Nice post. BTW, any idea when and where NRN delivered this speech.
Following is excerpt from another mail by NRN which had been widely circulated.

Hope you enjoy reading it.

To: Dear All,

It’s half past 8 in the office but the lights are still on… PCs still
running, coffee machines still buzzing… and who’s at work? Most of them???
Take a closer look… All or most specimens are??-something male species of
the human race…Look closer… again all or most of them are bachelors…
and why are they sitting late? Working hard? No way!!!
Any guesses???
Let’s ask one of them…
Here’s what he says… “What’s there 2 do after going home… here we get to
surf, AC, phone, food, coffee… that is why I am working late…importantly
no bossssssss!! !!!!!!!!!
This is the scene in most research centers and software companies and other
off-shore offices. Bachelors “time-passing” during late hours in the office
just bcoz they say they’ve nothing else to do… Now what r the
consequences. .. read on…

“Working”(for the record only) late hours soon becomes part of the institute
or company culture. With bosses more than eager to provide support to those
“working” late in the form of taxi vouchers, food vouchers and of course
good feedback,(oh, he’s a hard worker… goes home only to change..!!). They
aren’t helping things too… To hell with bosses who don’t understand the
difference between “sitting” late and “working” late!!! Very soon, the boss
starts expecting all employees to put in extra working hours.

So, my dear Bachelors let me tell you, life changes when u get married and
start having a family… office is no longer a priority, family is… and
that’s when the problem starts… becoz u start having commitments at home
too. For your boss, the earlier “hardworking” guy suddenly seems to become
an “early leaver” even if u leaves an hour after regular time. .. after
doing the same amount of work.
People leaving on time after doing their tasks for the day are labeled as
work-shirkers. ..
Girls who thankfully always (its changing nowadays… though) leave on time
are labeled as “not up to it”. All the while, the bachelors pat their own
backs and carry on “working” not realizing that they r spoiling the work
culture at their own place and never realize that they would have to regret
at one point of time.

So what’s the moral of the story??
Very clear, LEAVE ON TIME!!!
People who regularly sit late in the office don’t know to manage their time.

Never put in extra time “unless really needed”
Don’t stay back un-necessarily and spoil your company work culture which
will in turn cause inconvenience to you and your colleagues.
There are hundred other things to do in the evening…
Learn music…
Learn a foreign language…
Try a sport… TT, cricket….. ….
Importantly Get a girl friend or gal friend, take him/her around town…
