☎️ THANK YOU FOR CALLING..... My #WorkFromHome Personal Story

 Love your job but don’t love your company, because you may not know when your company stops loving you

.

There’s an old quote by Abdul Kalam that has always stuck with me: “Love your job but don’t love your company, because you may not know when your company stops loving you.” As an adult juggling the pressures of career, responsibilities, and personal growth, I often reflect on this. At first, it seemed like a bitter truth. The harsh reality of corporate life hits differently when you're climbing that endless ladder, and suddenly, everything stops making sense. But as the years pass, and I’ve come to face the ever-changing tides of this pandemic, I realize how true his words are in certain aspects. The key, however, lies not in the company, but in how much you genuinely love what you do.

I’ve come to understand that when you love your job, it loves you back. Maybe not in the same way you expect, but in subtle ways that matter: the colleagues who genuinely appreciate your work, the clients who trust your skills, the sense of accomplishment after a well-executed project. In the end, the company may not always return the love, but the people around you certainly will. In a corporate ecosystem, it’s all about mutualism. You give something of value, and the world gives it back. We all want to feel that sense of worth and contribution, especially when we're putting in the effort day after day.

The pandemic, in its chaotic nature, acted as a reset button for me. Being forced to work from home brought moments of reflection, forcing me to reassess my relationship with work, success, and gratitude. Initially, I was fearful, uncertain, and overwhelmed. But now, as I sit in the comfort of my home office, I’ve learned to appreciate the stability and opportunities my company has provided during such trying times. Sure, Abdul Kalam’s quote has merit, but I’m thankful that my company managed to weather the storm with us. Through it all, the resources were there to help us keep afloat, even when everything else seemed unstable.

As an employee, I don’t owe “Thank You” in the traditional sense. The best gratitude I can give is to do my job well — with self-discipline, with focus, and with integrity. No matter how big or small the task, that’s my way of showing appreciation. In a world where many things are uncertain, the one thing I can control is my performance and attitude toward work. So here I am, making the most of what I have, executing my tasks to the best of my ability, and silently giving thanks through my dedication. After all, our livelihoods depend on the efforts we put in. And for that, I am truly grateful.
