When I was complaining about work, it was the 3GToday website that I was working on. Looking at the site, its hard to judge the complexityin the technology, architecture and effort behind it. Hats off to all my team members who have been working hard (day and night) to get this up and running. Vinay (our project manager), Lakshmi (who has unfortunately for us has moved on), Aruna, Ramesh, Niladri, Kannan, Ananth, Vinod, Jyoti Ranjan, Pankaj, Sunil, Harisha, Saritha, Saravana Kumar, Mullai and Shyamala (analyst and test lead) form the successful team of which I was a part. This may not have be the best project ever, but given the experiences of people, complexity of technology and the fact that most of them were new, it has been a project of which I am really proud. We also went through a lot of effort in the end, but I must say it was worth it. Though there are senior members in the management who have no regards for the effort of the team members and think a congratulations mail is a formality that everyone has to pass through, I cannot let be stopped from rejoicing. For many of us, even our families had to put up with the erratic schedules. But after everything is said and done, this has been a success story in the organization.
Coming to part of management, if upper middle management is not going to be people oriented, their survival will only lead to the demise of the organization. Today we recieved a mail from one member who thinks a person totally unrelated to our project is the one to be attributed to the success. And this was after he had challenged the teams technical capability and finally mentioned that the delivery was a 'fluke' and only future would tell us how consistent we can be. And none of the members were attributed to the success and all it indicated was the formality of the event of being congratulated. Extremely irritating and left a dirty taste in mouth. For sure this person will never earn my respect even if he does the 'bestest' act in the world. And it also indicates to me the fact that if such members form the part of our top brass, I amy not survive long.
Anyways, I would like to personally thank every member in my team and hope that as we build the site further and fix any bugs that still exist, we'll only taste success. Thanks everyone.
