Indian Employees: A Divergence

By -
It was the year 2006, when I started working. Just like any other energetic, optimistic Indian lad of 21, I too was quite eager to become a self-dependent guy. Generally, Indian parents do not want their child to start working for a private limited company in such (a small) age, but still I requested them to allow me to go and find a place to work. I had completed my graduation in the month of July 2005. But, it took me about seven-eight months to convince them to let me join an organization.
After their nod, I moved in with my elder brother in Lucknow, the state capital of UP. After a few efforts, I was selected as a Back Office Customer Support Executive with Hutch International, a telecom giant of that decade. It was when I started observing people around me.
Presently, I am a corporate content writer with an IT company in New Delhi. Throughout my journey, I have convened with myriad of people at different workplaces. Some of them were appreciable, while there were many others, who tried to put me down, and became the reason of my leaving the company. There were also a number of people, who inspired me a lot and made me learn plentiful tactics of business and life.
Types of We, the people, the Indians at Workplace
Sycophants - Every company or organization, all over the world, has such people. These flatterers are glib liars and appeasers, who willingly try to please their seniors and bosses, and even the owners of the company. Such sinister, even if they are senior in age and experience, act as if they are the slaves of the company. If I degrade the level of the article, please pardon me for that, they cook up things like real bitches. They suggest new rules and leave policies, they work dedicatedly even in the odd hours (only to show their loyalty), and they spread rumors and backbite their colleagues before the boss or the owners of the company. They do so just to earn the goodwill of the employer and to secure their job. Typically, they want to dominate the rest of the employees with their fake connotation and impression on the employer.
Loners - This genre of the workers is not very much interested in trivia. They are busy with the work assigned to them, and are one of the loyal members of the staff. They are always on time, whether coming or leaving the office. Even if they have a new idea, which could increase the business capital of the company, they will not dare to utter, because they are not being paid for that. Most of the Indian employees belong to this variety of workers. They are great thinkers, and full of idea. But, they do not try to give new ideas to the company because of their insufficient salary. Loners like to keep quiet and stay calm.
Friends - Generally, people working on same work profile or sitting next to become close friends, and most of the times, BFFs, best friends forever. They care for each other, and keep in touch, even after leaving the company. Moreover, they sometimes, become so close that they plan to leave the company, and work for another better organization 'together'.
Hardcore Professionals - Hardcore professionals never break any 'rules and regulations' of the company, they work in. They do not get involved in the office politics, and are generally focused towards their work.
Opportunists - These are the employees, who work just to earn the money, not the knowledge. While working, most of the times, you are adding some set of skills in your bio-data. An opportunist employee believes in learning and moving forward. Their lifespan, at the company, is by and large very small. They are not interested in working with the same organization for longer duration of time. Once they get a better opportunity, they move forward.
Sycophants are craps, they need to be discovered and expelled from the company, in order to maintain a healthy ecosystem inside. On the other hand, loners, friends and professionals are the perfect ingredient of a profit making business. I learnt bagfuls of things from many of my co-workers in different companies, and will keep on doing the same, in coming future.
