I/VW1 : so all your buddies who threatened your boss in such  away got a letter !! an u didn’t ?? why u never tried that Approach ??
JJ : sir hw can I ???  .. boss is already so much in tension..to handle so many people , to handle so many request , client shouting  at him, poor fellow.
I/VW 2 : so you have a soft corner for your boss rit !! but still he didn’t tried to save your job before u were laid off ??
JJ : no sir… it is not like that.. he would have tried for full efforts as when I was getting th pink slip (PS )he said that presently it is out of his hands so better to Accept it  in order to avoid  any further TERMIANTION TYPE of PROCESS { J } .. see he is so caring nature..  in fact he promised me also that even after getting the pink slip he will surely try to pull me back..and..
IVW1 : so do you get a call from him now ??
JJ: no sir .. I think he might be busy with the project.. in fact I tried to call him as well but he said that  AT PRESENT he does not have any opportunities for me.. but SURELY I am in his mind and will be his first choice if any req comes.. but looking at the present scenarios even a company is unable to help..
IVW2 : so means this is company’s fault ??
JJ: no sire… it is actually the circumstances of global market that is hand cuffing company to explore the areas .
IVW1 : so u never Tried for any back up plans that time ??? like searching for a new job / alternative ??
JJ : sir ..hw can I ??? even think to leave a company .. who has given me a bread and butter when I was just a graduate from college ?? see sir.. Actually the relation between employer and a employee is like A Family..they are like… like Family members !!!   at the time of difficult situation like this ..!! a member should  support his family.. I did the same. and thought that whatever happens I should never leave the company.
( By this time Mr. JJ is extremely emotional and i/vwers think that if they don’t change the discussion topic ..Mr JJ will start crying.. which they have not seen even if they have REJECTED the Candidate in their previous EXP.)

IVW 2 : hmm.. ok so what about your family ?? who all are there.??
JJ : wel in my family I have my wife and  my 2 twin kids..
IVW1 : so whr r they rit now?? Is your wife a working woman??
JJ : no sir , she is at her home ( mayka ) along with my kids.. the same employer and employee theory I told to my wife .. and she started shouting at me..later it turned into some mis-communications and she left me ..!!
I/VW1 : ohh. I am Sorry for that..Anyways what about your  friends ?? Aren’t they floating your resumes  in their companies ??
JJ : they tried sir but all in vein.. !! May be their relatives who are lesser experienced than mine.. but more knowledgeable stuff than me have started getting the job.
I/VW1  : hw  come.. ???
JJ : sir Actually talent doesn’t rely on people ‘s exp.. it is totally dependent on a person’s ability to learn.
I/VW2 : So you don’t have any talent in you rit ?? is this u want t o say..
JJ ; Sir hw could I .. ??? in fact after working in office for close to 10 – 12 hours a day and on weekends..also..!! I hardly got a time to enhance my skills.. !!
I/VW1 : oh is it ?? why your work load was so much..?? that you had to come on sat / sun ??
JJ : no no sir.. Company has a moderate work load .. it will never ever burden a person un-necessarily..
the only thing is that all my team mates used to go to their home  towns and few ppl from localite used to stya with their family !!
I/VW2 : and what about you ?? u never  have to go  to your family ??
JJ : sir .. Actually I am already out of my home town.. so any how I won’t be meeting my family until I take a vacation..:) so I thought why don’t the person who has such  a chance … let him / her enjoy his / her weekend..

IVW1 : hmm oh I see.. so for the SAKE of your COLLEGUES .. who ACCORDING TO YOU are like our FAMILY  !! u used to work on WEEKENDS .. (  thinks in the mind : What a Crap fellow  he is )
JJ ( Proudly ) : YES SIR !!! ( and a beaming smile comes to his face  J  ) .. and u know sir.. What confusion did my boss had to face because of this once?? he thought that I am in –efficient and that is why all my colleagues enjoy on weekends and I have to come to office.. hahahahah .. Can u believe that.. ?? hahaha J
at that time he even said that ki if you work like this I Will fire you out the first chance I get.. !!
I/VW2 : oh.. so u didn’t tell them the truth.. ??
JJ : sir !! How can I ?? If I would have told them the truth..some one else’s job would have been threatened by me.. this thing I didn’t want to happen ..so I kept quite.. just said.. “ I Am sorry , it won’t happen in future.. “ !! and handled the situation..myself.. !!

I/VW 1 &  I/VW2 now realize the actual cause of his lay off !!! so in order to end the i/vw they  ask him few final questions ..:

I/VW1  : hmm So for your colleagues for whom u took such a risk and handled the situation.. !!what was their  reaction to when you got the pink slip and they came to realize that you won’t be sitting  next to them from next day onwards..???
JJ : sir , they were very much worried about me sir.. .. they  fully consolidated me for  10 min.. Asked me what happened and what did u talk to your boss ?? On what criteria  you got a PS.. etc etc..Chekced that criteria for their names.. so that they can join me for a job hunt.. (like a friend in need is a friend indeed )..when they checked that they were not fitting the criteria , they consoled me again and since they were feeling a bit uncomfortable due to my situation.. they went to cafeteria to take a break.. !! they started chatting on their mobile phones that JK is laid off. JK is laid off.. I am sure they would have been finding a job arrangement for me.. thru their contacts !! u know they even said that in case I need any help .. I can always contact them..!! ) can u believe that.. In todays’ world can u find such a gud pair of friends?? {He beams again with a smile}

I/VW2 : no ..no not At all .. in fact  I TOO have NEVER EVER SEEN such collogues in my experience.
so how are your associates now ?? do u chat with them on  a regular basis ..
JJ: yeah yeah sir.. definitely.. in fact since they were busy with their work loads..they couldn’t call me.
but I called them just 4- 5 days back …. They were talking to me . but suddenly an urgent issue came to them , so I handed up the phone and said that he will cal me back.. err. I guess the issue is not yet solved so that might be the reason  he hasn’t called me yet.. !! But he will call very soon !! he is my best friend in company .. ( beams again )

 

( I/VW1 & iVW2   by this time have now realized HIS MISTAKE  and for them a person like JJ will be a threat to their company)

I/VW1 & iVW2 : hm I see. .. so ok Mr. JK .. We are done with you.. we will get back to you very soon..!!Thank you !!
JJ : thank you sir .. ( and he leaves ) !!

 

5  days are over and Mr JJ is still waiting for the call  from the company.. .. he has told the situation to his wife .. And the wife has again started teasing him regarding to find a job etc.. what a waste person , I am married to etc etc..
this has made Mr. JJ to apply on internet for a 13th attempt.. we wish that 13th which is considered  to be unlucky for some …turns up lucky for him !!!!
