The Story of SOMETHING LIKE THAT

The quote SOMETHING LIKE THAT, I think nobody will forget, who ever worked in my company, because it is the favorite quote of our BOSS and they have heard hell a lot of time. There are lot of memorable incidents he used his quote SOMETHING LIKE THAT. Here are two such incidents.

Our corporate office is in US and we are in our India offshore delivery center, while working on a project here we faced a major problem and we called the Project Manager there (In US). You know there are 12 Hour time difference between India and US, so we are making this call at stark mid night as per US timings, and BOSS was making the call, the call connected to the Project Manger’s Home number and the Fist Question from after Hello from our BOSS was “ Hi ….. ARE YOU SLEEPING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT ?..”. Very nice question to ask to a person in the middle of the night. Isn’t it ?. PM was a gentleman, so we are lucky we didn’t hear any abusing words from him. “The call was on Speaker Phone”

Another Historical event that only a dumb ass can tell. We got a new senior project member joined from Bangalore after a weeks time he was going back to Bangalore for his personal matters, our boss said “ (Persons Name) NEXT TIME WHEN YOU ARE COMING WHY CAN’T YOU BRING YOUR WIFE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT”

He too was a nice fellow, this time also he is safe.
