Things the show is getting wrong about the work place

(Shakes head). They had such a good start too, with Rads' daddy asking about salary and PF and all that fun stuff😆.

1) People cannot be hired on the spot regardless of company's image if they are not qualified. Mrs Khanna could have fired her daughter (although that would have brought legal problems still) for giving an invalid job offer. How does she know the girl is not a psychopath or a thief or a corporate spy? What about resumes and references and background checks?😲

2) CEO is not King (or Queen). NO ONE announces an important position like that of Creative Director at an internal presentation. Generally these things go through a Board of Directors, if the position is high enough.

3) What Arjun did would make him criminally liable (as he really admits to stalking her) and as it appears he knew she will be a subordinate, BS would be liable right along with him. At this point, Sam could sue both BS and Arjun and end up with BOTH assets😆

4) There is no serious ad agency which will use its own creatives as models. First of all, they are not professionals. Secondly, work environment goes caput. Thirdly, again that pesky problem of female employees being able to sue the company for Neanderthal behavior 😆

5) Operations and Core activity are mostly kept separate in big organizations. Arjun as COO (I think) would have NOTHING to do with the creative side of things. He definitely would not get to decide on who their model will be😲😆

6) The C suite would be so far above the reach of interns that they might as well be from different planets. Unless the intern is Monica Lewinsky, there is no chance of romancing the boss😆

7) The C suite is usually occupied by middle aged people unless company is baap ka maal. Not handsome young men😆

Feel free to add.

Hehehe totally agree with u on all points! Great post! N yeah unless u r boss's PA, no other level employee other than top level management can hv access to the COO,CEO, etc! There is an official hierarchy for God's sake! Forget an intern actually getting a chance to have a word with them... it mostly starts n finishes with gudmrng n gudevngs... N get nods in return...

I actually watch Mad Men which is also about an ad agency. The boss's secretary is actually a talented writer and the boss gives her a chance to write copy. She is a serious competitor now😊
But that at least made sense. He knew her to begin with!

Exactly! Boss's PA is the only exception to management hierarchy...

i was thinking the same thing. m still not convinced the way radhika got the job
and coming to arjun
ceo coo posts ppl are very experinced like samrat.. arjun gettng the post was really not digestable. is he so rich?? 😕
how can he get it easily and piyali didnot even inquire about him.. she ll get backstabbed soon as shapan told her to ask samrat about it befr hiring but now looks like piyali can go to any extent to bring bs in no 1 position.
as sam being the model i think she can definately refuse that she doesnot want to be. i hope she does

Also Neil telling the girls that they can each attempt to catch the boss's eye😆
He would have been in so much hot water for that! 😆 What is his new job description? I would suggest a job title for him after his recommendation to the ladies, but I think that word is banned on IF😆

What exactly is Radhika's position in the company. She keeps dropping lines like "In six months I want to fly as high as possible' - Has she even discussed this 6 months situation with Mrs. Khanna? Which organization actually allows newcomers to work for six months and bid adieu, unless the employee is hired for that time period? Aren't there contracts, which new employee's r supposed to sign.

Other than the tag line, R provided, does BS know, if she is qualified to work in their Company?
