Travails Of A Summer Trainee...

After listening to all my batchmates and my interaction with students from other insitutes(IIMK,L,I,C, IIFT,Wellingkar,IMT,NiTIE) in these two months,this is what I can see every summer trainee faces but before you read further

Caution Notice:"All characters in this story are fictitious and any resemblance to any summer trainee/guide or any organization is purely coincidental.

"Learnings:Column 1 - Project Specific,Column 2 - Others,This was the slide which ate eight hours of his two months of summer training.OOpss sorry,training was 56 days(to be accurate),correction again and let me exclude fourteen sundays or saturdays,one day of induction program( No one can challenge the HR policy and dare to stop this ritual),two non-working days as reward to join the Project team (he was lucky enough not to get a seat and computer on the very first day),two national holidays,three non-working days as final presentation was scheduled before actual end date, a prevelliged leave(tried to be professional),two unoffical leaves(Reminds of school bunking),9 more days( Days he reached office at 11:00am),10 days(he left office at 2pm or 3pm or 4pm -ohh my gawd some more half days).When in field for 10 days (officially) he preferred to sleep in his room or raom around in city,spend at multiplex or at cousions place.At this juncture,I am left with 13 days and shall stop excluding days else it would be difficult to get a single working day and the reason for spending 8 hrs to make the learnings slide would be obvious to all. Good things always come in small packets, and so was the Title of the project, which was for sure the brainchild of a MBA graduate. His guide had made sure that title reflects that project was one of the most valuble for organization. "Change is the only constant" and same principle was followed by the scope of summer project. Deliverables which are unknown to guides until the delivery is made.

Here was the D day,the day presentation was scheduled and as its impossible to live without oxygen,impossible is for MBA graduate to do submission of any project without nightouts.Last three sleepless nights were sure to let his friends know that MBA life is quiet hectic and specially this summer training.These three days actually acted as learning experience for him and made him confident to speak during presentation.And its not all done as of now,there are hell loads of feedback forms which he had to fill ,which would get unnoticed for sure and the structure of summer training would remain same,as no one care a damn in some organizations, about the progress in the project.

He always thought that its him, but nay its not only him,its the whole MBA fraternity which is crying for same .Training which teaches you ways to spend leisure time,ways to know proxy settings to by pass firewalls of organization, and yes spamming to its best.For some of us,it was for sure an enriching experience,first salary,entry into professional life,first stay outside home town, knowledge about business of an organization,the culture, but for rest of us these were few MBA(Mere Bahut Aish) ke days.
