IT professionals of Nepal

Aha!!
"over-hyped" IT professionals of Nepal

Everyday I see many of my colleagues and friends in any software company talking in a similar tone and language -> "IT/Software $ucks". They all have same problems --> "What nonsense and useless job is this", "Why don't they send me Onsite", "I have no social life", "My Boss is sick", etc etc... get the drift? Frustration it is.

I see that by every hour of the passing day, the number of people belonging to the "frustrated group" is increasing in every BIG or SMALL company which follows the funda of Outsourcing Process. You'll always find a group of 4-5 folks in the smoking zone or having tea and "cribbing" over these same things over n over again. Finally, they come back to the desk, slog for 12 hrs a day and the same routine is followed the next day as well!!

I keep myself engaged in many extra activities apart from my project work, like conducting games, quizzes in office; moderating this page; etc etc. And I do keep a balance between all the things and feel happy n satisfied at the end of the day. Agreed that many of us don't get into good projects or as per our liking but where does this frustration lead us to? How many of us have ever tried to change things around? Some of the companies have grown so BIG that it is very demanding for them to satisfy the demands of all the employees. So instead of blaming the company, you should take the action so get your life back on track and feel content at the end of the day. Nobody will come and look that you are happy in your job!

Each one might be having a different scenario/work environment and all this also adds to this frustration. I sometimes worry about the impact of so many "unsatisfied professionals" working together for a company. What do you all say?
