This blog is all about my experiences in the last company. I am not writing it to take out my frustration on anyone, in fact its all about what I feel as I still think that I would have done better. I really want to thank the top management for showing so much of trust in my ability, accepting and appreciating strategies I gave and freedom to speak. In fact, working under the guidance of someone who has been into this industry for over a decade and getting to know her valuable insights, the way she thinks, the way she strategize, the way she plan things out, is something I will always cherish and try to acquire the best I can.
Initial six months, I explored things, made strategies, handled social media projects and every thing went very smoothly. I always wanted to give my level best and prove that I am here to stay and grow.
Everything went so good and I was recognized as the most promising new comer. Believe me, it was unexpected but at the same time, it gave me so much energy and strength to move forward and a psi of relief that management knows how much I am putting in. I was completely motivated to do wonders for the organization as I know myself and I never run away from responsibilities, what may-ever it takes.
I never disclosed it to anyone but I knew this thing that Social Media is not at its best in this company and I joined with the dream to reach the heights and bring this organization to the top at least in Chandigarh when it comes to Social Media Marketing. Me and Pankaj (My Friend) have always put in our best to keep ourselves updated with the latest techniques and trends in Social Media and we know that if we work together, we wont let any organization suffer what so ever it takes then. We got a chance to work together in this organization as well but the journey didn't went the way I perceived.
Were we irresponsible? Or we took things very lightly? Or something else? I still don't know the reason why and where we lack.......
One thing I always wanted to say is the lack of transparency between the top management and the teams. I think, there was a mismatch somewhere in between what client needs and what gets conveyed to the teams or it does not gets communicated at all unless you get some harsh words or pressure from the client side. I still remember the day, where I didn't even know the client name, project name, and I was asked to say yes to every activity which I never did. I did accordingly in the meeting and my experience was:
Client - Are we on Twitter?
Me - Yes
Client - Why are we not doing updates?
Me - We are, but in intervals, not regularly
Client - When you did last?
Me - ........................(No Answer)
Client - Please open the Twitter account
Me - ........................( Don't even know the UN & PSW)
Client - 3 updates in 4 months ( and all 3 were in the very first month)
Client - What you have to say?
Me - ..........................
there were few other questions thrown at me which I don't want to disclose here.
and after this discussion she moved towards the PPC part and then only i got my breath back. All I want to say here is that it takes a lot to get a project in and we need to take it that seriously to make it grow which wasn't the case. I understand that everyone may have put in the best of their efforts at their times and now they are just reaping the benefits of being in that position, no offenses to that, but if we are doing it at the cost of projects, Is it right?
