Arbeit macht frei

We shifted... finally. Our new work place is DLF Cybercity or something. Boy is it huge or what, it's a building still under construction. With just few of the zones which are functional, I'm at the 4th Zone 5th Floor and it's got like 2 levels of parking beneath what is already built and what's being built. Huge, I'm not sure on how the other floors are modeled, but my floor is modeled in the typical Nazi format, there are these huge floors which are divided into bays, huge bays. I mean it's bigger than Cyberspace or Gateway, the workstations are modeled similar to the 'Chicken Coop' in Gateway but with a different color scheme.

It's a bit crowed, but only when you compare it with the workplace in foreign countries, I've been to Germany for a month and the place I used to walk to everyday was a proper room. A very huge room. With just 4 seats, 4 telephones, and 4 workstations. You never get a feeling that there is a guy next to you, that you can hear him breathing. Here at DLF you get a feeling that it's like a IT Concentration camp when you find your way to the Cafeteria. It's a very sad sight, very few tables not enough to seat even the strength of one floor. Not sure whether it was was planned in a bit of a hurry or was it not planned at all. The other thing that I miss about my old workplaces is that if you felt the food in office was no great then, there were options once you cross the road outside office. We do miss that here in DLF there's no alternate source of food. The ones that are there are real far from office.

Maybe once the whole building is complete, there would be a common food court or something that would be planned. But that's going to take some time, and by that time we might shift to another building. Coming to think of it, with the number of times my team have shifted our office, I think this is the senior management way of bringing 'change' to the work experience in our project.
