What a great suggestions, specially from Mr. Divekar & Mr. Dhingra. Great advice. Sir, I have pasted my following problem last week and still did not receive any reply. Would you guyes please look in to my following matter and paste your suggestion.
Hi seniors,
I was working in the company as Credit Controller. My GM was very happy with my work and seeing my capability he gave more responsibility in finance work and same time he promoted me as Acting Accounts Manager in the month of July 2009 without giving increasing in my salary. When I asked him about my increment he said we will do afterword probably by end of the year (2009), because company's financial situation is not good at this time.
However I did my job sincerely and also proved him myself for last 8 to 9 months. Again as per there promise, I ask him in Dec 2009 to increase my salary and make my title as Accounts Manager from Acting Accounts Manager. They are saying company is planning to the grading system therefore you have to wait.
Please help me what should I do in this situation. For your information they have promoted and increased the several other departments’ employee's salary. I mean if they wish they can increase anybody's salary without waiting for grading system to come. But unfortunately they are not doing for me. Even I told them if you are not happy with my work then let me know I will look some other alternative. There answer is you are our KEY employee we will do something but you have to wait.
Now please let me know how long company can continue with Acting Accounts Manager title and your valuable suggestion in this matter please.

Dear Sir(s),
I am working for last almost 10 years & this is my 2nd job, even being an employee saying that employees behave arrogantly whenever they are wrong or do mistakes.. The moment any one brought up mistake, they reach at the heights of volume & rudeness...
Will not disclose the company name, here employer's are firm for work & also go out of the way to help employee at need / to motivate / to train.. But employees at the time of deliverables behave indifferent...
Please advice solution for such because at last Mass turn-over comes at company's name & every time new recruitement / traning of-course is a cost...

Dear Mr. Ram,
Manish Gupta has rightly hinted about change. He has termed your GM to be a sharp minded. But, I term your GM as a shrewd person. He is just using you as a tool in his own interest without caring for your interest. So, you have to take care of your own interest yourself.
Instead of begging for a raise, just start applying for jobs in other companies. Once you get an appointment letter, just you need to show him. If he would be interested in retaining you, he would definitely give you a sufficient raise. That would be an honorable raise for you and without any obligation. Otherwise, if still your GM is unmoved, bid good bye to your company by tendering your resignation. That would be the only honorable solution for you in that case.

This is a classic case with many of the new generation demand driven organisation may it be construction, Real estate, Infra , IT & ITES .
here the business objective of the management/board seems to be short term (getting good profit when the demand is high). this kind of organisation have suffered a lot in this economic recession (however big in size they are)
This kind of organisation requires a radical change on both strategic and operational front (as such any change initiatives in this kind of set up is extremely challanging )
The most important thing is making your management and board understand that chage is inevitable for the organisation and some of the stereotypical mind will loose the job in this process (who might be very loyal and influencial to the organisation but not willing to change )
Move with theory X and slowly transform to theory Y
Define the org structure, reporting relationship, Pay for performance, L&D policy, but most importantly a contineous two way communication process with a common business goal .

I thank all of you for putting lot of efferts in understaning the problem and analizing the root cause.though I had read all comments before joining the meeting organised today.
First let me clear few points to all of you.
GM is not a bad person it seems, but very old ,decent, lively person aged 59 years.Wants to do everything on his own and assign work to anyone he thinks fit for.wants to take whole credit on himself giving impression to the management that he is indispencible.It seems there is phycological pressure on him that he has to retire in near future so keeping his strings tight on everything.
In most of department for one job atleast three person are working.so every one is getting less assignments.They have to prove thier worth otherwise how they are going to justify their salaries.That is the reson they are not sharing data or unwilling to tell anything more."Mera kaam bhi woh ker lega tou mai kya karoonga?"(If he will do my work then what would i do?)
They take two days to finish two hours work.you will find people busy solving sudoku sometimes..
I am not going there to train them nor to entertain them by some funny fun games..It was ordinary evening tea and snackes which were served at the expense of AGM..In the begning it was very very light..i involved them in one of my very small excersise (I use it many times and its too good to make everyone at ease and cheerful and it works like a blender)
ther are lot many things still to know but today I too was pleased but task ahead is not an easy one i am sure of that.
My actual work will start from coming monday onwards for that we are working and planning.
Msg is already passed today that company wants a change in working style and some major changes may come in the near future.Kind of buzz is already set in them..there is a curosity in them or may be little nervous ness ,i am not too sure of that..
My mind is full of thoughts..and i have lot to work ,plan and discuss.
Once again i am so very thankful to Mr.dinesh,Mr.dhingra,Mr.garry,Mr.shankaran and all.

One thing to which we all will agree is that the gentlemen at the helm of the affairs will have to be involved in this situation.

Sir
Only action cannot solve the problem. Solution lies in stick and carrot policy. Several organisataion succeeded because of effective use of policy.
Something is not under control. eg how GM can be removed by AGM. Still organisation can grow. PSU has proved now and again.. Hope we can be effective in our area of control
-that is most important.
