The Break-Bulk exercise...

My memory dates back, not too many days back. It was the 29th of July. We joined our first company after our MBA. We were the first batch of Sales Trainees; 5 of us in all. Coming from 2 different institutes. I was the only one from mine. But it hardly took me any time to gel with the other 4. Abhi, Ammu, Shwets and Pams. I still remember the way we made a presentation. We had to prepare an entire MARKETING MIX for a product. We took a fresh juice chain and named our product "POMMY FRESH".

We had our NHO together. We cracked jokes all the time. Thought, time in the new company will be so good that we will never have a dull moment. After a month of good time together, we moved to different locations for field training. This time, we knew. That we wont be spending the same good time again. Or even if we do, it will be only for a brief period. But the short period was shorter than I expected. I took one and half month more than others to join back the group from my training. After that, things changed for the company. And we started to fall apart..

2 out of 5 are already on their way out. The future course of action for the remaining 3 might be on the similar lines... We are parting ways as if we are influenced by our company's product - "Break-Bulk Express".

I HOPE THAT MORE STABILITY IS FOUND IN OUR NEXT VENTURES...

ALL THE BEST TO ALL THE 5...
