This is the trip of lifetime
The trip to Japan
I visited Japan for a week long trip. My school friend commented that I was too casual in packing things to Japan. The trip was a big eye opener in my life. I really loved the developed country and it was a learning as soon as I landed there.
All I did in the week was to observe people and work. If I need to communicate something I had my boss to interpret for me :)
The office was looking too old but the 'proving ground' was rocking. It was with banking and cars can fly at 200 km/h or more. It is the best testing place I have been.
Well the important learning was the about the Job. How the same work which is done at Japan is done (oops messed up) at India .
The office was very silent though it was packed with people , unlike my office which will be like a fish market sometimes.
Each and everybody is alloted the definete job, planned work and work is made simple. The best part is there is definite procedure in which each and every job has to be done and is done the same way. "Each time every time and flawless". And yes to cap it all, they are technically very very strong.
Do you know how I was working?
A bit of job 6 people were doing at Japan.
And hence every thing, is not perfect, incomplete and in hurry.
We also do planning but it never worked.
We also have procedures in written but its clause keeps changing with respect to time, boss and whether the person is willing to do.
Well that was the first time I felt very bad, about my working at India.
The next was when my senior returned from Japan after learning their testing methods. He tried very hard to teach people to work on specific way, but nothing worked.
That is the same case with all my seniors, some give a push for 3 months some 6 months but later everyone changes to Indian style.
In fact they were frustrated after learning the Japanese systems and may be this is the reason why even after 25 years of collaboration things do not change here. Each department fighting with each other!!!!
I think my Japan trip is my life changer. (As I started to fight with my boss or anyone who just makes testing standard in air and on the spot)
Seriously the Japs are great, I have a special respect (Indians are too below their standards) for their way of life. (simple and loving!!!!). They are patient and the repetition in testing or experimenting with things is on very higher scale which a few at India also follow.
To put it in one line, "Japs are like monkeys and Indians are donkeys" A famous quote in our working area. he he :)
