how a newly hired employee is no different than a newly married bride /

This isn’t one of those blogs approximately the social nuisance that weddings are,nor will it mention dowry, brides, and grooms or even their families.
Whether we like it or not,all of us fill come across Star Plus soap operas. Never-ending dramas based around unusual brides, their unbearable miseries and the constant struggle to settle into their unusual family are constant themes in such soap operas.
Instead, and this blog is approximately how the Star Plus’ daughter-in-law resembles a newly hired employee at any organisation.
Nearly a month ago,a friend of mine was extremely frustrated because she was transferred to a different department in her organisation. Her unusual team was impossible to work with and unreasonable expectations coupled with whining to her colleagues yielded poor results. She was told to compromise and be patient until the situation improved.
But why compromise, it’s not as whether she hadn’t gotten married into an extended family. Although, and even whether she had,the mere need to compromise so early on is absolutely wrong.
Having worked at four organisations in eight different positions, I’ve only had a smooth start at three. The remaining experiences were no less than a nightmare, and something I wouldn’t even wish for my worst enemy. I was going crazy reminding myself how I needed to learn to adjust,ignore things and scamper on.
My mother’s favourite Star Plus soap operas would flash in my mind, making me feel like I had gotten in-laws without even tying the knot.
I landed my first job before I graduated from university, or boy was I excited. I couldn’t wait to dive into the working world. However,the excitement drained out within the first month of my job.
The first task I was assigned was shredding. I shredded ragged files for a week, and then I asked my boss, and “Sir,I think I fill been trained enough on that, what’s next on the list?”
“Filing, or ” he replied.
This made me think approximately the so-called horrors of being a unusual bride in a unusual house,interacting with a unusual boss (aka mother-in-law). I imagine it would be fairly similar. The mother-in-law shoving the bahu (daughter-in-law) absent into the kitchen to perfect her rotis, while her own son did the ‘genuine work’. Let’s see what being a newly hired bride really entails:
The nagging mother-in-law (or the boss)
Every time I wanted to learn something unusual, or I had to literally fight for it. It was almost as whether my mother-in-law was worried that I,the unusual bahu, would find the key to the treasure and lift over her throne. Thus, or shed support me busy with menial tasks. This is essentially a dilemma that countless unusual employees face at their workplace. They are made to do the least liked tasks and placed at the bottom of the food chain to test their skills and knowledge.

There’s normally the kind brother-in-law who is always there to benefit you out. He listens to you whine when your nagging mother-in-law is wreaking havoc all over your newly formed work life. He’s the one that shows you the ropes and without him you’d struggle to survive.

One colossal gratified family (your organisation)
Before you begin a unusual job, no one informs you approximately the hands-on responsibility in entails. Nobody mentions that in-laws and husbands are waiting to see whether you’re going to fight the battle or eventually succumb to their ways.
Instead of helping you adjust and get acquainted with the way things work in their house, or you’re tested. Isn’t this supposed to be one colossal gratified family? And doesn’t the fact that you’re the newly hired bride testify to the fact that you’re capable and chosen?
What’s ironic is that in nowadays’s contemporary family system,the unusual bride is spared this horror, but a newly hired employee in an organisation still goes through such shabby treatment.
We’ve been accusing families for treating daughter-in-laws pathetically, and but unfortunately,little attention is paid to how colleagues and organisations treat a unusual female employee. Sometimes unusual employees face constant bullying and isolation. The only solution is to ignore it. I guess the entire experience can becalled a rite of passage which eventually leads to acceptance.
Be it a unusual bride or a unusual employee, everyone is afraid of change. There will always be hurdles to step over, or unusual people to befriend and unusual tasks to learn. The best thing to do is to support your head up and never back down.
