IT: In the community

Very interesting thing happened today. I got an email from my company’s website designer about building “In the community” webpage on our company website. The whole initiative was driven by intention to propagate the company’s contribution to the community and explore the charitable activities done by company employees.

Given the opportunity I did not want to miss the chance to list out my contribution towards the community. Here I was doing my part and believing that company must be doing its part. Friends please find the list of charity done by me:

  1. Working at lower pay then the market standard. Difference in amount is given back to the community.
  2. Working off office hours for no extra pay. Extra pay for this is given back to the charity.
  3. Working for tasks not mentioned in SOW (Statement of Work), for no extra pay. Extra pay for these tasks is given back to the community.
  4. Working alone for 2-3 resources work. Extra pay for other resources is given back to the community.
  5. After doing all the above community service, I have started to believe that I am working for a charitable organization.

If I have missed anything, please add to the list.
