Which kind of company would you work for Lifestyle or company creating value for all

I am not sure what kind of choices do we have in the present economic scenario, but this question keeps coming back to me.

What kind of company should one opt to work for?

Lifestyle company or a company which stands for creating value for all stakeholders.

I shall try to explain a bit more about the two types of the companies.

Lifestyle Company - A company that is in existence because of may be 1-2 people or a group of small people and can't scale to generate revenue or employment beyond a certain point. They have a limited market and customers. It's good for the promoters and meets their expenses.

Company that creates Value - This may be a company started by a bunch of people, but it has the potential to scale and can generate high revenues ( has almost unlimited scope of scaling) and employment. Each and every person associated, including the society and country, stands to gain from this company.

Modern India has seen many such companies started 2 decades ago and have the names amongst the top players in world. There names are synonymous with product / service they chose to be associated with it.
Don't want to name but almost all the companies that drive the Sensex are these companies.
All the stakeholders ( Promoters / employee / public (by IPO) / society - by the products and country because of either foreign exchange or by recognition in the world) have gained significantly by being associated with these companies.

Some companies although having potential and people choose to be lifestyle company and intentionally decide not to grow. It will have a detrimental impact on your career,if you are unfortunate enough to be associated with this kind of company.

I am not finished yet and will continue.....

Meta Layoffs - WSJ Meta Platforms  Inc.  META  2.11% increase; green up pointing triangle  is planning to begin large-scale layoffs this week, according to people familiar with the matter, in what could be the largest round in a  recent spate of tech job cuts  after the industry’s rapid growth during the pandemic.

The Chronicles of Micromanagement: A Comedy of (Tiny) Errors

Image
Micromanagers: the unsung heroes of the workplace, or perhaps, the unwitting stars of a workplace comedy.    Picture this: you're diligently typing away at your desk, feeling like a productivity ninja, when suddenly, a wild micromanager appears! Cue the dramatic music, because it's about to get hilariously chaotic. Micromanagers, with their eagle eyes and penchant for over-control, have a knack for turning even the simplest tasks into a circus act.  They hover like helicopter parents, ready to swoop in at the slightest deviation from their meticulously outlined plans. Forget autonomy; in their world, every decision requires their stamp of approval, even if it's just choosing which color sticky note to use.  Their emails read like a script from a sitcom: "Did you remember to dot your i's and cross your t's?" "I noticed you used Arial font instead of Times New Roman – please explain." And who could forget the classic, "Can you send me hour...

Navjot Singh Sidhu - India's Next PM ?

Hi All We now will be witnessing one more General Election. Surprisingly enough the two Major national Alliances NDA and UPA (with Major stakeholders being Congress and BJP) are not releasing their Manisfesto. The reason seems to be very simple- they are not sure what would be the equation post election. The alliance partners, based on the seats they won will dictate terms in the coalition or will try to merge with alliance giving them more......you know what every one wants- more ministries. The other question is who should be the PM...Manmohan Singh - already started singing in favor of Rahul Gandhi - "I will do as the Madam Says", Rahul Gandhi, L K Advani, Mayawati. I personally don't think anyone is my candidate for PMs post. The better than all these people will be Navjot Singh Sidhu. Please share you comments and ask your friends colleagues to also throw some light. Best Regards Mandeep Vats www.desidieter.com www.healthji.com
