6/10/2015: Journey from June to October in Qyk comes to an end
It all started well in June , was very happy after getting a prestigious position in a start-up company Qyk. During initial week of work, I took back to back interviews for selecting good candidates. Fortunately, I hired a good bunch of people in my team.
The first week with Reshmi, Kalyan and Prabu I had the wonderful time by different mock session.The mock session was totally based on how to convince the professionals for getting hired on our platform.
Week by week we grew from 5 members to 12 members.By 22nd July,2015 we had 12 members in a team.We started from 0 professionals on 7th June and made it to 9000 professionals till 30th September 2015. After spending a good time in the company, we on-boarded 1500 plus professionals to our platform. We got first appreciation by my manager for doing brilliant and congratulated every members who partake for boarding.That day was very special as I felt mission got accomplished by me and doing my work.
We had a team lunch together which was first and last though by Parived. Parived used to ask me if you are implementing anything just have a thought what may be the actions and reaction. We remember Newton's third Law of Motion "for every action, there is an equal opposite reaction " so I had to consider that aspect also.We used to enjoy our success but he used to ask me how you got success, what new things you did in order to achieve that.What implementation was being taken by your team members? I used to not had clue on that.
But after this, I started analysing the situation and what differently we were doing.I got to understand I have got few people who are pretty smart, intelligent and problem solver of their own.I started digging more into this and found interestingly that few consider this work just as a cake walk for them. Few got indiscipline during their stay in Company. One of the team members started for another company and started misusing office phone for their own work.
Finally, with great effort, we completed engaging our professionals to use our application.We enriched 600 professionals as on date.From last month we have been tested out with different projects like Deal Campaign, Travels and Tours, Packers Movers, Personal Loans and Photography. I was the complete owner of Travels and Tours and was not able to automate the entire process.This was the first time when I was asked to automate the process by applying different formulas.My bad I was unable to do it and felt that I am bad at excel formula.
As it came to me, I have to learn and practice required formulas in excel sheet after getting a suitable job for myself also.As every month starts October also started and I had planned what has to be done for team members and smooth running of entire projects assigned to my team members.
5th October 2015 everything was going on fine because I was getting customer's requirement for travels and tours and was able to learn different formula by then for sending the quote, sending details to professionals etc.Few hours after lunch we got to hear some bad news like team members are getting fired because investors not finding trust on our business model and don't want to invest in the company anymore.
When I heard from Reshmi that few of our team members are getting fired I was shocked and not have any clue what's going on and why they are doing that.They called one by one for having a small discussion regarding this.As time passed three people from the team yesterday were asked to leave.Then, out of shock, my manager called me then I understood my time is also over now.Time has come to pack the bag and leave.
Discussed regarding this with Pared and asked my performance. Parived shared that you were quite disciplined towards your work, target, team management.But yes as time will pass on you will find some more difficulties so take this as the learning experience and move further. I wish you great success. If you want I can recommend your name to my friends for a job reference.He asked me regarding encouraging my team members as they really broke down with this exist.
Finally left Qyk by 6:15 after giving office laptop and some documents.At last met Reshmi, Sultana and Khaiser and told goodbye to them and wished them good luck for their work. Qyk has also given me few good friends like Reshmi, Prabu, Monica, Harsha and Sowmya with whom I can chill and do hangouts.Definitely going to miss them for sure. Hope they have a great future ahead.
Now again I will have to look for team leader position in different other companies which might be the mountain digging task for me.But, I will try my level best from my side.
Great one,.... We are expecting the journey to be continued :)
