My dream IT job and aftermath...


I thought the AC in the office is for me,
But I realized they are for the PCs...
I thought what they promised was salary-
But, it was just CTC.

I thought pick up and drop was for my convenience
But don’t be fooled, it is just to ensure attendance!

They said office hours are from 9 to 6...
In practice it is never less than 7 to 11

If you thought with talent you’ll shine,
You are mistaken because it is just an assembly line-
Where you just do your part,
Never knowing how to make the whole thing-
Tack together and working

No time for family...
No time for friends...
It is just about making enough money,
To avoid your credit card penalty!

Good company, life security…
All promises turned shallow,
Deadlines, targets, assessments-
I don’t even know if I have my job tomorrow

Dragging myself to office,
Shift after shift-
Overwork, underpaid…
I am the new age digital slave!!!
