| Firing Bai- Part 3 ( Concluding ) |
| Monday, April 28, 2008 |
If not read Part 1 and Part 2 - read first.
The Title could have been changed to "Hiring Bai", but for the sake of serializability.
This is an year since we hired Pummy and a month less than an year since he deserted us. I remember the time when kitchen's basin was full of vessels with algaes and amoebas mutating there, the black garbage polyethene bag filled, tied and lined up, squalor undergoing metamorphosis and solid wastes converting to liquid- seeping through slowly, the curtains didn't move because of the weight of dust settled over them.
Pummy left us for a couple in Koregaon Park, the place has a better offering in terms of urbane exposure, amount of work, perks of witnessing foreigners and Indi-foreigners. I have heard he is Rajnish Osho devout now.
Job patterns and employee satisfaction studies show that people in IT industry(more of services than product) and Bais/servants(All services) don't usually go the full distance. Folks turn to philanthropy, religion, environment, NGO to cleanse their soul. Pummy added just another dimension opening a few ignorant eyes.
A lot has changed from then to now. I have shifted from Pune to Mumbai and now Bangalore.
A lot have changed, my roomies, my job, my lifestyle. What hadn't change is the legacy of Bais.
All the honorary members of "Bai Association, Bangalore" can still be fitted into the categories of Patli and Moti.
Bais here are more professional, rarely suspectible to exploitation and extremely aware of market trends and demands. Working model remains FP/FT and any new changes has to follow a change request procedure. They catch spikes in workload pattern very easily, performs the DAR/TARs ,drill downs to rootcause and delivers the verdict - " Bhaiya,, Bahot log aate hai aapke yaha,Mere ko nahi jamta". - CMMI- L5 compliant.
They command a more respectable and better calling name- "Bua". My mom still is not happy be it "Bai" or "Bua".
The Search begins:
I informed my friends about the current opening and the requirements. Got in touch with a few. A couple of potential match googlied me and took a reverse interview and take that -"On Phone". I could n't fire because they declined.
Association works here on horizontal geographical divisions as well as business verticals.
There's a fixed set of Bais- errr,, Buas for particular locality. Their vertical slice includes doctrine of very objective roles/responsibility.
"Jhadu daily, Pocha alternate days,Vessels cleaning, gas cleaning, and washing clothes twice a week. Quantitavely. Clothes to be soaked night before and no hiding of the brush.
Awesome, No room for vague and ambiguous compromises.
Sunday holidays are unwavering. Careful trend analysis done by them. After all, don't Saturday night parties render Sunday the toughest day for cleaners..
Cook-Bais have better renumerations and perks.Their geographical compass is larger and they work non-chalantly. Man and woman employees ratio is encouraging. I hired "Oriya-male-bai", who uses bicycle to commute, sports long manes, carries a pink comb, possesses an adidas sandal. He is doing savings for a Luna/Moped to cater to distant career opportunities that I have informed/promised him of.
He does little trantrum except that he loves to see "Sa Re Ga Ma" /"Antaksharis" and has a GF. I just have to ensure I don’t switch to these channels at wrong time at wrong volumes. He has a KolKatan girlfriend staying in adjacent district and visits her every weekend. If he enters the kitchen with cellphone on ears- I understand and don’t complain, Just prepare myself for a little more Mirch Masala.
