Some time back there was this mail in circulation about a Janitor in Microsoft Office losing his job just because he did not have an email Id which the HR head wanted to upgrade him but ended up firing him instead. So this janitor who lost his job and with just two weeks pay in pocket passed by a vegetable wholesale market and sighting luscious red tomatoes, he bought a few dozen and did door to door selling. Lot of doors opened readily to buy his fresh ware and the mail ends with a dry humor that don't ask me, I am off to sell tomatoes.
Unfortunately I would not advise this product or mode of selling in Indian market where the rich consider purchasing in Hyper & Super Market as status symbol so chances are the tomatoes would wane and rot in the hot weather. Also there is very huge fluctuation in the rates in wholesale, in super-market and the rates the local vegetable vendor sells. As a result many poor farmers who could not even get break even price for their efforts either ended up committing suicide or threw their produce on the roads as a protest and sat in protest against the Government themselves. Even as I write this...a large contingent of farmers from Tamil Nadu are sitting at an indefinite strike to draw the attention of Center as they were left down by subsequent state governments.
In current global scenario.....it is the survival of the fittest. The market conditions are so bad that foreign nationals (from Egypt perhaps) prefer to come to India to lose a few hundred kilos of weight. Now isn't that food for thought?

Hello all,@Rajkumar Shriraoji: No law applies to in-ethical practices wherever they exist. This world is like open ocean. Big fish troubles small fish. Only rescue is awareness. This is discriminatory HR rule.

If one door closes, another door opens. There is ALWAYS another day and another tomorrow. Whatever happens may be good for you. Take a deep breath and think dispassionately. You will be able to surely identify a new, and perhaps more exciting and rewarding, opportunity.Sometimes people lose their jobs not because they are unqualified, but because they are overqualified. Many organizations do not know how to make use of the available talent.Best Regards,Prof. G.

- Normally, appointment t orders inveriably includes a clause regarding the notice period.
- In case of ad-hoc/temporary/contractual employee, notice period varies from 15 days to one calendar month. The employee can be terminated and stands relieved with immediate effect but in such a case, the employer has to pay the salary in lieu of the notice period.
- For confirmed/regularized (normally temporary employee having 5 years of continuous service is deemed to be regularized one) notice period is normally of three months.
- In case of confirmed/regularized Head of Institute (Principal/Director) the notice period is normally of 6 months.
- The above norms applicable to employer are also equally applicable on the part of employee, if s/he wants to quit the job.
- Terminating an employee showing satisfactory performance on the job is in fact a herculean task. There is a set legal process if employer wants to terminate an employee even on account of poor performance. Tribunals, Labor court , etc., protect the interests of employee.

Hello All,
Mr. Kumar K's board discussion is good.
In this article ,one thing is missing and there is no clarity in corporate and any of the service world.
Notice period is 30-90 days varied from organization to organizations.
Whenever employee wants to move out of company he needs to give a notice period of 90 days. Perception is that he is eligible for the salary of three months !!! But (If employer wants to relieve him in next five days, he will get only 5 days salary. Employer has a privilege to relieve employee in 0-30-90 day as he may felt ) vice a versa, if employee wants to move out in five days, he has to shed out 25-85 days salary from his pocket to move out.
Aren't these indiscriminate HR rules !!!

Subject: Re: [MTC Global] What you will do if you lose your job tomorrow?--Good discussion. But this situation of losing the job tomorrow is rare. In appointment letters, generally, minimum notihice period is given which ranges from 30 days to 90 days. This is enough for planning for the next job. In a seminar delivered in Guru Nanak Engineering College, Ludhina on "How to Get a Job?" I conveyed to the students that remain positive and cheerful mentally and focus on sending at least 3 applications daily to the organizations that require you. This way you will be able to sends 90 applications in a month. Whereas you need only one job.
The seminar was supported by Computer Presentation and written booklet. Students appreciated it. 4 more departments of the same college are now approaching for the same seminar.
So, in the event of losing job, believe it God i.e. God element of your elders is biggeer and better. No need to overr. worry but be positive and act. Tomorrow is always better.
Life is not a steep ascent or steep descent. It has platues. Learn to bear and be bold to face every challenge. You will win and be more happy.

Two decades back when working in Entertainment Sector in Music Industry....the CEO of the music company I was employed with ( a noted lyricist himself ) was very much confident that audio cassettes can never die....people in villages re-record on same tape a dozen times. This was the time when Television ( MTv and Vh1 ) channels were gaining popularity as music channels and the switch was from audio program's to video programs. We were all skeptical as Blue-Ray, LD's and other gizmos were already making inroads in the Indian market. However Internet proved to be a game changer. Within just a few years it not just sounded the death knoll of all music manufacturers but also resulted in closure of music shops - big and small. The suburban station in Mumbai which used to be dotted with music shacks on both sides of the road have now made way for mobile accessories..... with the death of music...many of my friends and colleagues were in a predicament as music sales was the only job they knew. But since life is a struggle...they branched off to other product sales. Luckily for me I skipped the music bandwagon even before its dooms day and had a couple of years experience in Placement which kept me in the Academic field.When the going is good....nobody sits down to plan an alternative...but when the storm of uncertainty crashes...it brings with it waves after tsunami waves of sufferings..... one of my colleague was jobless for almost a year and a half...trying out content writing....pharma selling.. odd jobs to support his family...his wife was in academics - so he was able to manage and stabilize himself but he held firmly to the belief that God would not let him suffer injustice for long.....times would change... his grit and determination and his faith were a reminder that unexpected changes in life try to destabilize us...a trial...a test....how strong you are is what decides your future.But I hope and pray that such tests do not come in lives of any.

Well said Dr. Waghodekar.In life there are no mistakes, only experiences. Gaining or losing a job is part of our journey. When one door closes, many others will open. We just need to keep knocking. Starting at age 14 an average person goes through more than 5 jobs in his / her life. Cheers.

Subject: Re: [MTC Global] What you will do if you lose your job tomorrow?It is most unfortunate if some one loses a job tomorrow without any per-intimation.
Such a job looser has to observe the the followings:
- Be positive, do not lose the courage. Do not get depressed and never think of suicide. If I have no right to take my birth, so also I have no right to take my life. You are the supporter to the life of your near ones, think of their plight and accumulate courage to face the calamity boldly along with them, they are with you only, you are not alone indeed.
- If you are really in need of a job, contact your boss/employer or some one else ASAP, request for reinstatement/a suitable job and assure that you will certainly add value to the organization, forgive any prior mistake and commit not to repeat it.
- Job loss means rise of financial problems. Have the habit of saving 10% of your salary every month.
- Invest bonus,savings, etc., in PPF, KVP, insurance, FD, real estate (at least one house) or mutual funds that can be used for emergency.
- Purchase a few grams gold pa.
- Do not spend on luxuries but only on necessary needs. Be a miser!
- In case of any sever financial issue, approach your near friends and relatives. Some one surely will come to your help.
- The World is wide and open, some one some day is going to get you accommodated.
- We do not have job loss fund provision. Please see the attachment No. 4 and others too.

Dear All,--It is common. Many times we change the job and many times we lose the job due to many reasons. One has to undergo tremendous pressure in such situation. A meaningful discussion can help many who go though such situations.........
