Just another day @ Asian paints
[info]deepakchowdhary
Last few days I was getting a feeling that I am not adding any value to my learning at the job. Predominantly there was a feeling that there isnt much work for me. Somebody up there definitely heard that and today I felt that the whole world around me is crumbling down. Where to start from...hmmm..
Morning: 8 am....alarm rang and I was awake but then thought that I can take a nap for 5 minutes.(I dont know what I would have achieved in 5 minutes)
10:20 am..: I woke up when my phone was ringing like crazy...shit its late. I knew that I had complete freedom of time but still it would not set the right example for juniors at office.
12 noon...got the first jolt when one of my dealers called up and said that rates in market is not stable and I should do something about it. (Man what do I do...its you people only who are cutting rates)
1 pm....godown guy comes in and says that boss there is acute shortage of stocks and my intervention is required.So I hurriedly called up RDC to reload our stocks..:D
2 pm....i got a call from a customer who threatened to take Asian Paints to consumer court as the product applied on the walls is not matching his expectations. I calmed him down and asked my sales rep to follow it up.
Then received a call from somebody who gave the reference of GM and wanted service for his resort.
3:30pm...a truck came with stocks which was completely damaged in transit. I estimated the damage and got it in my godown.
4:00 pm...office people reminded me that I had to take lunch and because of me they have also not had it till now.
had it fast and got 12 calls in between...(this has been a regular feature whenever we sit for lunch every one starts remembering me...my boss, my boss's boss, my dealers, my vendors, customers, juniors, some complaint, collegues, godown people..
5:00 pm...i got a call from Delhi that we are doing good but my monthly target figures have been revised...and yes there is only one way the revision happens...Up....
6:00pm sat with the team and tried convincing them that this is logical...
7:00pm As soon as I was about to leave office a dealer came in and killed some time....
finally I rushed back home coz i was too tired listening to phone calls and data planning...monthend is approaching and there is lot to do....
angry dealers
unsatisfied bosses
irrate juniors
jealous peers
unscrupulous elements...
unethical competitors...
just another day in my life...!
