Attitude not aptitude will define your altitude
by Charles Srinarayan on May 03, 2008 09:19 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

I belief some of the cases below are exaggerated out of proportion, or that the modern generations' attitude towards work leaves a lot to be desired. Has anyone checked out what Hotel Management graduates go through before they become a manager. They have to spend time in the kitchen, perform waiters's . housekeeper's role etc etc. The idea is that they get to learn the dynamics / intricacies of each dept of the hotel. Unless they know this, they can never become good managers or know the problems/ challenges faced by each dept of the hotel. In the same way, those starting off as management trainees in banks or any other services should have experiences in every dept, be it ATM, sales etc., else they will never learn the challenges of each of the facets of the job to become good managers. If they do not go through the grind, they will become damagers rather than managers. So my advise to young folks, is to live up to it and learn rather than go crying to your parents who will always emphatise and sympathize with you.

All activities of Hotel managenent or Manager have stipulated time and business hours. They yeildmoney disproportionately to their skills is another fun to be display pleasure of you toil and moil. Every profession has same stories but that doesnot justify exploitation by some crooks in the name of employment its lawlessness and ILO conventions. All over the world employment beyond 8 hours and 40 hour week is subject to overtime that is also allowed for specific period of 60 to 57 hours a month but Indians practice miheval age practice of salvery and servility is pitty and cannot be justified. Even in africa employees are not forced to work beyond 8 hours and business is closed at 5.30 in offices. Shopes 4 hours morning and 4 hour evening rest goes to overtime. But we exploit employees morethan 16 hours and pay them salary for 8 hours or on monthly fix term. Don't try to justify you are educated people must sho respect to himan being we are not animals like bulluck or horse.
