A day in the life of TASO

Day 2, Project 2 and I am sitting with 2 other colleagues from TAS.......The journey that begins with Bharat Darshan and token gifts (refer: Pens of Toyo, Caps of Power etc.) thereon continues throughout the year. Each TAS manager gets to work with four different group companies.......a possible chance for companies to woo...the best talents in the country. Each company offers them best available assignments (Refer : Company's entry strategy for China; Indonesia.......Acquisition of Wind farms / Coal Mines etc. ) and facilities. Meetings are fixed up by admin with top leadership(Refer: Mr. Muthuraman at Jamshedpur) of respective companies and TAS managers are offered best available guest houses from company's side (Refer: Tata Caps....worli sea face guest house with plasma TV; AIG's linking road guest house etc.) .............well well.............life is not bad at all, and I am enjoying it.



On confirmation of a TAS manager, (s)he is loaded with gifts from various group companies. This is a strategic move from Group HR to ensure that the trained TAS managers don't leave the system. The assortment inculdes :

a) One time supply: A Nano from Tata Motors; Blackberry from Tata Tele; Broadband from Tata Comm.; Inverter battery from Tata Green; Xylus from Titan; Gold coins from Tanishq; AC from Voltas

b) One year free subscription/ supply of ........Tata Sky conncetion, Tata Salt / Fertilizer / Tea / Power

c) Lifetime discounts upto 50% on: Stay at Taj / Landmark / croma / Westside

d).......GETUP................

..........GETUP..............YOU are dozing off in office time ................

and my colleague wakes me up..............what ???? where !!!! ..........I am.

Oh No !!............its still the second project stint.........and I am dozing off along with other colleagues of mine at office, as we have nothing better to do.........

Well.....maybe it was just a dream...........or who knows.........just a premonition of things to come.........
