“I am really getting bored of the current status around and wanna get out and breathe oxygen...“
“It’s been too long that we’ve been holding this shit load and really need this grounded ....”
“Could anyone tell me how to dodge this pig-headed out of my site ?..... I fink I should find better place to sprout....”
I just entered quietly listening to such confessions in here and decided not to reveal what am I gonna topic this night. Everyone summarised their routine very impatiently with good level of comprehension in their discussions. We were in groups and suddenly I reckoned of an abbreviation which is quiet famous in one part of the world.
Let’s break this ice and form foamy surface where we all can chill-out...
It’s gonna be harvesting ourselves with better soil and natural batter.
Few questions to you before I start.... and the rest of the questions would make you understand the importance of the earlier one.
“What does CL stands for ???"
I still remember many experienced and professionals attended that convention. It was a perfect corporate ambience with all the requisites that an AGM or a summit would require. Every speaker and the attendees were in exquisite corporate attire. All were trying to soothe them and even I was.
When my name was randomly selected and announced, there was a bit of noise and everyone had their eye-brows raised to know who the hell I was. Corporate expressions are very subtle and aggressive. I haven’t seen such cold-blooded expressions until that day. That day being my first convention, I was bit nervous.
It was a long day and I was to speak about what I learned in that convention. It was an opportunity to speak in front of well reputed experts. I was trying to get acclimatised of the new culture of cold-blooded, predatorious professionals, chameleon skinned and money-minded junks.
I walked down the round tables to make it to the dice to address new group of forensic experts.
“Just to make it concrete...... ALL OF US WORK..... rt ??? Don’t you guys think we need to have CL ????” I saw many of them snubbing while remaining enjoyed that statement. This was needed very badly as those enjoyed attendees knew the meaning of CL. It indirectly suggests that the majority of them forgot the actual meaning of CL.
So I had to ask “What is the meaning of CL???” To share few of the answers were;
CHECK LIST. Management always want to uphold their word and decision with proper reasoning and a supporting CHECK LIST. If an employee carries this CL then he can be looked upon in the next appraisal list (AL). This CL will ensure the completion of the task within the deadline.
CONFIDENCE LEVEL is also abbreviated as CL. In professional life, projects are handed over to those who have better CL. Opportunity becomes a regularity with determination and CL. This CL can give birth to another CL; CREW LEADER.
When an employee leaves the organization, the employee gets a CHARACTER LETTER as a part of the send-off. This CL acts as a realization of achievement, if achieved anything. Now-a-days this CL is seen in pink colour. Once there is vacancy, the management asks for another CL; CANDIDATE LIST to make sure there is no harm in losing any employee. The strong the CANDIDATE LIST is, the less the fear of losing even an experienced one.
Out of these CL’s, my favourite CL is CASUAL LEAVE which unfortunately no one answered. May be talking about CASUAL LEAVE was tabooed. According to me, CASUAL LEAVE was the most suitable long form of CL as it was the only answer to all those moaning that I had mentioned at the start.
A CASUAL LEAVE is to be yourself, to live life your-way, to take time from the busy schedule and breathe oxygen, to change your route so that you don’t see that pig-head at least for a while.
But today I feel that we all are deluding ourselves by taking a CASUAL LEAVE to relax and so that we can resume to the next CL and that is never ending .........CRAZY LOOP !!!
