FIRST WEEK

Monday...

Nothing much happened!I had been to the office to collect my offer letter and for that i had to carry my last three salary slips.SO thats exactly what i did..Got print outs of my salary slips and went to fetch my Offer letter.I had to meet the HR manager ...SO another round of intro and stuff..den she briefed me abt the process and asked my view on the process.Den came the most important part - Negotiation of salary..I had expected for an higher amount as take home..she was pitchin in with da lower package..a lil bit showing off my talents took place ..certificates n all..and we settled for a take home salary which was closer to my expectation and best part is the INCENTIVES!!..with an above average performance i can take home as much as my basic salary.So that was a perfect Win-Win and Home run situation for me.

Tuesday...

Was a real hectic day.Had to fill in the Joining report Booklet which contained almost 23 forms to be filled..was a tiresome activity.After lunch we had the Induction session and then in the evening we had to click out our pics in the Admin office for ID card purposes and what was supposed to be ard 30 mins activity turned out to be a tiresome 2 hrs courtesy our HR team!!We couldn't click our snaps cos we didnt have our employee ID!!So had to wait for the Employee ID's to be issued..reached home damn late..but luckily nxt day i had an evening shift..So had plenty of time to relax.

Wednesday...

We were merged into an old batch.Did pretty much nothing.Juz mingled and gossiped around doing lukhagiri and stuff.Luckily , the same day a new XBox 360 was installed in the Cafeteria..SO had fun playing Soccer and Car race

Thursday...

Started our Voice and Accent training..aka V&A training.As most of us were tenured executives..we didnt really do it in depth using PPT's n all..Juz discussed it amongst ourself.

Friday

Was the last working day of the week and we all were exhausted cos of the various activitis we were busy doing..so we were in no mood to download any more stuffs..so juz ran thru some topics quickly..Played games like..Dumbcharades , Pictionary , waz urs like , Coffee Pot and Hot seat!!And juz when the trainer tried to get us back to training we came up with the idea that the freshers wont be able to understand a hardcore American customer and to help de we sld probably listen to calls(knowing that the software which recorded calls was facing an outage)[:P]
As we were not able to listen to calls..we suggested that we cld probably make the freshers watch some English movies and thats when one of the bugger in r class suggested some horror flicks like Exorcist n all..and that kindda spoiled the entire set-up that we had put up to trap the trainer and watch some new flick..She put her foot down and said..NO MOVIEZ WHATSOEVER!!That's when i decided to intervene and handle the situation as i was in no mood to learn consonant sounds and vowel sounds.So i switched on my moble ohone and gave her a call and did not speak clearly..She on her part thought there was some network problem ..So she stepped out to get better signal and trust me the moment she left all da trainees got off their seat to bash up the bugger(Of course..in a friendly manner)I disconnected the callafter keeping her busy for ard 5 mins.Once she stepped in..we didnt give her even a moment to think and all said in unision..'So what do you think ..We should watch FRIENDS or FRASIER?'She was still wondering who had called her and suddenly she was confronted by this question..All dat she cld utter was..'U guys decide'.Saying this she again stepped out to give a callback..but i had switched off my mobile phone.S job well done ..but only for now..Cos on Monday i would have to do GEO-CODING with her..in layman's terms updating my personal information on the company's website!I juz keep praying..May she forget this number over the weekend!!In the meantime we watched FRIENDS SEASON 5 (6 episodes) and left for home.
