Microsoft’s new employee bus!!!

Microsoft is a veteran software company, best known for its Microsoft Windows operating system and the Microsoft Office suite of productivity software. Microsoft operates in 139 countries with a  manpower of 135,000 employees (2010). Hence Microsoft did not want to waste their manpower in cheap traffics. Hence it has come up with an excellent idea to save both time and manpower. Microsoft recently started bus service for employees. Employees can start work from the bus itself and their office hour’s counts from the time they start work in the bus. Traffic jam in cities is quite normal and company do not want to waste the time of the employees in roads. This is an initiative by Microsoft. The employees are satisfied with this work from bus program. Take a look at the bus!!!!

The bus looks cool and luxurious however the bus inside looks like a typical workplace.

Take a look at the infrastructure of the bus!!!

Partiality trend in IJP’s – TCS BPO

Are you close to the Management? If the answer is no, then you have very less chances of growth in the industry. Though you are efficient and process oriented, the additional qualification for any promotion is, you should have good terms with your superior officer. Recently there was a IJP(Internal Job Posting) announced for Team Leader and Escalation Desk. The IJP was conducted by the existing TLs and the Operations manager. The basic criteria to apply for TL  post is the candidate should be a Band 2, should have experience for at least 3 years, also based upon the ratings that were given in the past. However apart from these, you should also have a friendly relationship with your Superiors.

One of my colleagues who had applied for the IJPs conducted was rejected just because he did not have good terms with the person who took care of the internal job posting.  So there is  a partial trend followed by the management on promotions.
