one night at on an i.t. company

so chetan bhagat wrote one night at a call center. not having read that book, and judging the book by its cover, i believe i can surmise it to be a story of a person who works at the call center.

now i imagine, what would be one night in an i.t. company. basically when you are rushing towards a deadline, i.t. folks usually bend their backs to meet them. as if they already weren't, considering the fact that the projects themselves were won on the unrealistic time spans and cheap cost.

come deadlines and you will find the i.t. folks stay back till wee hours of the morn, and most probably successful in meeting the deadlines. i have worked in an i.t. company sometime ago, when we weren't heading towards a deadline. so things were calm. this wasn't the case with the team at the other side of the room. they were for as long as i can remember, working towards mysterious deadlines. and as is the case everywhere, women are let go much earlier than their male counterparts ( this is what i had seen and experienced, not that i have a problem with it) and leave their onus on the folks staying back, adding more to the list.

so to complete this story, one night at an i.t. company is a sausage fest.

cheers,

p.s.: sorry if you had any expectations :P
