The IT worker

Disclaimer: The following post is based on real life experiences of male IT developers. It is aimed at all the managers and female coworkers who often show disrespect to their feelings. Any coincidence with any of the Program Managers of female developers is not at all regretted. You are also expected to forward this post to as many program managers and female coworkers as you can.

Just in case, you have wanted to know how the IT worker works, here is an insight:

7:00 am: Gets up rather grudgingly

7:30 am:Dresses up , sprays deo all over to impress females inspite of knowing that there are none too worthy of the expense so incurred

7:45 am Gets onto the bus or cab depending upon how miser the company is. Tries to get in some conversation with some girls especially some HR girls, realizes that there is no chance as most of them are committed or married. Ends up sleeping the rest of the time

8:30 am: The villainous building comes in sight. Oh yet another mountain. Yet another day to tackle. Swipes his card and enters

9:00 am: After the toilet breaks, coffee breaks he finally opens his system. Greets his fellow workers rather disinterestedly , managers er no comments

9:30 am: Starts checking his outlook mails. Spends greater time forwarding the good morning messages rather than the official ones

10:00 am: The first interaction with the managers, monsters inc. Time to make big promises and convey er not so big deeds. Get some worthless advice from the program manager who starts outsourcing his work to developers.

10:30 am: First chance on your female co workers. Invite them for coffee. Invitation politely declined due to some PERSONAL REASONS. Gather some male colleagues preferably your manager to fund your coffee

11:00 am: Finally the work commences. Ah 10 minutes of outlook checking first.Then stare blankly at the piece of code in front of you which stares back in an annoying manner. You start execution and out pops a black screen full of errors. Stare at them for 30 minutes and then outsource the work to your TL.

1:30 pm: Lunch time folks. Second chance on your female co workers. Invitation politely declined as they need to go with their friends. Depressed, you go to cafeteria alone or sit in front of your system eating and dreaming. If you are a composed person, male friends still available

3:00 pm: Time to dream. Well, status update time in front of the managers. Try to make a mountain of a small issue. The more complexity described, the better. Show him great dreams great things.

5:30 pm: Time to get ready to leave inspite of being fully aware that someone would stop you. If you are lucky, you may miss the eyes of ppl or convince them, If you are unlucky, well then the temperature starts rising

7:00 pm: Last chance on your female colleagues: INVITATION ACCEPTED!!! You realize your importance there, that of a coffee financer. But wait, what’s this? You are joined by your male colleagues and other ready made guests. WELCOME TO THE PARTY

:(

8:30 pm: Time for managers to get their personal calls and prepare departure. Time to flee to the loo, to avoid outsourcing

9:00 pm: Managers DEPART!!!!Good riddance!!! Start packing hurriedly. Call the cabbie frantically hoping he would stop and wait

9:10 pm: Flee to the cab. End of another eventful day!!
