stoopid,insane stuff.. i don't care a damn...


Was going thru all d old mails from long back..deleting unwanted mail.. archiving needed ones when I chanced upon this mail written by me way back..may be a couple of years ago…

Way back then.. I was fresh outta college,looking out for a job in my area of interest(read AOI)…( I had turned down a handful of lucrative offers in IT coz it never appealed to me one bit.. sittin infront of a comp whole day.. sucks…. Atleast to me.. I can talk 2 people.. write…but I can’t interact with a machine which doesn’t bother to reciprocrate…: ) ..

Campus placements were fullov IT companies(No core companies.. not even 1 )…I took ‘em jus for d heck of it… getting selected n turning these offers down used to be the order of the day..

So I happened to see this Ad in a daily and sent my resume over to this one company in my AOI,for which they asked me to attend a training on my own cost… this stupid mail of theirs went straight to my trash…

Around 5 months later.. I had the same hellova company….callin me down to attend a seminar and tak up d same training programme .. where I was asked to pay again…

The transcript of the mails is out here 2 read..
This is the mail from the company:

My reply to them....

Dear Mr.%^$($)$)$),

Kindly view the attachment below sent to me by your company. I hope you are aware of the fee structure charged by you for the two month training period.

Do u think by charging such exhorbitant rates your firm will be able to teach and impart training in the same syllabus that an engineer has learnt in 4 years of an engineering course within a short span of just 2 months...?

I'm sorry..I beg to differ..

and after the initial training period the emolument paid to an engineer is just Rs.5.5 k? don't u think you are just exploiting fresh engineers.....? atleast engineers who have undergone training for two long months in your company where they learn what they could not in 4 years while they were in college deserve more than just 5.5 k...?dont u think so?

i treat this as a good way of making money adopted by ur company..collecting fee from d candidate and paying him twelve months salary from his own money...it would be better if your company kept away from sending such emails viewed just as crap by most who just delete it.....and i pity those who are mislead by your mails and finally join you... atleast please don't contact me with such offers in future...

it would do a world of good 2 your company to offer an enginner a job rather than trying to get the same amount of money(Rs.75 K) which is the coll fee for full four year course.....

Hope not to hear from you with such dumb offers in future....,

Thanks for spending your precious time to read my email...

regards,

S
