Be wary of !!

What should companies be wary of :

A long time employee who leaves the company after years of service
Or a new joiner who leaves the company within days of joining

A long serviceman has a lot to share.......he is happy to have served the company for so long, knows the culture ,the good and bad about the company.He would have had a comfort zone with the company, made friends, and enemies, would be knowing about the business. Badmouthing his ex employer would only bring him disgrace for having served the employer for so long.

A new joiner on the other hand is like a rolling stone, gathers very lil about the company and sees only the negative aspect of the system. Every system has its flaws but as employees stay with the system for long they tend to get a comfort zone, they visualize and are in sync with the system. Word of mouth spreads far and fast so a word of caution is be wary of attrition at the entry level, where people leave within six months in the company.

Life is like a pista tree.........

         

              Life is not evergreen but we forget most of  times that every Autumn is followed by a winter, every winter by a spring, every spring by a summer ,every summer by rain.

I have a pista tree in the front yard of my premises, i have seen it often and thought how, with no watering it still survives the harsh atmosphere and flowers and fruits every year. I realized it is now a fully grown up tree, it doesn't need the constant watering and care needed to support its life cycle when it was a sapling. Once it grows to its full strength it has seen many turbulent and pleasant years.years where there is abundance of sun and water, years of drought and harsh winters. It now knows that nothing is constant, it knows every winter will be followed by a spring.
