User Experience in the Software Industry.

Recently i was referring to the video on the post in NYTimes about Herbert Kelleher as he was stepping down from the Chairman of South West Airlines. In his talk in the annual meet of all the shareholders and employees present there, he mentions a very strong of an argument. He says "You have to treat your employees like customers", which clearly indicates the role of the employer - employee relationship in an industry for this case say Software Industry, when u treat ur employees the right way they treat the end customer the correct way. Developing the User Interface for that matter is something that is more of, "how creative" or say "thinking out of Box" kinda task. In an industry where a lot depends on how your client is easy handling a software(or some sci fi tech that u think u have developed), i suppose employee satisfaction is the key towards making it sell better. The moral of the story has been that creating a better client experience is all about creating on first hand a very good employee experience.

all set for GOA !

Finally its the time after all the hard work and dedication that my thing is getting recognized in the firm.
people all around me have already started boasting about what i have been doing here at Feast. It has been a good experience and all through a very friendly environment in the firm. My team is happy and thats an achievement to cherish. People getting drunk and saluting me is a good thing i suppose. All credits go to the boss for believing me. after the meeting with one of our VC's i shall be surely expecting a big hike in the pay. after all i got them a Govt Tender and beyond what i thought its going to be a Software that shall be incorporated in the syllabus as per the Educational board, Maharashtra. A trip to Goa with my team is surely a good incentive and a trip after that to IIT Kanpur is an add on as per me. I shall be leaving for the coast on 22nd of this month and the next week is surely going to be a vacation time for me.

for all these good times .. cheers again for bloging and the end of the world concept.

GOA Trip next month.

Well there have been plans emerging about a possible Goa trip in the next month at the firm. Lods of people are enthu about it. I shall be hanging around for a company. Hope i can find some good chick in goa also abundance of maal in the place is going to be a good thing to go for. cant think of a way how to propose some one in the office about it on the trip though but shall give it a try for sure.
This time its going to be Tito's pub that shall be the main theme of attraction in Goa. Last time couldn't visit it with my pals. But this time its for sure that i am going to go for it no matter how much it takes.

Shall post about hte trip and my adventures of the fourth kind in my subsequent posts.

feast for me ... :P

back again at work in the office i sometimes think about all the stupid gals around me at the workspace. One of them thinks she is a stud singer of some sort ... and cries around whenever given a chance. One of them never stops boasting of her virtues and beauties and bla-bla-bla ... What work meant in my dreams what certainly far away from this thing at least. Spending my most of the time coding for bosses and being a team leader has not been paying off good in terms of work environment in the office. So may be I must start thinking of shifting to a better place around in Bangalore or something like that. At least to find a better crowd of people around.
Talking about the boss dude he is pretty kewl and so never comes down to the office. Being an IITian is actually a bane sometimes cos you tend to forget the social framework and the funda of clock and timing. May be thats the case with me too :P
People have been crying from their first day about how bad their job is and that made me feel a bit uncomfortable sometimes. Well all this has been happening to me too for sometime now and now i know how they must be feeling from like six months being there, helpless and alone. I started complaining about the routine office shit on this article for the reason that i speak my mind here and if i didn't write it here then may be i wouldn't have felt better. Lets hope something works out pretty soon and may be i could find some thing good at my job to handle. Whats your opinion in this regard ?
