The Magic word – ‘Issues’
Two points:
1. If you use the word ‘Issues’ a lot or you know how to overuse it or if u can figure out a way to use this word in every second sentence u utter… IT is the place where u should be.
2. An extension of 1 is if most of the times when u use this word it is with keyword ‘no’ like ‘no issues’ then u can become a cool/bindass IT guy/gal.
Few instances to illustrate the use of it:
· u r going for a team lunch and u r deciding on the conveyance and someone asks u if they can come with u… u can reply – ‘No Issues’.
· Someone asks u for help with the code and wat to reply – ‘No Issues… I’ll help’
· U need help for ur code from someone… how to ask – ‘I have a few issues… can u help?’
· U r in a meeting to discuss few things… these things can be termed as ‘Issues’ and u can end the meeting as ‘I hope we have no more Issues’ (This is to be a cool IT guy/gal)
There r many more I can list here but I m not doing so…. but believe me this is the magic word in the IT world
When I had sent my resignation mail, I was expecting a reply stating ‘no issues’ and the reply I got was ‘Sure’ but I have ‘no issues’ ;)

Issues is like the wildcard in the Indian IT industry. one has to consciously make an effort not to be afflicted by this obssessive compulsive 'issue'-substitutes-all words-in-english disorder. But can you escape the epidemic?
In the canteen:
ITRAJU_1:" Hey Murali can you pass me a tissue"
ITRAJU_2 " Sorry Sreeni no tissues here. "
ITRAJU_1 " Oh dont worry .no issues"
yeah ..'no issues'.. takes me back in time to my IT days .. :) and especially those goddamn morning calls.. where every second sentence(or is it a phrase?) is 'no issues'! you half expect people to say 'no issues' even when you say 'good morning'!
resignation!!!!

I had written a post about my resignation thing. Never posted it though. It was a similar experience as yours.
Even I had no issue. ;)
