I have coined a new term - "Bhel Puri Consultant".
Its been over 2.5 months since a friend of mine joined a company. He has worked on roughly 5-6 tasks, tasks which are mutually exclusive and collectively 'in'exhaustive. 2 of them have been completed successfully, and the rest are hanging in air.
A Bhel Puri Consultant is one like this, whose work is not defined, whose mandate in the company is not sure to anyone, but the designation is 'Consultant, Marketing Consultant etc.' with perceived meanings. Such profiles are common in extremely small companies, with no sound products, no structure and with no process in flow. After working for a period of time, when you look back, you will notice that your work experience looks like a bhel puri you eat on roadside chat shops. You will not be able to find a connection between the ingredients - all unrelated (and hopefully harmless) edibles are mixed thoroughly till they lose their individual identity.
The only difference between a Bhel Puri Consultant and the recipe which is eaten is this - bhel puri tastes good has a good market value, its a volume game (priced low and sold to large consumers); whereas a Bhel Puri Consultant doesn't taste good, has low market value and his CV goes to the bin.
