Abu Trip

An office trip was arranged to Mt. Abu recently in the last week of June. The agenda of the meeting was some work and some fun. It wasn’t entirely fun as well as not entirely work. The work part included setting up KRA’s for the whole year for the complete team.

The trip can be considered kind of successful where the fun part was considered. There were a huge lot of group activities and games that were arranged, but the setting up of KRA’s was actually a mess. Some person’s KRA’s weren’t discussed even once. The remaining person’s; were discussed in about half an hour. I feel like asking a question: Is it possible, feasible and correct to set up tasks and objective for the WHOLE year in half an hour? Shouldn’t some more time and thoughts be involved in the process? Even for the people whose tasks had been discussed, there is dissatisfaction. In some cases, that particular person’s views were not even asked, let alone discussed. In some other cases, the management didn’t have their own thoughts and decisions. They actually were completely depending on the person in question. How irresponsible can it get? Our bosses don’t have any clue about the work they should delegate to their team!! And then those very same bosses scream and interrogate as to why their team is sitting idle the whole time. This is INJUSTICE! If I let my thoughts loose, some very similar things and insults are gonna come up. But, then my English vocabulary will desert me for heaping up the insults.

Before beginning any kind of fun, we were promised that for each and every person of the team, their tasks and objectives will be finalized and signed. But, then I guess, promises are definitely meant to be broken. What little trust we had, has dissipated. Later on, there was a second promise given that the left over work will be completed on the next day in the office. Now, we have to see, to what extent that promise will be kept.
