A thought ...

While having lunch the other day, the topic of social service cropped up and suddenly a friend popped up a thought that:

"An organization,that even in these recession times, goes to different countries , sets up their base there and recruits local people is doing a nevertheless pretty good job which is no less than a social service."

We all agreed unanimously , with few errant noises here and there made by the over enthusiastic people, that indeed these organizations are doing a noble cause from one point of view.

However the organization in question turned out to be: Al Qaeda

After the usual "Tch Tch" responses we did find out few points in this regard where we started discussing its pros and cons:

1. It not only recruits people with exceptional talent in their fields but even those people who aren't educated and don't find any job. Thereby creating employment.

2. As mentioned it gives job even to local people where it plans to set up its "industry" and expand its business.

3. There are frequent on-site "visits" in place. You might get to go to a new place if you return with "success" from the first visit ;).


4. People recruited are ready to give up their life for the cause. It takes a great deal to perform some work when u are sure that death is eminent and there is no looking back once you get in. The employees are motivated to such an extent that they are ready to lay down their life. Contrast this with a software company, a PM can't even make his sub-ordinates to work till late night consistently. All top management people should be sent to Al-Qaeda to take practice and learn how to motivate people.


Even though we were all joking around with this topic, these points are so true. Only wish that Al-Qaeda had a brain cleaning session and used its resources for a more better outcome.
