Thoodlund (Zero club or Thooodlund shoes as customer known)is famous outdoor shoes and apparels brand with a foreign brand image, though its a Beadonpura,Karolbagh, Delhi based typical 'Desi' company with no work ethics. Owned by a sardar ji with a Lala attitude, employees get harassed every now and then.
HOW?
No work timings-Day at work is normally 12-13 Hrs..(Legally it should be 9 hrs with break). If you ask anybody about timings they will keep mum, Not even senior management can say anything about this.Weekly off not fixed. You won't get holidays on Holi, diwali's etc, not even compensatory off...company is a partnership firm and not a limited company. There are no rules and regulations when it comes to HR.Senior HR managers tried their best but could not do anything.eventually, they left the company when they got opportunity.
If you are a shop manager and you raise such issues, you will get a transfer letter to join at karol bagh shop, owned by another sardar ji, Pimple(name express everything)...nephew of company owner. Once you land in that shop you will come to know why you have been sent there.Its worst then 'Kala paani' ..You will be asked to leave ur mobile phones at the counter, once u r inside shop.Thanks God!! you r not suppose to take of ur clothes there :-)
ASM's- These are bunch of illiterate fools, who are kith and kins of senior management or sardar ji's relative. They can't speak English properly, but try hard to do so...(U can't expect professional attitude from them as they have never worked for any other company before). there pet word is 'Sole ke gulle'..if u can repeat this word 108 times a day, u can join in wooodland aero club as ASM or might get a senior position Lol..(Make sure u continuously eat 'Guthka' ciggerate or any sort of boose)
Eligibility to be an ASM in Thoodlund. You can join in Thoodlund as ASM if you-
1- Can't speak english. 2- Use code language of Palika bazaar, sarojini nagar market, lajpat nagar market viz. solu, chokas, sole paav, swan, poni, dabbi, chava etc.3-eat guthka or can drink on daily basis and shaukin of shabab.(Don't worry u will get reimbursed for that).4- U can sign with some artistic approach (Like we tried when we were kids lol..)5-should not be an MBA or with a professional degree (If ur MBA then u can join as a Shop manager in a 'C' grade shop, u won't get 'A' grade shop as u might become competitor for ur ASM ;-) & then seniors)
EDP (IT department)- Feels like EDP has given all chances to a poor state like orissa. Though people working in EDP are no more Poor. They have earned hell lot of money by repairing computers and sent the bills to the respected shop. Heard that its 40% share in each repair.
When u call them for any software problem, they will blame u for that. After some time u will get a call from Mr manoj nayak( not sure about his correct name) from EDP. He will say-"Mera naam to suna hi hoga"...lol..I heard of Gabbar saying that in 'Sholey'...
DGM/AGM's - Bunch of fools again with some age on (Though their mind work like cunning school kids only).... who does not have any management skills, they are more cunning and diplomat..though they have good harassment skills by asking you to move different stores and once you get into that loop, they will ask you to join somewhere else.
These guys looks gentle and smart from outside (Grass is always greener from otherside) but in reality they are the brain behind the RSM/ASM's . As ASM use there brains(they don't have their own indeed).Also, If u r qualified enough,they will try to get u out of the company, so that there is no threat to them.
Well, the best part is that there are 'informers' in the stores..these are old guys ('Dhabu' in wwdl terms@;-)) working with wooodlund shoes since ages. They will inform about ur activities in the shop...even if u go to toliet, u will get a call from seniors saying..'kahan hai beta' ?? Lol....
If u have seen blockbuster 'sholey' its a role of Hariram nai (Kesto mukherjee) listening to Jai & Veeru ..lol..actually i am a fan of sholey and thats why the comparison is.
Worst part of India to work in Thoodland is East, where u might find the ASM's drunk and taking reports. They stink a lot but u can't help it Lol...
Well, if u have more knowledge of Thoodland, then do share please...atleast those who wanna join in can get a lesson before they jump into mud...The Worst company i ever worked for...Expecting some MNC to take it over so that better work culture can save employees harassment.
