Finally, I got my express acceptance from CitiFinancial that I was selected as an Officer for their credit and risk function and in a week's time I'd get my offer letter..
I was very happy and was thinking on some reason that will help me quit OT asap
April 27, 2006... It was a sunny morning, I was eagerly waiting in OT at my desk to meet my AOM, I waited for him from morning, he came to office only at thirteen hundred hours..
Me: Vijay, can I talk to you in private for a while?
My AOM's name was Vijay P.
Vijay: Yes, ofcuz u can
He took me to the conference room which was near the lobby. He, then, asked me to sit and he sat opposite to me
Vijay: Tell me Savitha, what's the matter?
Me: Vijay, actually I have decided to quit OT... I'm getting married
Vijay: (shocked) oh... Congrats... its both happy and sad news to us
Me: For me either... Happy that I'm getting married and sad that I have to quit OT
Vijay: Why’s that u have to quit?
Me: Actually, my wedding was planned to be held in Feb. But, there is a new project that suddenly came up in US, so my fiance has to move to US,
Vijay: I see...
Me: It's a great offer that someone cant miss, so he's taking up the project and it'll atleast take two years for him to come back..
Vijay: Where in US?
Me: err... New York (which came out instantly)

(if he had asked me Where in NY?..... my reply would have been... Saar, anda NY bus standa otti.. No. 6, Vivekandar theru, NY kurruku sandhu, NY main road, NY..)
Vijay: Which company?
Me: HCL Technologies
Vijay: No, I'm asking about the company in US he's gonna work with
Me: hmm.. DSP Merill Lynch (aaha.. is it there in NY? poi mela poi sonna soru thanni kadaikadhu di)
Vijay: Oh that's really great
Me: Actually, my engagement is on May 8, It's happening in Madurai
Vijay: Oh that's gr8... but, after, the eng. wont u come back?
Me: I'm afraid not, cuz i'll be staying there for a while and come back here for doing some shopping and visa processing
Vijay: Oh when's ur wedding
Me: Its on June.. err.. 14th
Vijay: Ok Savitha, in that case we cant do anything.. we just have to accept ur decision
Me: Ya, u cant even do relocation as i'll be going to US (ha ha ha thapichen)
Vijay: ah that's right.. So u please give me ur resignation letter so that i can process it asap
Me: (smiling) thank u so much Vijay (appa vela mudinjidhu)
Then after a while I gave my resignation letter, a week after that I was issued with a relieving letter after long hours of waiting... Phew!!

Hey Savitha,
ReplyDeleteI jus happenned to see this blog of ur's. First thing about me is , i also worked for OfficeTiger with Vijay as my AOM.
I thougnt i would share my thoughts with you.
May I point out to you that you have used unmindfull adjectives for Mr.Vijay Pitchai. In fact during my tenure in OT I only found him to be a very nice person.
Even the discussion that you have narrated does not imply anything wrong about his attitude.
I am sure that you have written this just for the heck of writing it and so that some reader would think that you r a kool freak.
I suggest that you should not continue this for the very reason that you are writing in a publicly shared space and also you could hurt someone's feelings without any reason.
