In the year 2008, most graduates and college students were searching desparately for jobs... The recession made sure that they had to put in more efforts than their seniors or superseniors who managed to get offers even before they had graduated.. Considering this situation, i was very fortunate to get a job even before i had completed my Masters in Engineering. I dont want to go into the details of how i got the job, how much i was offered and all that details, so lets go straight to day 1 of my job.
My boss, a Senior Manager then in the company was a No Nonsense guy... He used to be very blunt in his criticism when someone makes a mistake and one had to be doubly cautious to avoid landing in trouble... But that was just one side of the coin. He was very supportive and was always there to defend his team. He changed our perception of "Customer Is King" and always mentioned that we neednt be on the defensive if mistake isnt on our side.. Different people have different ways of driving a point home. My boss used to say things in a way with very less criticism yet driving the point home....
Though i am in a different organization now and am in a totally different line of work, i would always be greatful to my boss for all the confidence he had given me and for his constructive criticism. He has laid the foundation for my career and whatever i achieve from now on will be definitely due to the confidence he provided and the trust which he had on me...
