Karmanye vadhikaraste in corporate context

In Devnagari:
कर्मण्ये वाधिकारस्ते म फलेषु कदाचना
कर्मफलेह्तुर भुरमा ते संगोस्त्वकर्मानी॥
च २, ४७
In English transliteration:
Karmanye vadhikaraste ma phaleshu kadachna
Karmaphalehtur bhurma te sangostvakarmani.
Ch. 2, 47

In English translation:
You have a right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of action। Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities, and never be attached to not doing your duty.
I am wondering how this statement is applicable in modern corporate world.....if this piece of statement from GITA is implemented in corporate culture, then companies can save enourmous amount of money, effort and time spent on the appraisal process and meetings....and you can see lot of happy faces all around.

Ohhh i do lot of day dreaming these days.....where am i going ?

Dear friend...
Please dont take two lines from Gita and go behind it. To understand the deep meaning of these lines one should learn it properly. Also this is not mantioning about your daytoday Job.

dear friend you are in the deep illusion of misconception...

actually these divine lines just means ...
"You are assigned certain duties and your mean in this world is to only do abide it... and don't feel guilt for what you missed or be overwhlemed and over-proud for what you achieved."

Kahani: FLASH DRIVE ka Flash

Last Tuesday, I woke up in the early hours with a big question in mind - WHERE IS MY FLASH DRIVE.? This flash drive was given to me by my previous company as part of 'On boarding' session. Flash: On Sunday (2 days earlier) I had been to a cyber cafe (since there is no internet connection in my home) and I happened to use my flash drive while I was surfing. I returned home after surfing web for more than 2 hrs and I happily forgot about the flash drive. And now after 3 days, I woke up with this question "where is my pen drive?" @ 5.30 in the morning... I tried searching at home, since there was no power I couldn't find it anywhere.... And I sat there analyzing the whole episode, with a bunch of questions, more like a movie recap, while sleeping. 1. On which machine I was working? And what was the time? 2. How many people would have used the same machine for the next 2 days? 3. How many people used the USB port? 4. If anyone opened the drive, how about the document

Here i am and this is me (as per my zodiac sign Scorpio..)

Scorpio is the eighth Sign of the Zodiac, and you shouldn't take that lightly. You shouldn't take Scorpios lightly, either. Those born under this Sign are dead serious in their mission to learn about others. There's no fluff or chatter for Scorpios, either: these folks will zero in on the essential questions, gleaning the secrets that lie within. Scorpios concern themselves with beginnings and endings, and are unafraid of either; they also travel in a world which is black and white and has little use for gray. The curiosity of Scorpios is immeasurable, which may be why they are such adept investigators. These folks love to probe and know how to get to the bottom of things. The fact that they have a keen sense of intuition certainly helps. It's the Scorpion which symbolizes Scorpios, and it's no accident. Much like the Scorpion would rather kill itself than be killed, those born under this Sign are the ones who are in ultimate control of their destiny. It is life on
