Chalo Fight maren

The concept of working late is very common in the IT industry and being a part of the IT industry, I myself have spent a lot of evenings working instead of being with my family.

One bad thing is the heroism attached to working late. People who leave early ar seen as people who are not team players and not ambitious. This whole thing is imbibed in us so deeply that we consider it as a verty normal work practice. Since we are habitual of working late, we accept projects where the deadlines are too ambitious. "Fight maarni padegi par ho jayega." This fight maarna is referred to working late and (mostly even later than normal). Now in this industry there are a lot of people like me who are not all that happy about working late. "Yaar I like to spend some part of my life with my family so main fight nahin maar sakta."

Keeping people like us in mind the HR should ask the people if they are willing to work late at the time of the interview. If they are ready to work late fighter should be added to their designation. This means we will have "graphic designers" and "fighter graphic designers", "techies" and "fighter techies". This will make the life of PMs a little easy because then they will be able to get the "fighter" class people in their projects if the project requires people who can maro a fight.
