Rajan was sitting in the office, busy completing the work given by his senior. Sitting in his office room, Rajan was working on his computer when one of his seniors, who had gone on a short break for some reason, came to him and said, "Did you know that Sir has arrived?" Rajan said, "No, has Sir arrived?" The senior said, "Yes, and it is customary here that when Sir arrives, one should go and greet him first." Do you know or not? I'm just telling you for your information.
Rajan said, "I know from experience." The senior asked, "Was it like this where you used to work?" Rajan replied that if he saw the manager while coming or going or in the office, he would greet him. Otherwise, if he was given his work, he could continue doing his work.
After that, Rajan continued doing his work, while the senior got busy with his work.
Rajan had just joined the office. He hadn't even been there a month, so he still had a lot to learn and understand. Because he was new and needed to learn and understand, he needed to be patient, listen calmly, and take the right steps so he could understand his work properly and quickly, avoiding the need to repeatedly ask questions.
Rajan, reflecting on his senior's words, began to think logically. Today was the last day of the week, and according to office rules, the head wasn't required to be in on this day, or he could come as late as he pleased. That's exactly what happened today. Initially, news came that the head wouldn't be coming, but later he arrived. The room where Rajan worked was separate from the head's, and from there, it was impossible to see who was coming and going. So, how could he know if the head had arrived or not?
After all, Rajan was diligently doing the work assigned to him. Is the work more important, or is it the needless obedience of a boss or senior? Such problems exist in any office. Complete relief from these problems can only be achieved if one is master of his own work or is wealthy enough to avoid the need for a job.
After much thought, Rajan concluded that his karma is his God, his master. He has come here to work and to learn something. He must ignore many things, behave well with everyone, and become so adept at his work that, whether this job remains or not, he has every chance of finding work elsewhere and can confidently declare, "I know this."
And in future interviews, he can also speak about his work and skills without hesitation. In these times of unemployment, decisions about employment must be made very carefully.
In any case, there's no guarantee of a job these days. Therefore, it's better to become an expert at your job rather than focusing on other things.
As for accepting the absurd demands of a boss or senior, that's okay to a certain extent. If these things become too extreme, it's best to leave your job peacefully after a while, because along with earning money, it's also important to live a proper life. Until you have to leave your job for these reasons, it's more important to understand your work well and become an expert at it.
