Max Tax 2
January 16th, 2010
When you already give 30% of your salary to the government in the form of taxes - you are already working 4 out 12 months for the government. Add to that the newly introduced taxes on perks that suck away 1.5 - 2 months salary. That takes the total to 6 months. Half of your time in office, you work for the government. The remaining half, you work for yourself and your company.
Shouldn’t that entitle us to work like government employees half of the time? Can you imagine what an IT company would be like - if it operated like a bad public sector company?
Scrap email.
Have a form for everything - “Bug log karna hai? Yeh form bhariye. Kal tak kaam ho jayega.”. There are several advantages to having a form for everything. On days you are really bored, you can make all the forms disappear and say, “Aaj form khatam ho gaye madam. Kal aayega.”.
Better still, when you are REALLY REALLY bored - first make the forms disappear. Next, make bad photocopied versions of the forms and sell them outside the office for a profit.
Pay bribes.
To get work done. After all - kickbacks would be our only “real income”, right? Here is how a manager would get the latest performance data from an employee… or even hand us our next paycheque.
Send people in circles.
Manager wants an update on some bug? Ask her to go to Raviji’s office. Raviji would redirect the manager to Amirji. Amirji would redirect to Kirtiji. Kirtiji would redirect to Poonamji… Oh wait… Poonamji is on a vacation. Try again after 2 days.
Spend the entire revenue of the company.
That’s how governments operate. Unspent budget is a bad thing - you are doing a bad job of utilizing your resources properly, if any budget is left unspent. Go buy that pool table you always wanted for your team. Or better still - hire one “chela” to say “Jee Sahabji” to everything you say.
Make silly excuses.
“Code sync hone ko time lagega sir.”
“Abhi toh code compile ho raha hai sir. Do din mein aapko results mil jaenge… Mein bata raha hoon na sir.”
“Shaam ho gayi hai sir… Itne andhere mein forms kaise bharenge?”

ha ha ha… so true
ha ha ha …wonderful excuses
Nice one dude.Good work.
Fact of the matter is - Some people in the IT industry still give such lame reasons for not working- but after reading your blog- they have a valid reason
You are correct in your analysis- It kills to pay the Tax component, especially when you don’t see it being used effectively- but bharat desh ki sarkar ki yahi reet hai.
One thing that might help- Invest more than you can pay in tax, it feels a lil less bad to let the money go out of your account coz you know, someday you will only use it.
must say dude ..really true ..i can’t agree more ..!!!
:)
the last one was really funny ..code compile hone me do din lagega ..
