Several employees came & went after me with higher salary. All new employees are joining at a very high salary as compared to me. I have completed all the PF formalities of an employers which was pending since very long time & have released all the ex employees (50nos) PF withdrawal money stuck. I also keep on arranging employee engagement activities to keep all staff motivated & stress free.
But I have never been appreciated for this. This diwali all the staff were given bonus even the new employees were given bonus even if they have not completed 6months also. But, I was not given. I felt so bad for this. I had even asked for salary hike which also I have not yet received.
Now I’m planning to resign from the job. Please advise me if I am right. Or what should I do. I’m in great confusion.

Hey, it is really sad that they have treated you this way. However, I would suggest that you speak to your reporting manager about this one-on-one before you draft a resignation letter. You need to understand the pros and cons of resigning from a job at a time when the market is down, and HR jobs are hardly available.
I would suggest you talk to your employer and figure out a solution. If you do not get a positive reply, then start looking for another job. Do not resign until you have another job that pays you well and suits your choice. Hope things get better for you. Stay in touch!

Puneet,
Thank you for your reply.
Actually, I'm looking for a job since the last 4 to 5 months. But, hardly do I get any response. Even if I do, I'm unable to take the call or go for an interview as my cell phone is not with me in the office.
Moreover, I'm fully aware of the market situation. Due to all of this, I really don't feel like coming to the office anymore.

Hi,
That's really true; don't resign unless you get another good opportunity. One more suggestion I want to give you: have a discussion with your reporting manager and tell him about the issue. Don't complain about bias and prejudice; instead, ask for your future growth and development.
If he/she agrees, accept it. If not, inform them that you would like to resign for better growth and development. Don't hesitate to leave the company if you are not satisfied.
Thank you.

Hi P_Joshi,
I second both the team members who had given you a reply above. Talk to the company first; if they are satisfied with your hard work, they will definitely consider retaining you. Meanwhile, also look for other jobs. Use your emails if not mobiles. Change only if they give you a negative reply. Put in the resignation only after you get another offer in hand.
All the best!!

I really thank you for your comments.
Though after talking to my manager, he has not responded negatively. Also, I have already spoken to him about my salary rise, as I have not received a raise since I joined. To which he said he will talk to the director and will try. Now, the only thing I have to do is wait and watch. If I get a salary raise by next month, fingers crossed, I am really in need of one.
Thank you to all once again for your comments.

Hi P,
Have you figured out the reason why you haven't received a single pay raise in the past two years? As the sole HR person in your company, how is the bonus determined by the management? In a way, one could say you are the HR head of the company. I suggest you directly meet with the director and create an organizational structure with a clear reporting hierarchy. Define the duties and responsibilities of every employee to prevent bias and disparities. Your direct reporting should be to the company director, not to any other manager. Ensure all policies and procedures are approved and signed by your director for smooth execution. Update your profile regularly on job portals. Check your email and job opportunities after work. Only consider interviewing if you come across a lucrative offer. However, do not resign from your current position until you have a formal offer in hand, as finding a job while unemployed can be challenging.

Hey,
There is no need to worry. HR is essential in any company. If you motivate employees, you should also receive motivation from the employer. If this is a concern, you should discuss it with your employer. If they are willing to provide an increment, that's great. Ask for an increment based on your abilities if one is not offered.
If your employer agrees, that's good for you. If not, consider resigning. You have valuable experience in the HR field, so finding a new and suitable job should not be a challenge for you. Remember to maintain a professional demeanor.
All the best.

Hi Prakriti,
Well done! Great work you have done for the organization! Always remember, do not hesitate to discuss with your seniors, mainly during these crucial moments. I would suggest you speak with your HR Head politely to get the issue resolved. My sixth sense is saying that you will definitely get an increment and other benefits.
All is well!

Dear All,
I really thank you all for your response and support. Can you please reply to my below query as well?
As you know, I have been with this company for the last two years without a single increment. So, I'm trying for a new job and I recently got an interview from one of the companies for HR and admin Dept. This company is well-established as well as near to my place. However, the interview date is not yet confirmed.
In view of the above, my query is if this company asks about the reason for leaving my current company, is it okay if I mention the lack of salary increment for two years, or what else should I mention?
What if I mention the reason as a salary increment and they might think that, since my performance is not good or not up to the mark, I didn't receive any salary raise. And because of this misunderstanding, if they reject me, my salary is not raised because I never asked for it. I was actually waiting for them to do the same and even due to bad market conditions, I was waiting. Anyways, my company gives a raise only if anybody is asking for it; otherwise, not.
Also, I think after having over 6 years of experience, my salary is very low, below average.
Kindly help me with this. I'm too confused.

You should never inform the interviewer that you are looking for a change because you didn't get a hike for two years. Just put it in a general way that you are looking for better opportunities and to explore the HR areas.
Never ever speak negatively about your previous employer as it may even lead to the rejection of your candidature.
Good luck.

Dear All,
Request your suggestions, please.
In view of the above discussion, after continuous follow-up of three months for a salary hike, I have not received a single increment yet. Although, after all the discussions with my manager, he didn't reply negatively but also not positively. On top of all this, now my seniors are putting pressure on me for recruitment and certain other issues. They keep finding ways to overload me with unnecessary work. My director shouts and yells at me at the top of his voice without any reason, which makes me feel really insulted. For the last two years, I have been sincerely working without any salary raise, appreciation for the work done, no motivation, and no bonus. I'm fed up with all this. I'm simply not interested in working in this firm anymore. The way my employers behave with me hurts after working so hard for them.
Now, I have decided to resign, giving 25 days' notice. If I don't, they won't process my PF and the remaining days' salary. I also feel like taking some legal action against them. Can I do that? Today, I'll be informing my employers about my resignation. Should I mention the salary reason and their rude behavior, and the lack of proper infrastructure, career growth, and development? Is it okay?
Please help me with this.
Thank you.

Hi Prakriti,
First of all, speak clearly with your director about a salary increment and do not disclose anything about resignation. If you feel that this firm is not suitable for you, then start searching for a new job. Do not submit your resignation until you secure a new job.

Hi Prakriti,
Good work must always be appreciated. If you've put in your best and still not getting the minimum, then you should've moved forward long time back. Now, since you have finally decided to move, you must stick to your decision. What I would suggest to you here is whenever you leave from any organization, a proper exit is a must. But since you mentioned that they would not be processing your salary (if you're sure, else a proper exit must be done), then you do not need to bother about the notice period as well.
At times, this is the way of management to force the employee to leave when:
1) They cannot afford such costly employees (In some companies—usually start-ups or financially troubled companies—HR people are considered as Non-Performing Assets) when they can have people on the same profile and same work but much cheaper.
2) You're not justifying the salary you're being paid.
3) They take you for granted since they are aware that you're not confident and active enough to fight for your own rights. So, it's been a rule since ages to bully the weaker or quieter ones.
What I would suggest is either to make them realize your value to them or leave gracefully. There's no point working at such a place where you have detached yourself from. Now, you should aggressively look for a new fit for yourself elsewhere.
You must know a right candidate will always find a place somewhere. Nobody lets the right talent go. Make a place for yourself even if they do not have a vacancy.
Best Wishes to you!

First of all you have experience as you wrote in your mail then you have to apply for another job.
Secondly being a HR Senior you can ask from your Employer about your bonus and other facility .

Dear Prakriti,
Do all interviewers know why a candidate is willing to leave the present organization, even though he/she is very comfortable there? In interviews, there is no need to provide any negative feedback about the current organization. You can simply say, "I am looking for a better opportunity than what the present organization offers."
Pray to God and remain positive. Surely, the Almighty will help you.
