With the economic crisis hitting em hard, the indian IT companies are cutting costs left, right and center. This post is inspired by such cost cutting drives across various organisations.
Lets start from TOILET PAPERS
-> No more toilet papers/Tissue papers in the handwash
REASON GIVEN BY MANAGEMENT : For every tissue/toilet paper we use, we cut down a tree. Lets save our environment. Lets save trees. Let us be eco friendly.
HANDWASH SOAP LIQUIDS
NETRU(YESTERDAY) -> There was around 4 – 5 containers in each restroom.
INDRU(TODAY) -> Single tub
NAALAI(TOMORROW) -> MEDIMIX SOAP. ETHU 100% EYARKAI ANATHU(This is 100% natural soap)
SOME WHERE DOWN THE FUTURE: Just kadalai maavu and sengal thool(Brickpowder).
RESON GIVEN BY MANAGEMENT: Don’t you guys know soap contains harmful chemicals which not only damages our ecosystem but our gentle skin.
COOLING/AIRCONDITIONS
NETRU -> 20 C maintained everywhere 24*7*366
INDRU -> Reduced cooling, A/C only during the regular working hours.
NAALAI -> A/C eduku fan podhum!!!(Why do u need A/C fan is more than enough)
SOMEWHERE DOWN THE FUTURE -> Only one fan per Development Center. Verthuchuna vanthu 5 nimisham ninutu poonga.(I you sweat go stand under the fan for 5 mins)
GOING FURTHER DOWN THE FUTURE -> Ada fan lam edhuku pa. Jennala Tharandhu vitudunga. Summa kulu kuluntu kathu varum.(Hey why would you need a fan. Open the window and let the cool breeze flow in).
REASON GIVEN BY MANAGEMENT -> A/C emit CFC which destorys the ozone layer. And btw fresh natural air is good for health yaar.
ELEVATORS
NETRU -> All elevators running in perfectly
INDRU -> The number of elevators functioning is reduced by a factor of 2
NAALAI -> No elevators. Use the stairs people.
REASON GIVEN BY MANAGEMENT -> You guys need some exercise, dont you?? Climbing stairs is a very good exercise it keeps ur body fit and helps in having a healthy heart.
GYMNASIUM
NETRU and INDRU -> Fully functional GYM
NAALAI -> GYM! What GYM??
REASON GIVEN BY MANAGEMENT -> Athan padikat eri erangi exercise panrengala ethuku mela exercise thevayapa??(You already exercise by climbing stairs right? How much more exercise will ya do??) Dont be obessesed guys.
GAMES ROOM
NETRU -> A very good facility with TT, badminton, carrom, chess etc. In case of bat or ball broken the replacement arrives quickly
INDRU-> A decent facility. The only problem is it takes around 10 – 15 days for the replacements to come and the quality of accessories
NAALAI -> Why don’t you guys bring your own acessories?
SOMEWHERE DOWN THE LINE -> DO we need a games room???
REASON GIVEN BY MANAGEMENT -> Vela nerathula enna vilayaatu. RAASCAL!!(Stupid, No play during work hours!!!)
DRINKING WATER
INDRU -> Hot n Cold bubble tops with paper cups.
NAALAI -> Filter water with one steel tumbler(cup) attached to a chain.
SOMEWHERE DOWN THE LINE -> Ada tumbler lam eduku pa, Than kaiyye thanaku udavi.(Why do you need cups, hands are the greatest gift given by god to us. Use it!!!)
BOTTOMLINE -> Bring water from your home.
REASON -> Recent study has shown that packaged water contains mercury, lead, chlorine, bacteria greater than the prescribed ppm. The company wants all the employees to be safe and healthy.
WORKSTATIONS
ENDRU -> 1MB RAM 160 GB HDD Core 2 Duo workstations for each employee.
NAALAI -> The number of workstations will be reduced by a factor of X(x:5->infinity(Dont ask stupid questions as to how you can reduce by a factor of infinity)). People will share the system on a round robin basis. WHen you get access to the system you need to have your code ready written on a piece of paper and key it in.(Anna university la intha mathiri panna nyabagam irukula??;))
REASON GIVEN BY MANAGEMENT : BETTER RESOURCE UTILIZATION
Thats all i can think of. If you have anything better do post it in as your comments.
P.S. I am not responsible if any of the admin guys see it and think of implementing it
