Sarkari Naukri (Government Job)

I started my career in the private sector. Even though my boss was nice and relaxed about hitting the targets there was an unspoken competition among my colleagues. If I didn’t perform well, I would be left out. I worked hard sincerely to excel, and when I received appreciation and acknowledgment from my seniors, I felt on top of the world. The healthy competition among colleagues made me feel alive. Although stress was always there but I kind of enjoyed it. It made my life happening.

A few years later, I causally took some government job exams. Surprisingly, I cleared it. My parents and friends were thrilled and told me not to lose this golden opportunity – an excellent salary with lots of benefits, job security, an apartment, and after-retirement benefits.

My first week at my Sarkari job was exciting. Mr.Chada welcomed me along with the other staff. I threw a big party and everyone enjoyed it. They all wanted to be friends with me. 

I continued working hard, as usual, and the boss highly praised me. Suddenly, my colleagues’ behavior changed. Instead of appreciation, I faced criticism and discouragement from my colleagues. I think they were just jealous. Their working style involved delaying tasks and being impolite to the general public and they wanted me to be part of them. 

They started avoiding me, not involving me in group discussions and get-togethers. It became difficult to work in the office. I started having my lunch alone. The working environment was too cold for me. I wanted to leave the job, but what should I tell my family and friends? They would call me a fool and no one would understand my situation.

It is difficult to quit the job and start my life from scratch. I consoled myself I will take an early retirement.
