Hi Poonam,
I came to understand that you peoples always misunderstand with your boss and also you should think to solve the problem why its happend like this.
What i think from you is that, if you are strong in employee relation then he is ultimately depend on you only, so you have to improve a lot in HR relations and practices then after he will be realise that you are a very good employee in handling employee relation. :icon7:

Hi Badlu,
Thanks for ur reponse.
Iam not recruited as assistant. Iam a independant HR handling whole HR Functions and i have exp of more then 6yrs and handled employee relations for more then 4yrs.
Problem is with director only. he doesnt like my growth in organisation and he wants to handle my role.
Otherthen my director everybody is happy in my decision making and the way of handling people.
Don't underestimate anybody.

First mistake an individual makes is that he/she try to repulse any insecurity or threat encountred, and makes a opinion or draws boundries with that.
Which leads to isolation and low morale.
Similar case is with both of you, your director as well with you.
You need to convince your boss and ensure him that you are strengthning his position with your expertise,Parallely you need to coordinate with others too.
Leaving on the faces of difficulties will make you weak for your future assignments,Whatever may be the consequences try to learn and improve..

Dear Poonam,
First and foremost, you should not think of leaving your job. Once you start doing this, it will be an endless affair in your career. Rather than being too senti, please look for reasons as to why your boss is not permitting you to handle. May be, you are yet to win his confidence. Therefore, show committment and work hard. Give good suggestions but do not expect that they should be implemented. Don't loose your heart if your suggestions are thrown in dust bin. You need to wear the professional garb while handling HR function. Please also understand that in a recession, all functions leading to development will be halted. For example, research and development, training and development, human resources development etc. Staff utilisation will be restructured and more importance will be given to production, marketing etc.,
The employment scenario currently do not provide for any risky decision (if you need a job most). You need to show patience, committment, hardwork and above all, value to your employer. Value giving is important in a crisis situation. Globally, most of the organisations are like this. Individual preferences will override procedural norms.
For a minute, put yourself into the shoes of your boss. You wear a different hat and your thinking will entirely change. And finally, one small suggestion. When you are driven by emotions, do not take any decision but drink a glass of cold water. The water will chill your heated blood and brain.
All the Best.

Hi,
At this jucnture where the market is really bad and projected to go even worse, my advise wud be not leave your current job even if you have an offer at your hand. Bcos, during layoffs, ppl recently joined wud be mainly targeted untill and unless they position is very very important.

Hi,
Option 1: HR even at very senior level too can't always be considered as strategic role. Line Managers will get an upper hand and in India still HR has a 'supporting function' image. When Business Heads order to hire, HR will perform. When business forecasting fails, HR can expect another order - retrench employees. Here as HR folks can't act as empathetic to people those who are going to loose jobs...your job is to support business. Similarly please don't expect CEO will consult you for HR issues ( eventhough CEO is not good in HR or IR) always. Another aspect of your issue can be lack of confidence in your abilities. So what I am suggesting is to focus on your activities and try to give the best output and let your CEO feel that ' Ok this guy can handle this'
Option 2: If you are really not comfortable in such a position, quit the job and face the challenge in finding your dream job

Dear Poonam,
You have not mentioned your post/profile in the conversation. Don't take it otherwise.
The profile & powers of a director do not involve forwarding all the matters related/not related to you. being in executive cadre profile & upto Asst. Manager profile, one cannot expect that every information shall be passed to him/her from their Reporting officer/HOD/Directors. Don't you think so that you are expecting something which is next to impossible. Why a director shall pass on every message to you.
Instead try to frame a policy were everything is forwarded by you, to your director. Everything comes to you first & then it is forwarded to the director along with your comments & suggestion. You have to try hard & convince your director that you are working as a assistant to him, so he must utilise your services & by doing this he is maintaining his hiearchy & dignity. Everything related to HR shall be forwarded to you by all the employees, so that the director is less burdened & has sufficient time to get involve in productive tasks.
Also the same scenerio is created by the experienced officers to know your Toleration level & how you react to the situation. Hence, My suggestion is dont get frustrated & aggresive. Keep calm & dont react to the situation. Everything becomes normal after some time. I can talk a lot on this, but I dont have time. I shall get back to you some other day.
Don't leave the job. Stick to it. Wait for normalisation. Be calm with the Director. Always talk to him with a relaxed face with smile, as if you dont care & do have sufficient expertise to handle the situation & undue pressure.
With Best Wishes
