This one is the most flourishing of them I believe, the biggest reapers of other’s toils. You will find such an organisation in every street of metros like kolkata.
I only fell in their trap twice, that too because they were my brother’s friend. The interesting part is their conscience, if they can dupe their friends then how do they treat enemies and others? Just curious!!!
First one was a group of my brother’s friend, who after procuring a consignment from a company to build an ebook for their company gave me the offer to complete the data entry in MSWord, well I worked for three months on my expense, that included going to santoshpur from behala, at the end the guy handed me over two thousand rupee whereas he pocketed more than twenty thousand rupee from the company, and after my work was done all he has done was to put them on the website.
Second incident was a dbase based data entry, I worked for more than ten hours each day from home but that guy paid in an outrageous rate, out of politeness my brother has not confirmed financial sides or double checked his rates and he took complete benefit of that.
These organisations have only one motto.. to steal the toil of others. For that they will go to no end, they always look for freshers, old unemployed people or people who want to work from home. Then the assignment is handed over at a very cheap rate, or normal rate. The main drama starts when the time of payment comes, lots of mistakes crop up in the work and a disgusting bargaining starts, which inevitably ends up in the loss of the data entry operator.. because these guys have years of experience of stealing other’s money.

too much sacrifice
Till date I have worked only in one so called corporate office. And after working in that I decided that I wont join another. Because the level of compromise they ask for is impossible to offer.
They appoint normal, ambitious human beings and transform them into shameless, ruthless, money hungry creatures. They expect all type of moral compromises from you, and if you don’t oblige the doors are open.
Working with them can be real torture from them, I left my office after a nasty drama created by my dramaqueen boss. I still remember the scene, how the quite nice, soft people were a mute spectator of the entire drama. Some of them had quite a nice term with me. Specially a few of them.
I still remember three of them, they were perfectly wonderful people, one was out of town but the remaining two were present there. I still remember the agitated face of one of them. it was quite clear by his face that he was furious but could not do any thing. He was sitting at the reception and shaking with anger, watching the entire drama.
Glad that I did not gave in to that moral compromisation.

Small firm employees..their miseries
In today’s India we are slowly realising the necessity that Private concerns should flourish side by side the government organisations when it comes to offering employment opportunities. People will change their mindset about joining private firms, and happily pick up offers from private concerns.
But these organisations usually dupe their employees too much. Specially the very small or proprietorship organisations. They employ staffs at a salary which forget about feeding their family, it wont be able to feed his or her own mouth. Whereas these employees usually don’t lack expertise.
I have seen a lot of persons slaving away in these small private firms with paltry salaries like one thousand rupee per month. They stick to these jobs for years without even asking for a raise because they know if they leave some one else will immediately join their post, and their employers will not mind shutting their door on them.
Why does not government looks into these matters and firmly protects the rights of these people?

medical transcription.. a mirage for me
A little homework before you invest a huge amount of money in a course/career oriented course:-
Medical transcription as a career can be very tempting. Its been publicized as a high paying job and often a verbal confirmation of absorption on SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THE COURSE is given by the counsellors. Please note the word SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THE COURSE. I have recently completed a course without being successful, wasting Rs. 20,000 and six precious months. Whereas I can confidently say that I would have been able to complete the course successfully if the training and teaching techniques were appropriate.
The sum total of the entire episode which costed me too dearly, I think is my moral duty to share with all. One should be very careful about joining these trainings and check these things:-
1. how much the institute is giving in written about the absorption etc before taking in the first instalment. Please check the criteria of SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION specially, ask them what is the clear definition of SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION, How much percentage will that mean.
2. if he/she can clearly understand american english spoken in a very slurred manner. By a doctor who is some times absent minded and sometimes almost sleepy aftr toiling all day. He is usually giving the dictations after working all day.
3. if he has the temperament to listen to these files for hours and type them in pretty good speed. Because a good ear, amply good health and good typing speed should be a must, if the counsellor says any thing else he is just aiming for your money.
4. He will have to have amply good command over english too, that is the grammatical side of english, he will have to some times fill in unsaid words, or guess unintelligible words.
5. if he or she will be able to study amply complex medical studies and secure 60-85 per cent marks in them. To get a sample of the text, that is the entire course curriculum any one can hit “medical transcription free course” on google. I looked that way but unfortunately after handing over the first instalment.
6. I was expected to secure 50% in first module, 70% in second module and third module and 85% in fourth module. The modules are not independent, they are added as the course progresses. Apart from that you have to be well versed in drugs in the same field. And in the final you will have to give exam on that too. The voice files will be there to be handled in enough numbers.
7. No matter how much you are insisted to leave the course and join On Job Training don’t do it, because there are high chances that they will make you leave if you don’t meet their expectation, or if you stay in both cases you wont get the certificate. That will mean you wont be able to change the organisation. You will have to work there as per their will and terms.
8. Don’t bank on guidance which will be sweetly promised to you during counselling the modus operandi will be exactly the opposite. So be careful about your time and money.
9. Dont be dead confident that your capability will be judged fairly and justly. there are 101 methods of usurping a student's money with earnest intention of not absorbing him/her.
for example: suppose your institute head is certain that he will appoint you, and says that again and again, he has even verbally promised you with a big grin.
But will you work in an organisation where colleagues and faculties are obsessed in discussing soft porn subjects openly and loudly? without letting you walk away, even following you around if you get away from them?
will you feel safe in such an environment if it is in a flat and you have often noted the main door bolted from inside?
10 Never ignore the word of mouth of ex students, before you join any such organisation ask them what is the percentage of absorption and ask them to introduce you to some of their students who are placed elsewhere (not there).
