When I was chosen for the
employment in the bank where I am working now, at that time although I was not
satisfied enough, yet there was a feeling that I have achieved something. This
feeling of achievement was enhanced when I got to meet my batch mates. They all
were very excited and enthusiastic about the job and the organization to which
they are going to be a part of.
The training period, atmosphere,
the learning process everything was great. We were given the detailed demonstration
regarding the job. The first shock we were given was the knowledge of being
restricted to the cash department, yet being the main department of the bank it
was a great opportunity to learn and grasp the functionality of the life blood
of the bank. However, this was a bearable trauma until we were unaware from our
posting branches.
The whole training process which
on one side was full of informative guidelines and procedures showing us how to
work on the other side was seemed to be based on the terror lectures and scary
tails regarding the cash department which scared us a lot. The result which we
were told in case of cash excess or shortage was enough to terrorize us. Anyhow
we all completed the training process being totally unaware of the fact that
the last and the final bomb was waiting for us.
The last day of training we were
supposed to be given our posting letters. My teachers told me that you are the
lucky one with other two guys to be posted in Islamic banking group. Oh my
God!! Good news transformed in the bad
news as per my perception touched with the waves of my brain. Nah, no please!!!
I am not Islamic type…. I can’t be like the girls in that group,,,, they are
pathetic people, rigid mentality, confined to their rigid beliefs, who mix
there culture and religion together and show attitude and rigidity, who don’t
listen to others just say and do whatever they want. Ahhh!!! No please.
This was my reaction when I got
my letter of posting. But when I get into the field and encountered with the
people working there, all this opened my eyes. I got to know they are more modernized
and liberal in their own shells and these are for their own protection. There
is a huge difference between what we perceive and what they really are. The consolation
of my teachers became a truthful reality when I compared myself with the other
batch mates posted in different groups. A sigh of relief came out….
No doubt, the nature of the job
is tough and requires more attention but I feel there is more scope in the job
apart from the assigned one until I get the other oneJ.
