Triangle or Box.. Its a Triangle in a BOX

We were having a casual conversation when this topic came up, Employement. How getting jobs was difficult. How does one sustain his position and why it has become so difficult to get a job today without stepping into some one else's space.

People have a misconception that there are no openings left for growing population of the country. To land a decent job one needs to use wrong ways or step onto someone's shoe. But I do not agree to this. I do not see the growing population to be a threath but this mentality of people which may one day indeed make people jobless.

The entire industry, whichever it may be, works on the triangle in a box effect. You must have heard a lot about the triangle and the inverted traingle but I totally defy it. Instead I belive in the triangle in a box scenario.

As you see the traingle it has a broad base and starts tapering at the top. The reason why people find it difficult to get jobs is becoz every one wants to be at the level which I refer to as the base of the triangle. No one ever tries to grow and get a job at levels above the base.

The misconception that people have is that according to the triangle effect its difficult to get jobs at higher level or grow as there are lesser jobs up there due to the tappering behaviour. Thats because they see it as just a triangle.

The reason why it has become a triangle is due to the lack of confidence people have and they dont dare nor dream. People do not want to skip levels and try for the next step above them. Hence there is a shortage of people at the top which has made it a triangle.

However the fact is that there is equivalent vacant space at the top, same as the base of the traingle of which only a tip has been used up. If you look at the situation now you will realise that its a triangle within the box. A traingle which shudn't be existing. A triangle which has the potential to be a complete box if we change our mindsets and dare to grow and climb the ladder.

There is sufficient space at the top which is being wasted not because tapering but because no one wants to reach to it.
