Once I read a medieval timed fable during my childhood of a horseman riding down the road. He met three men at particular distances on his way. The first man he sees looked like a carpenter and was with a chisel and hammer, working on a piece of log. The horseman asked the carpenter who looked quite angry and frustrated, “What do thou think ye doing?” The carpenter answered in an upset voice, “I am trying to chip away this piece of log and it is a tiresome job.”
The horseman moved on and at a spread, he found another one with the same tools and a piece of wood. He was neither sad nor much happier. The horseman approached him and asked the same question. The man said, “I am carving a piece of wood.”
The horseman galloped at a stretch and before long, came across the third man who was also with the same articles as in the earlier two cases. As the horseman enquired him with the same question, he said, “I am making an altar for my Lord’s house.” The horseman was surprisingly delighted to see that the third man was humming a famous Christmas carol while working even when it was hot and humid.
Why do we work?
This might be a funnily strange question to anybody. Of course, we work to put an uninterrupted flow of food on our table and roof over our heads. This kind of a reply usually comes up with a slightly monotonous voice, seemingly making it obvious that they do everything in their workplace, only for money. However, if this situation is totally true, then what about living legends like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, who generate more than the GDP of Luxembourg, annually. Yet they toss themselves so hard at work as if their dinner depended on what they would earn during their lunch. Research professor at University of Massachusetts, Robert Weiss when surveyed people on if they would still continue to work, if they had a distant, unknown uncle who passed a million dollars in inheritance to them? Comparatively, eight out of ten persons believed yes. So, this tells us that working in an office or anywhere is not all about money. But what is it about then?
Before the recession ate everything, there was a time when people had plenty of reasons for working for their companies. They could proudly yell, “Hey, I am a part of Facebook.” Or somebody telling you, “Proud to make the world’s best thirst quencher, Pepsi,” and it meant a lot for them and respect from others. Psychologists say this is as co-dependency, explained as mutual care and hope for both the employer and the employee. Yet, there are places that have seen changes with time, especially the flat-level organizations today, who offer less than what was promised at the time of interviews for better jobs.
In short, nowadays, hard work is less a criterion to promise success than before. Employees are not provided with the same benefits with what our fathers and grandfathers received before. Probably, the rules of the corporate game reserve have changed. In fact, the prizes go to those with superfluous reasons. This suggests that if people are not turning for those seemingly big opportunities, then what is tempting them?
In a study on 30,000 employees in the US, 47% of them said that they only work for what makes up the most positive aspect in their professional life. Other hopes come secondary. Just like the medieval carpenter who believed on his own impression of work, people look into their hearts before to the corporations.
Why Would You Join Retina Software
I read somewhere about one Martin Rosenblum, who is an Archivist in Harley Davidson. He said that every morning, he wakes up early to get to the office only because his company has soul. There really is something that pumps up the enthusiasm and intrigues every mind about their tasks. That’s the same spirit that Retina Software has in common.
Working at Retina Software is a humbling experience for ones who work here as the organization offers an environment of real-order-and-rule, you make this, sort of atmosphere. People feel comradeship, effort, the intellect of success in a team and most of the ones play their games with the changed rules. They work here to satisfy what they feel inside their hearts keeping financial outcome aside.
Conducive for a meaningful work atmosphere, Retina Software sees the fun within its employees to learn, grow and develop more as a part of it every day. In short, Retina Software makes your job as a calling, most probably for your lifetime as it gets meaningful recognitions with every work you do here.
During 1980’s, Apple’s co-founder Steve Jobs popularly persuaded John Sculley, president of Pepsi-Cola to resign there and join as president of Apple. He said to Sculley, “Do you want to spend the rest of your life peddling sugar water?” If you think that you want to create something more meaningful, ambitious and creatively genius, join the “university” of Retina Software. I call it ‘university’ because learning is more stressed on here than just working while dreaming about the month pay-day. So, if you want to just stop pedaling the sugar water in your life, come and join Retina Software and be a part of it.
