Hi All,
Thanks a lot! I already told my director to set up a meeting with all of us and clarify our work responsibilities. The director informed my manager, but he said he doesn't have time for these nonsensical things. I will try again. Overall, in my company, we have two sections: commercial, which includes Dispatch, Stores, Finance, and HR. Technical team members are open to these changes, but commercial members are resistant. The main issue is the age gap; all these individuals are older, while I am much younger (23 yrs). They have been here for a minimum of 5 years, and they believe accepting these changes would make me their superior. They prefer that I follow their lead rather than the other way around. They tend to argue over trivial matters such as housekeeping, equipment changes, parking adjustments, and other minor issues. They do not engage in any staff activities. Initially, I used to confront them and handle it, but now I lack the energy. I am not organizing any activities, publishing newsletters, updating notice boards, etc. They give me orders without proper explanation, instructing me to follow without questioning. I have been feeling depressed for the past month. I even took a 3-day break to refresh, but I am struggling to find the positive energy to deal with them. I feel drained daily, experiencing headaches and irritation. I have isolated myself, stopped laughing, and ceased organizing Friday fun days. Last week, my colleagues invited me out, but I declined. This situation is the worst in my life. I considered sharing this with my director but hesitated, fearing his opinion. I acknowledge my role in this negative environment and am unsure how to overcome this depression. I am contemplating seeking help from a psychologist. For the past 3 months, I have been trying to manage and hoping for acceptance in my work. I am typically a charming person but struggle with office politics. It has been 5 months now, and I feel like I am sacrificing my career. I have spent around 155 days in limbo. I question if I am on the right path. I have been away from my family for 2 years solely for my career. I wanted to support them and others, but I feel like I have wasted 5 months. I miss my family but can't express it. Yesterday, I joined a group, perhaps guided by a higher power like Shiva, and found good friends and mentors. Today, a colleague inexplicably shouted at me. I have always been polite, but I am neither able to hate nor love them. I feel like giving up, unable to progress in my career, engage in social activities, make my family happy, or even meet them. I am lost and unsure of what to do. Everything seems to rely on Shiva. I have contemplated if I am at fault somewhere and struggle to self-evaluate. Perhaps, I need to change my nature, but I am not there yet.

I am the 1st Her manager in this company. All are male members here. I am the only female on staff. My pay is around the same as theirs. My qualification is MBA in HR, and no doubt I have very good knowledge and experience than them. I used to publish a newsletter every Tuesday. I organized activities like Friday Fund where anybody can join us, sing songs, bhajans, and share their experience at lunchtime. Activities include "Saturday is black day," "Funky day," Wednesday is white day, where everybody will be in the same dress. For example, on Saturday, everybody will wear a black dress. I used to organize staff lunches and during lunchtime used to organize some quizzes with basic questions like leave procedure, advance procedure, employee reference scheme, etc. I only started this scheme and successfully got 30 workers when we had absenteeism around 50%. After a very long time, I am the one who joined there as their competitor; otherwise, everybody used to follow them. They are very biased people; they will enjoy all the facilities but never let others use them, they always use rough language towards others. I feel everybody has self-respect, and we should not hurt them; we can talk politely.

For example, I will share 2 trackers. I myself took initiative to manage a track record for safety items. I made a tracker and sent it to them. But now they sent me another one to update, and didn't tell me what was wrong in the 1st tracker which I offered.

Dear Pooja,
There is nothing wrong with your format. In stock out, you are mentioning all departments. My suggestion would be to specifically mention which department you are giving how much instead of listing all departments. This way, you can track month-wise consumption in each department.

Request you to share these formats with me. I have done Manpower planning and have the manpower planning format and requisition format, which I have attached. But please share yours as well, maybe I need more changes. Please share all other formats because, till date, I have not done that. Thanks a lot.

Hi Pooja,
Kindly read the below message by Dr. Gopalakrishanan Tata Sons.
A lot of people leave their organizations because they are 'unhappy'. What is this so-called unhappiness? I have been working for donkey years, and there has never been a day when I am not unhappy about something in my work environment - boss, rude colleagues, fussy clients, etc.
Unhappiness in a workplace, to a large extent, is transient. If you look hard enough, there is always something to be unhappy about. But, more importantly, do I come to work to be "happy" in the truest sense? If I think hard, the answer is "No". Happiness is something you find with family, friends, maybe a close circle of colleagues who have become friends. What you come to work for is to earn, build a reputation, satisfy your ambitions, be appreciated for your work ethics, face challenges, and get the job done.
"Deserve before you desire."
Regards,
Anand

Dear Pooja,
It seems like you are facing a difficult situation. However, please note that as a newcomer, you may experience the same kind of situation in your next jobs as well. Remember that resistance is everywhere. Therefore, I would like to encourage you to be strong and patient. If you are doing your best in line with your job description, you have every reason to remain strong, but ensure you are also polite and patient. If you genuinely feel that this place is not the right fit for you, then you can consider exploring other opportunities. In the meantime, please remember that this job could still be the best option for you at the moment.

Dear Pooja,
In my opinion, take it as a challenge and face it. An HR manager should have the capability to see and address all problems. Don't worry; all problems must have a solution. This type of problem will help you build your career and strengthen your mind. Best wishes, my dear.
