So you landed up with your dream job and thought this is it, but every once in a while something happens that makes you realize life as a professional is quite capable of sucking at times. These are some of those realizations that everybody faces at an early stage of employment. Give a read, and be assured you're not the only one.

7. Being the 'Late-comer' is no more considered cool.

So may be you had practised the cliched art of walking late into the class with the star body language where everyone used to turn their heads around to see you walk till your seat. But just you pray not to get late by even a few minutes in office. Salary cuts, negative attention and chances are they will use it against you when recession strikes.

8. Home-Work in school and college was just a preparation for the unpaid overtime at work.

The cherished memories of homework and pulling group all nighters to finish assignments now visit you often when all you have is a cup of coffee and some vacant seats around while you are working over time to complete your task before deadline. Tsk tsk, too much this is, really!
