Its quite funny, the way human nature is. When somebody expresses interest, and that too eagerly, most people love to dangle that person like a prawn stuck on a fishing rod. Take for example a girl interested in a boy or vice versa. There will be a meaningless chase involved till the one interested is reduced to his/her knees. Likewise if a candidate is really keen on a company, the HR leads the person on a nice merry chase, trying to literally starve the candidate for attention.
Interestingly, I have always noticed in professional scenarios, the relevant department is usually prompt, however the HR ponders over matters for days on end and delays the process citing numerous excuses which many a times seem fake.
And people think keeping the opposite party on tenterhooks is what keeps the excitement on and elevates their importance. Quite the contrary, if you ask me.
Honestly, it's disgusting and unprofessional to unnecessarily needle the interested one either professionally or personally. Actually shows lack of competence and promptness in decision making.

it is the selfishness of the human behaviour and it is also observed that someone else's interest in the absence of 'our own interest' seems meaningless and sometimes even worthless..... In case of professional situation it may be annoying but in a personal relation it sometimes becomes a source of depth in the relation and enjoyable as well.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the way you tried to co-relate the personal and professional scenarios to make it more communicative and lively.
I guess you make sense SB. Though in today's world it is important for people to adopt a forthright attitude personally and professionally. Would make everyone's life so much more easier, given the over-complicated lives we all seem to lead in today's busy busy world.
ReplyDeleteThanks for leaving a comment :) I'm glad you like the co-relation.
