont harass unnecessarily
School principals would stop asking donation
Employees wont ask for salary hike :) and boss wont utter a word about cost cutting
Politicians wont beg votes or make fake promises
List is endless....
