Professionals need to be professionals


Ever since i joined my office, i have seen people talking so much about the company’s professionalism and all... the managers, they never stop talking about what the company expects from you... initially i felt i wont be able to keep up with them... but slowly i realised, its all just the talk or their level of high standard is infact on the lower side...
All confirmed in the annual conference for sales organised by the company... my manager said, ‘formal dressing’... well, ok... i thought... first corporate conference, lets go all professional... i got myself dressed up in a formal suit.... but it turned out, i was the only formally dressed editor there... it was quite embarrassing considering the way my group showed up... even for the party... editors there are considered just a bunch of nerds, i surprised everyone breaking that rule...
I had a long chat with others who worked there before and my cousin... everyone agreed people this part of the world are so miserly... wont spend much for parties or dressing up.... i consoled myself, atleast i acted like a professional.... 
well, next time, my manager says anything about the company’s legacy, i know how to weigh that and take that....
