Dear members,
The original post was limited to a query on leave because of prolonged illness and possibility of termination arising thereof. Not many members of this forum are capable to give reply to this query as we do not know the service rules of the public sector bank. If the originator of the query employed in private sector, rules of leave or termination are laid down very well.
This is HR forum and we cannot just restrict the attention to the query alone. When any employee approaches HR to take advice, obviously HR is expected to go little beyond and apprise how the illness can impact the career of the employee. This is how I had felt originator of the query is basking on his illness. It may be noted that members of this forum are not paid consultants so as to affirm what originator of the query asks.
As far as diseases are concerned, let me specify that any disease, whether mental or physical, should be applicable to all types of persons. I exclude from this the occupational diseases that arise out of employment in factory, hotel, BPO etc.
As the originator of the query rebutted my questions on his career rather than pondering on it. I did some Google search to check whether the depression is restricted to specific economic class. Though I could not get proper result, I found the article in Wikipedia stating that economically well-developed countries have more patients of depression than developing countries.
This exactly was my point. Why those who deal with depression do not do some social study on this disease? It is worth noting whether persons from following economic class suffer due to depression:
a) Construction workers
b) Agriculture labours in rural India
c) Workers working in unorganised sector
Please note that the above category is not just oppressed because of the long working hours or under-payment but they are at the butt of the abuse by their manager or supervisor. in their personal life, they have live with great struggle that includes fights for basic necessity like water. These people simply do not suffer due to depression because they do not have luxury of it. People are so hard-pressed from their domestic responsibility that they just cannot allow thoughts of depression to occur to them.
Yes, there is less awareness about mental diseases compared with physical diseases in India, but members who provided their opinions to this thread have done out of their concern. More than certified medical practitioner, here the patient can do lot on his/her own. Members have questioned whether originator of the thread has done that. While thinking of the immediate problems, many times members fail to notice the risks involved in the future. These HR forums are there to take comprehensive view and reveal those risks. Juniors or needy members have benefited from this approach of the seniors. Whether to heed the advice or not is the call of the individual. Divergence of views is the essence of these forum and those who raise query need to live with this divergence. Forever, subscription of one's views can hardly happen.
