Hi, being a 4th year student, I think I'll be answer your queries in a satisfactory way.To come to the answer, I would be rather clear that I derived most of my observations from my mistakes rather than achievements, so yeah really its better to know both sides of the coin before placing a bet.Now, in my experience the 4 years of your college life will probably be the best 4 years of your life in terms of friends, experiences you gain, the environment and truly you will enjoy life in SGSITS. But be careful not to get lost in the lovely woods, however dark, deep and tempting they may seem.In order to completely utilise your 4 years here, you should take care that you live a life that is balanced. Now what I mean by the term balanced is that you perform well academically, become a member of a good club and also sometimes bunk the class and go to chappanStarting from the Academics, take care that you give each and every test/exam whether it be mid term, end term or practical with full preparation. Don't take exams and pointers casually, they really play an important role. Whether it be placements or you go for an MBA or an MS, pointers really matter. By full preparation I dont mean that you study like you studied for JEE, No probably you don't have to study that hard in your lifetime for an entrance exam preparation. But you should start studying for midsems a week before just an hour study would be okay on weekdays but as mid sems generally start from monday so you'll have saturday and sunday for them. Devote these two days to midsem completely and I am sure you'll get good results. Coming to the end sems prepare well in the preparation leave granted to you usually 10–12 days before commencement of first paper and the usual 2–3 days you get between the papers, utilise these gaps fully study each and every topic of the syllabus (the paper on which 5 units with topics are written available at cafeteria or circulated in college Whatsapp group), I mentioned it specifically beacuse in the first and second year some students have notion that whatever is taught in the class will only come in the paper but NO its not. In the exam paper each and every topic from the syllabus will come dont believe on rumours unless your faculty spreads them (Yes, some faculties are nice). Solve the previous 3 yrs. Papers available at cafeteria and also stay updated with the class Whatsapp group as sometimes blessings come in the form of IMP topics from some really nice faculties.Given you follow the above advice you will score a decent cgpa, where decent has a different definition in each stream, I'll explain -If you want to pursue MS from Foreign Universities or MBA from the top B-schools of india yout cgpa should be around 8 and not less than that, these Universities pay a lot of heed to your UG scores and if you are not serious about it from first year it becomes really tough to improve them as you get along the semesters.If you want to go for Civil Services or GATE or placements then a cgpa of 7.5 is considerd as decent but not less than that in any case. Also, try to remain consistent during the semesters i.e. scoring a 7.5 throughout is better than scoring a 7 in first sems and then 8 in last sems, it is really tough as during the last sems you'll be focusing a lot on competitive exams or placements.So, in short remain consistent to score a 8 gpa if you are an MBA/MS aspirant or a 7.5 gpa in each semester other cases. Well, as an advice most people dont know what career to choose after pursuing B.E. till they come in third year so play safe and try to score an 8 in the first two years and they plan your way accordingly.Also, in maintaining gpa, Sessionals play an IMPORTANT role don't neglect the importance of attendance, assignments on time, and mid sems. All these cover nearly 40% of your total marks maybe more. So dont neglect them. Keep your behaviour decent in class, respect the proff. However grumpy thry may be.Coming to the PG plans most people join a coaching in 3rd year for either GATE/CAT/GRE/CIVIL SERIVES and it's good because you need to have a backup option. So most students are in dillemma on what to choose as a career path so my advice is that decide this before starting your third year so that you dont waste time and money in switching from one coaching to another or worse than that not joining any one. Consult your parents, seniors and most Importantly what you want to do in life and take a wise decision believe me all streams are good and equally paying given one is determined.Also, a considerable amount depends on your branch if your from CS/IT believe me you are in the best spot, any opportunity is open for you all good companies that come to our college basically come for software engg. Jobs, and alongside you can prepare for GATE as well or CAT maybe or GRE maybe. Given you are from cs/it branch take care that you develop your coding skills upto a decent level. For this you must have a strong command on the following topics -1st yr. - C/C++2nd yr. - DATA STRUCTURES, JAVA3/4 YR - you can learn an additional language like python used in data analytics or Machine learningYou can learn these online through GeeksforGeeks | A computer science portal for geeks or NPTEL and advanced topics like ML, data science, python through websites like Coursera | Online Courses & Credentials by Top Educators. Join for Free , Online Courses - Learn Anything, On Your Schedule | Udemy , edXAlongside do competitive coding on platforms like HackerRank , codechef this will give you an edge over other students and you'll get to know that you like coding or not, if not you can always make a switch to managerial side by doing an MBA but my suggestion always try first coding is really the most logical activity that you'll do in your life.Also, if you are from CS branch, you'll get quite a few perks like daily assignments, quizzes, grumpy prof., Attendance regulations and Some really challenging exam papers. So you'll have to work really hard here. But beleive me the hard work pays off, I consider CS to be the best branch of GSITS in terms of quality of students. You see exceptionally talented coders among them. So you have to work hard but its not like they dont enjoy, in fact CS branch have their branch sport : PUBG (earlier it was Mini Militia)Again if you are from Electrical branches i.e. EC/EE/EI you are in a win win situation too as almost all the software companies that visit our campus allow these branches to sit for the placements. So if you have a passion for coding pursue it alongside your studies you can take help from websites like GeeksforGeeks | A computer science portal for geeks for technical topics. P.S. : It's really a great site. Also, you can appear for core comapnies although their number is very less but still if you have interest you can go for further studies through GATE. Generally as a trend I have seen majority of EC people go for CAT coaching (I dont know the reason) but this is also an option for you.Coming to the core branches Civil/Mech. Most software companies that visit our campus dont allow these braches and also the core companies for these branches recruit very less no. Of students. So most people go for Post Graduation mostly Civil Services, IES or GATE , a few CAT people too. But if you are really interested in the stream our college has an excellent faculty pool for these branches and you can join SAE for mech.For the branches BM and IP, my sincere advice for you is to try to upgrade your branch to cs/it/ec/ee/ei/civ./mech. In the given order, it is harsh but these branches dont have good opportunities in them. IP still has GATE as it is realted to Mech. But for BM try really hard in your first two sem. And get a branch upgrade.Also, Do as much internships as possible, if possible one in every break starting from 3rd sem break, you'll get a lot of industry exposure and will be able to really know your job.Enough about the Academics, now comes a little bit interesting part : The ExtracurricularsFor this, a recommend you to join at least one and at most two GOOD clubs for our college preferably during the first year only. By Good I mean the clubs which are not startups (yes there are few, you'll know eventually). So the good clubs are -Ingenious - For literary enthusiasts and poem loversPratibimb - The best club for Art, music, danceCodefoster - coding club for geeks really good club#include - Yes, how can I forget this our own IT club founder by my peers some of 'em quite goodE-cell - For the buddying Entrepreneurs really a good club for learning management skillsSAE and YAAN - for mech. LoversI beleive one should really join one or two of these clubs only, preferably one art/literary side and one tech. Side. You will learn a lot about the new things, make new friends, this will increase your exposure and develope your personality as a whole. Also, the most important part is that you'll have something substantial to write in your Resume when the comapnies visit during the 4th year. Also, you'll develop contatcs with your seniors through these clubs who will always guide you in the best possible way (Don't be afraid of ragging it's a historic concept that went extinct a few *million* years ago )Now comes the fun part which is as important as the previous two parts with me being a specialist in this one :DYou must have fun in your college life otherwise it will be a disrespect of Engineers , we are people who can do anything and everything. So in this process of becoming important contributers to the society we must perform each and every part of the process with utmost care. So guys and girls, Enjoy your 4 years to the utmost level (given the condition that you follow the academics and extra curr. part).Make new friends, Develope a few crush(es), Go to Night out at Super Corridor, sarafa, Night stay at your friend's room watching football or playing Fifa or maybe Horror movies ( my fav.)Go to food joints like in chappan, a few good cafes (you can take a detailed list of these from me, just ping me)Bunk a few classes just make sure that you dont get detained some prof. Are very strict on it but still you can bunk 25% of the classes in any case (although I advise not to utilise this to the full capacity), go to nearby places like Ralamandal, Janapav, Patalpani, Tincha fall, Nakhrali Dhani, Crescent. Enjoy the rangpanchmi at Rajwada and what not. Indore is full of life even the vehicles here sing, “ho halla” :PSo in short Live your Life but dont be reckless lead a balanced life and you'll get everything from this college. Take care of a few things maybe although they may seem trivial but they are important too :For boys, dont get involved in the classic rivalry between localites and hostlers dont be a member of either of the two cliche teams just a group of goons having adrenaline rush avoid these, this could cause harm to your career and too some extent life also.Refrain from Smoking, Drugs in clg life the addiction is very bad, I have seen some of my friends suffer badly from it.Dont fall into a relationship, most of these are just temporary relationships more like “kaam nikalna apna apna”, they leave a person devastated academically and emotionally. Try to avoid them.Don't take panga with teachers trying to be cool, pay respect to them and you'll be easy going getting good sessionals and all, beleive me sessionals play an important role in your cgpaSo, I hope I answered all your queries to the best of my knowledge. This is all I learnt during my 4 years and if you can learn from it, it will be benificial for you.For any further query, you can message me.All the best, you have enteted a new and probably the best phase of your life “Engineering”Cheers

There are several things you need to keep in mind while choosing an engineering college:Ranking – Look at where the colleges stand in ranking issues by MHRD as well as some private entities like Business Standard, India Today. These rankings may differ slightly from each other. Refer to all the lists, try talking to a few students who are already enrolled in various colleges, and make an extensive list of your own. Apply to these colleges accordingly.Government or Private – Government colleges are a more preferred option. However, there are some private colleges that are also high ranking. These could be considered over some of the government colleges, especially for the desired branch.Branches offered by the college – Make a list of colleges with the branches offered and the branch/es you are interested in. Keep at least 3 backup branches in case you do not get the one you desire.Placement offered by the college – Almost all colleges claim 98-100% placement. The reality is that most of the students are hired by mass recruiters. It is important to see the average and highest placement along with the median package offered. Students should also see what companies have visited with what roles, whether there are any international opportunities.Internships – It is important to see whether the college has some tie-ups or helps to arrange for some internships for the students. Some colleges have internships/projects as a whole semester which is mandatory.Cost to be borne – This includes not just the tuition fee of the college but also the staying costs – whether or not the hostel will be provided, mess charge, travel costs, etc.Location – Although it is not the most important thing, the location of the college should be kept in mind, if the candidate has multiple opportunities, and also to arrange for travel, food, and accommodation. This should also include the distance from the student's home.Financial aids/scholarships – Some colleges offer scholarships to top-performing students. This should be kept in mind, especially for students who have taken a loan or have a slight financial crunch. It also helps to show the merit of the student.Campus – College campus is another small deciding factor. It is important to find out the kind of campus that the college has, whether or not they have adequate libraries, computer resources, etc.Accreditations – Educational accreditations help judge a college's quality.Qualifications of Professors – This will help to determine the quality of education that is prevailing in a particular college. Higher qualified professors are more likely to be more serious about maintaining the standards of education.Student Bodies/Clubs, Committees – Extracurriculars are an important part of student life. They not only help develop team spirit and shape your personality; they also help in your curriculum vitae.Class Size – This would also help to get some idea on the quality of education that must be present in the college.Degree/Degrees offered by the college – This includes dual degrees or integrated courses like B.Tech. + M.Tech. or B.Tech. + MBA. This is not offered by all colleges and should be looked at specifically if the candidate is interested in pursuing a dual degree.

Well, I didn’t quite get fired, but I got one serious, formal write-up, and my manager, the head of HR, tried to write me up for something else, and she ended up looking really, really stupid.But still, it was obvious I needed to get out of there, and grad school was what to do next. It was already April or so, thus most schools would not accept me. But I got an excellent GRE score, and blasted that score out to maybe 50 schools with rush/priority or whatever the option was called. Eventually I found a decent (in the top 25 or so) program that had rolling admissions.Anyway, back to the job. It was the HR department. It was my first “real” job after I got my BA. Occasionally I noticed old (at least 5yrs old) org charts indicating that HR once had had a VP and Sr. VP, but when I was hired, Manager was as high as it went, and she reported directly to the President. I think she got her BA at a very mediocre-to-bad place, since she had no formal learning about HR. The lightbulbs got changed, and she was checking in on staff whether they were an improvement to our working conditions. I made some off-hand joke about the Hawthorne Effect. She didn’t get it even after I explained it to her.We were a good sized credit union, Federally insured, of course, and had some sort of special relationship with the military because we had branches in some odd places just so a military base could have a financial institution. Well, an African-American disgruntled applicant (or pre-disgruntled person, since she actually never applied in the end) wanted to see our Affirmative Action Plan. The manager never actually spoke with the disgruntled person; rather, I, the youngest and least senior member of the department (and also the only male) had to shuttle back and forth from the Manager’s office to the front desk, repeating lame variants on “Well, it’s a secured document,” “We do not have access to it at the moment” and excuses like that. Eventually the disgruntled lady left in a huff. I was the worst possible person to be trying to calm her down, because of my skin-color (I’m white), gender (I’m male. While I am far from intimidating, and really tried to keep the situation low-key and collaborative, using a male is more likely to bring about escalation of conflict even in an office setting. My age didn’t help (many people consider it insulting to be forced to deal with an a person who is inexperienced, powerless, and likely somewhat incompetent due to their lack of experience. All these issues were exacerbated by the fact that the Manager’s office was right in plain sight about fifteen feet behind the front desk and I kept going back to her office for advice/support.Many of you may not know much about required Federal filings in the US, but Annual EEO-1 reports are required if a business meets any requirement listed below:We were more than large enough >500 to require one just based on the simple number of employees, regardless of anything else.We were a financial institution, almost all of which must file. We met all three of the possible criteria for filing. If you even meet one of the criteria, you must file (besides the # employees issue by itself).Held Federal Contracts >$50,000. It’s remotely possible that I’m wrong about this one, but with our branches on bases, I’m pretty sure we had *some* dealings with the Feds, even just “who will pay to resurface the parking lot” or other minor stuff that could exceed $50,000 pretty easily if you add them up/Federal Depository in any amount. I am almost certain we handled direct deposit for military members on several bases in AK and WA, and the Philippines until Pinatubo erupted.Again it’s possible I’m wrong, but I think we handled savings bonds and Notes.So. We should have been filing annually. They’re not fun, but not terrible either. The manager didn’t do them because she had no idea what they were or that we needed to file them. We also needed an Affirmative Action plan, updated annually. This was the report the disgruntled lady wanted to see, and while the EEO-1 is considered confidential, disgruntled lady had a Federally mandated legal right to read our Affirmative Action plan. But there was no such plan to read and we hadn’t been one for years. . .Anyway, I did not get in trouble for that one, although my manager was not happy when afterward I pulled one of her BLR binders and showed her the requirements for EEO-1 and Affirmative Action (BLR binders documented every HR-related law or regulation. They came in print and provided extensive commentaries/explanations/clarifications. Once a month, a packet would arrive for updating the binders. Those binders took up a *lot* of shelf space.).The reason I was able to easily pull out exactly the right binder and go to the right section was that I was enrolled in an HR class that was part of the MPA program at the University and had studied the issues surrounding discrimination, Affirmative Action, and sexual harassment recently. With her permission I used the BLR binders as a resource (if you’re curious, an MPA is a lot like and MBA, but is meant for non-profits and government workers). Anyway, I filed the required paperwork for tuition reimbursement once I had my grade in hand. The main requirement for reimbursement was that the class(es) you were taking needed to be related to your current job. Guess who oversaw the reimbursement program? My manager, of course (ultimately the President signed the paperwork, but she decided which which ones were worthy of his signature). My reimbursement denied of course. Recently I had gotten a small promotion for handling Employee Benefits instead of screening job applicants. I still had the same co-workers, same horrible boss, and only moved to a desk about ten feet away from my old one. She explained to me that benefits were more of a payroll issue than an HR issue, and since I was no longer an truly an HR worker, the class was not related to my job.Oh, two really nasty situations arose while I was doing benefits.We had a recently hired teller who became pregnant (she probably had 90 days on the job, since that’s when health insurance and such kicked in). My manager was dedicated to proving the pregnancy was a pre-existing condition. Evil. And the manager handled it like the disgruntled lady.The other benefits nastiness involved our retirement plan. *now* I understand Annuities vs defined benefit vs defined contribution, but back then I didn’t know much of anything about retirement plans. We had a defined-benefit plan. One day a fairly high ranking employee called me to ask about a lump sum immediately vs. letting his money ride (I don’t know how he could pull out his retirement money and keep working, but somehow he could. (I think it had to do with being the director/CEO/President of a company that was technically separate but wholly owned by the credit union). Anyway, he was concerned that his lump sum value might shrink soon. I discussed it with my manager,and she didn’t seem to know much either. When I told her that he was insisting on a solid answer ASAP, she finally gave me a definitive answer: your retirement funds will never decrease. The plan provides defined benefits, so the value is not affected by the stock market. Your benefits just keep growing while you are working and will never go down. I called the man back, and while he didn’t seem entirely convinced (my utter ignorance and confusion in the previous call probably didn’t help).A little while later, probably after a month had passed, I heard from him again. He was absolutely fuming and ready to sue. Apparently the value of the lump sum *had* decreased, and by a large enough amount to make him extremely angry. My boss was out, so I directly called up the company that managed the plan.I didn’t know how lump sums vs annuities vs regular defined benefit plans worked, having had no exposure to retirement products at the tender age of 20 (I actually did already understand in a basic sense how defined contribution plans because they are basically just investing with pre-tax dollars and maybe a match from your employer). Anyway, the kind and patient representative of the company that managed our retirement plan explained that a lump sum was calculated based on the total amount of money you would expect to receive from the plan if you lived your full predicted lifespan, adjusted for assumptions about what investments would yield during that period. If investments in general were doing well and were expected to continue to do well, a lump sum might go up, but if investments were doing poorly and expected to do so in the future, a lump sum could go down. Or perhaps they pegged the yield to the prime rate or treasury bonds. In any case, the expectation of return on investment the company used for calculating lump sums had gone down bit, thus causing the amount of a lump sum to go down. BTW — this was 1993 or ‘94. I think that the company used some sort of rolling average, and they had just included the 1990 recession in the years they were using. Or maybe it went down for some other reason.In any case, I managed to regained the trust of the person who had lost money. I confessed my ignorance and apologized for any harm that came from it, and basically told him what had just been explained to me. He already understood the issues, since he paid attention to his statements and understood retirement plans, but at least now we were on the same page. With the boss out of the office, I couldn’t do anything to solve the problem but we would see once she returned.When she returned to the office, she blamed the whole thing on my having overstepped my bounds and made promises on behalf of the organization that I was not authorized to make (going back to her statement that “Your benefits will never decrease,” etc., only now, she said that I had made up the erroneous statements on my own). Luckily, I did not get written up or fired. I think it was because I knew that the lump sum guy had been made whole using funds from the Credit Union (not the retirement plan), and that a VP or above had back-dated the check to make the amount match what it would have been in an alternate universe. I’m not sure exactly whether they committed a crime or not, but the manager wanted to keep it hush-hush, so she did not retaliate. At least not immediately.Shortly thereafter, I was written up for violating company policy and state labor law. I was accused of arriving early, sometimes taking lunches more brief than allowed, and also, I sometimes worked late to complete a task. I probably showed up ten minutes early every day because the penalties for tardiness could quickly lead to termination. I admittedly had the habit of failing to use my last five minutes at lunch. Staying late could vary, but I usually left and 5:00 and if the task was going to take more than 20 minutes or so, I’d just leave the work to be completed the next day. By engaging in this unauthorized behavior, I was creating a dangerous legal liability for the Credit Union. I might be keeping track of my extra work time, planning to sue for failure to pay me for the extra work, and also attempt to gain a punitive award. I thought it was a very, very strange accusation, but I was clearly guilty of the behavior she had documented.So: one strike. Two more write ups meant termination.The next attempt to write me up was based on the accusation that I had misrepresented my access to the Credit Union President while conversing with one of our branch managers. I did have a conversation with that manager regarding a Tuition Reimbursement taking longer to process than she had expected. I told her something along the lines that the forms for that program needed to be signed by the President, and due to busy schedules, apparently my Manager had not had an opportunity to meet with him recently.My Manager accused me of having told the Branch Manager that *I* had not had an opportunity to meet with the President lately. The hierarchy was very rigid; only once in three years was I allowed enter the top floor where the executives were, and that was just to quickly drop something off with the receptionist on my Manager’s behalf. So meeting with the President would be absurd for somebody of my stature. While my Manager was preparing my formal reprimand, I asked if we could call that Branch Manager and get her recollection of the conversation. My Manager was convinced enough about what she had heard that she agreed. It would just be more damning proof of my having said what she had overheard.We called, and the Branch manager could not recall the conversation in complete detail because it was such a routine non-event, but she was certain she would have remembered if I had claimed to be having meetings with the President. So it was my memory and the memory of the Branch Manager against my Manager’s memory. I had narrowly avoided my second formal write-up.After that incident, the Manager and I experienced levels of defensiveness and hatred that I never knew existed. I had generally been rather obsequious and deferential if it looked like her anger and hatred of others was likely to surface. After my “win” from the Branch Manager backing up my side of the story, those who knew about the conflict were glad. She had always been erratic and sometimes just made no sense, but this was the first time (as far as I knew) she had been called on her bullshit and had her power and judgement questioned.Now, I just didn’t care. I spent much of an entire week attempting to get our magical new Laser Printer (bye bye, dot matrix!) to communicate with our mainframe accounts and the terrible, horrible software we used for managing some of our information about employees (the bulk of the information was still stored as hard copy in about 15–20 filing cabinets).I did it! The mainframe could print to the Laser Printer. Much of my time had been spent typing letters notifying individuals about significant changes to their benefits (gaining health insurance after 90 days, bumping up to the next level of the defined benefit plan after ten years, COBRA eligibility upon termination, etc., etc., etc.) Many different events, each with a separate report from the mainframe. I didn’t need to type the whole letter; we had the various notifications created by a printing company on CU letterhead, so I generally just needed to type their name, one or more dates, and maybe a little more for some of the letters. Anyway, once I had it going, I started with the most common notifications and worked my way through the different types of letter. It was a *very* annoying and error-prone job to get the mainframe to put the names and dates and such in the proper parts of the letter, but it was possible, and a lot more fun than typing them. In addition, it really ticked off the Manager. IT staff had connected only her terminal to the Laser Printer. But they set it up in a communal area surrounded by our staff. When she finally noticed what I was doing, she was angry, but the staff were glad to be able to get away from the dot matrix, and were looking forward to automating processes like I was doing. It was such an obvious improvement to the speed, accuracy, and appearance of our work that she backed off, which had seldom, if ever, happened before. I suspect that word of her going loony-bird about meetings with the President had made its way to the executive suite and she may have been told to calm down or something. Or, she was just having an unusually nice day. I dunno.About a week later, I was accepted to grad school. There was still time to participate in the summer construction-and-related-activities boom that happened each year in Alaska. So I left the Credit Union, planning to get the highest paying job possible for the Summer. Thus, I became trained in hazardous waste labor and earned more money in ten weeks than I would earn at the Credit Union in a year. Then my life really began, upon entering grad school.If you made it this far, great! Thanks for paying atten for so long to a relatively uneventful story.That manager was a vicious person who was probably in HR precisely because her position allowed her to be a bully as an adult. The pre-existing condition issue for the pregnant teller, was just one little event out of many. There was a young married couple in the building; she worked in the branch doing something more than a Teller but less than a Loan Officer or Management. Member services Rep, I think. He worked as a groundskeeper mowin the grass and such at first, but it turned out he actually was educated, intelligent, and diligent, so he moved to a much better position in Real Estate. A move that dramatic was practically unheard of. The birth announcement about their first child was proudly communicated to the whole organization by somebody important. If that was on a Monday, then fast-forward to Wednesday, two days later. She fired the husband for his third tardy of the year, just two days after we celebrated his child’s birth. He was not very tardy, less than five minutes I believe. The Manager in Real estate didn’t want him fired, and I believe it was that manager who brought the absurd situation to the attention of somebody on the Executive floor. The new father’s termination was rescinded the same week it occured.In another brazenly cruel situation, HR had an employee foisted upon us from Insurance. Our new co-worker had apparently worked in insurance for much of her life, but was new to the Credit Union. She had been working in Insurance for perhaps a month before she was moved to HR. It was soon apparent why the Insurance department had wanted her gone. She was probably in her mid-to-late 60’s, and I suspect that she had been a rather odd character for her whole life; her quirks were probably not due to her age. She was one of the kindest, warmest, most loving people I had ever met, but she simply could not think on her feet and get complex tasks accomplished. She wasn’t particularly useful, but she made a decent receptionist (she loved to smile and greet people coming through the door.) She could take messages just fine, and efficiently operated the receptionist phone with multiple lines to forward calls. I never did understand how to work that device very well. apart from being friendly and greeting people, we would occasionally assign her simple tasks, such as stuffing a bunch of envelopes or alphabetizing 1000 job applications. She was rather slow, and sometimes got hung up by minor complications that most of us could simply work around. So: not a fast and efficient employee, but a wonderful person who was able to contribute to the organization, just not by doing complex tasks. Attacks began. First, our Manager forbade her to have a water bottle or snacks at work. The lady countered with a note from her doctor that declared that she needed water and snacks available at all times; might have been diabetes I dunno for sure.This is the longest post I have ever created, and is one of the few with any type of narrative. Please comment about what you thought. Good, bad, boring, enjoyable, painful, whatever!
