Case Study Compulsory
17. Mr. Ramesh, after completing matriculation, wanted to pursue college education. To support himself, he desired to put into practice the principle of Earn while you learn. After several frustrating tips, his efforts have finally earned him a position in the manufacturing company in his native town. The job required him to work with a small group of workers and report directly to the production supervisor.
His enthusiasm to work in a company while pursuing studies has diminished after a few days. To his surprise, Ramesh found that most of the workers in the company are not duty-minded. They wasted their time in gossiping and loitering. They have invented, over the years, several ingenious ways to avoid work and spend their time un-productivity on the job without subjecting their mind and body to the rules of work place. Being new to the workplace, Ramesh, of course, could not learn the tricks of the trade and as such could not mix up with other members of his group. In many occasions, Ramesh found himself performing his duties sincerely while others moved around in a jovial manner. Ramesh, not unnaturally, could not swallow this and when he began to express his feelings of unhappiness and resentment, his co-workers retaliated thus : Mind your job. Dont be too smart. If you complain, we know how to get rid off you. Gradually, Ramesh, to his anguish, found himself enacting the role of a social outcast.
