HI,
This is Jyotindra parmar-AVP with one of the leading Financial Services provider in india.
May be I can advice you to quit from the current job, if you are mobile enough. But before taking that decision, you should ensure the following :
1) Whether you will get a better job in the same city. May be I could have elabourated better, If I could have known a city. Anyhow.
2) If you are mobile enough, sky is a limit and there are host of better opportunities...!!
3) There are many other personal/social factors which affects the decision, that should be your personal call. If it is OK with you , you should quit without a second thought.
I am suggesting you this, because I worked with BAJAJ AUTO affiliated co. and I have seen large no. of such automobile dealerships, their workings,environment,etc.
Quiting will be a better option.

Hello,
I do not agree with Nisha at all. Let me first ask you the following questions:
1. Did you know the attitude of the employers before joining?
If yes, then why did you join?
If no, then why did you not find out? As a person who is in the field of HR, I believe you should be able to find and judge the job/employers which are right for you. If it was anybody other than an HR Dept. person asking your question, I would've understood his/her ignorance of how to find the right job and how to evaluate your options.
2. As an HR person, do you think that you are the best person to change the mindset of your employers towards the field of HR? Or are you thinking of taking the easy way out of simply giving up and quitting. Things will definitely be easier for you that way, but think of the scenario and the pride you can gain by attempting to change their attitude and benefitting not only yourself, but for the whole lot of employees working in that organization. I'm sure that you have joined the field of HR because you genuinely care for the betterment of people/professionals. If that is the reason you are in HR then I would say that you need to stay and fight. Fight till your self esteem allows you and even then if you think that it's not going to make any difference you may think of leaving.
3. Where would you get greater job satisfaction? Is it in an excellent company, with set practices and procedures, where HR is hyped, respected and been existent forever. Or is it in a company of whom you could write on the blog again and say...A few months back my employers did not believe in HR Management, but today "I" am proud to tell you that I have shown them how it is vital for a company to manage their human resources the way I am doing it. The journey was great; I made a difference in all those employees lives... I have made a turnaround in this company's HR Dept.
The second case is what I call true job satisfaction. Of course then, I would not even hesitate to ask for the rightful salary that I deserve, because then they will also understood the value that I have added to their organization.
So I hope you make the decision which YOU think is appropriate, because you have to live with your decision. Just make sure that you fight for what you are passionate about and you will go places.
All the best.

Dear Jyoti,
I can understand that you are in a fix. This job is not adding any value to your career, not giving you any satisfaction, but at the same time its difficult to quit because you have worked here for just 4 months.
You have asked for suggestions on "the right way of quitting".I would suggest you do the following, step by step, the mail is a bit long, but read each step carefully, it will help you: -
1) Somehow meke up your mind to stick to this job for another 2 months. Plz remember, that once you want to leave a company before completing 6 months, you may be considered a 'job hopper' by new recruits. But be determined to quit after 2 to max 3 months and make preparations accordingly.
2) Please don't try to convince your current company on 'the correct way to do HR job' becoz they won't listen. They will continue to be the current "money minded" type that they are becoz its the culture of an organisation that determines its peoples' attitude, it cannot be changed by one single person. Instead,try to go with the flow, do only whatever they ask you to do, and do that with a smile on your face. You will anyways leave the company after 2-3 months, so no point bittering your relation with them and also frustrating yourself in the process. Maintain a good relation with them.
3) Since your job is not adding any value to your HR skills, do as much as possible on your own becoz when you appear for a new interview, a common qestion asked will be " what all areas of HR have you coveerd in your current organisation? Then you cannot say "they did not let me do anything worthwile in HR". Instead, you can say "Though my current profile did not let me add much value, I have done the following on my own becoz I am passionate about HR". You can do the following things to add value to your resume: -search the net and read as many good HR articles/research papers as you can, visit any good bookstore and find out good HR books, pick up one that appeals to you and start reading(if possible, read the book Labour Law by PL Malik), be active member in online HR communities.
4) Do the above mentioned activities and add them in your resume. By the end of next month put your resume in a good website. Then while attending interviews mention that your current job is not adding value to your career but you still stuck to it for 6 months becoz you wanted to wait and watch and do as much as possible and not leave in a hurry. This will create a good impression on your new inetrviewers becoz they will judge you as a "fighter". Also mention the things you have done on your own to improve your HR knowledge.
5) Pllllz ASK about your JOB PROFILE clearly in your new interviews and ALSO NEGOTIATE your SALARY properly so that you do not repent later.
I have provided the suggestions as practically as possible, hope you find them useful
Regards,
Madhu.

Hello Again,
I do hope you do what is best for you, but let me share my view on one thing:
"No matter how many HRM, labour law, OB, etc. books/articles you read, what really HR Management means is dealing with "people", so avoiding a problem with people instead of solving it and going back to books to portray your proficiency in HRM is not going to help."
Books are a guideline, but practice is what HRM is all about. If it would have been a book that could give you answers regarding people management you wouldn't be asking your question to "people" on this site instead you would be asking our HRM, OB, Labour law books.
So best of luck.
