have lots of money. I don’t need to
actually do a job. I just work still to get myself occupied with something with
what I know already. I have very good contacts in Holtezent. If you are looking
for career progression or salary hike, it’s pretty easy for me to arrange.
Think of the possibilities,” said Mona.
“I’m looking
for a shift to SAP line of work within Holtezent,” said Ashutosh.
“I know the
Vice President of SAP department in Holtezent. He is actually my family friend.
I could help you with that. And Vinay what are you looking for?” said Mona.
“I’m not
looking for anything specific right now. I’m just content with what I got,”
said Vinay.
“What about
onsite? Or salary hike? Or higher position? Oh come on. You have got just one
year experience. You may not even know what you want. You and Himesh are my
dark horses. With both of you, we could realize our project targets and impress
our client. Just think of what I can get you, a double promotion. You can
become a lead Architect or Technical Team Lead. Think about it. Work harder, prove
yourself and the possibilities for you are endless in Holtezent,” said Mona.
Mona served
dinner. They chatted for few more minutes. Vinay and Ashutosh thanked Mona for
the dinner and then went to a nearby bus stop to wait for their buses to come.
“Why you came
along Ashutosh?” asked Vinay.
“Hmm, to study
how high-class people live. What do you think? No. I just came to see if I
could find any ladder for my SAP aspirations,” said Ashutosh.
“You are
looking for a Godfather through Mona. You are being very proactive man,” said
Vinay.
“Proactive and
reactive are the much overused and abused words in IT. No I’m a reactive guy in
general except this case,” laughed Ashutosh.
Chapter 19
In the
cafeteria, three people came to Vinay and Himesh. They introduced themselves as
Suresh, Ramesh and Usha. They had earlier worked under Mona and were released
from the project. Usha had now become a team lead for another project. Suresh
and Ramesh now worked under Usha. Suresh told him that ABTM module was full of
issues.
“Don’t work in
that module. Why you took that man. It’s full of issues. That Mona is very
horrible. She is a tyrant. I cannot handle the workload. So she said I cannot
perform and released me from the project,” said Suresh.
Ramesh along
with Suresh then explained the amateurish patchwork of a solution created by
Mona.
“If you don’t
agree with her solution and don’t implement it, she will release you from the
project. You fix one bug, and then another bug will pop up from any of the other
entities,” said Ramesh.
Usha told how
she was ill-treated and abused by Mona. Then she explained how she purposely
made her work on Saturdays even if she had completed her work much earlier for
that week.
Usha got
emotional. She burst into tears and cried. She recalled how many nights she
cried before going to sleep.
She said, “Please
do us a favor. Leave the project. We want to punish Mona. We want her to suffer
the pain she made us to suffer. She denied my leave requests and escalated each
and every small matter. She treated us like her slaves. Now her leaves should
be denied, her transfer to Delhi should be denied. Now she should be made to
work on all Saturdays and Sundays.
Both Suresh
and Ramesh nodded their heads in agreement. Suresh, Ramesh and Usha advised Vinay
and Himesh to leave the project.
“Don’t kill
yourself for this. Put your hard work into something else. Don’t get exploited.
They will use you. They will make you as a scapegoat,” said Usha.
They told
horrible stories of what Mona did to them.
One day, Vinay,
Himesh and Ashutosh were discussing about the limitations of existing design.
Everywhere Vinay
saw only amateurish patchwork. He found so many bugs and tears in the fabric of
the code weaved by Mona. He stitched one tear only to find another tear open nearby.
He had never seen such a patchwork
