    Organizational movements and associated pain !

    So I move on to a new role within the same organization. Agreed, totally different role and disassociated with my present job I am surprized (and not shocked) to come across the pain I am experiencing while moving within the system.
     
    I remember reading Plato's writings on social organizations (at that time the concept of Multi-national corporations was non-existent) and as these organizations grow in size across geographies people in such complex social structures will come across problems that are clearly avoidable but the inflated system in itself is responsible for all the inherit problems.
     
    Take for example my own movement, I have to surrender everything my present organization gave to me (When I joined close to around two years back) and now although theres a physical and logical change in geography I will have to run through the same pain all over again. Things as small as bank accounts, corporate credit card, cell-phone connectivity, etc.. the list is endless. The more and more organizations talk about the so called 'seamless' experience to employees while they navigate roles the more complex these structures are shaping up. This certainly is undesirable (in my opinion) and needs fundamental changes in workflow arrangement
     
    Enough, I have to go and apply afresh for a prescribed check list of services I would need irrespective of me staying the system for all these months. Experience as if I am joining a different company!
