Dear Sir/Madam,
I have been working at Company for over 5 years as a Senior Executive in HR. I am the sole representative for Mumbai HR. I have been diligently involved in the acquisition process at the company. I have taken charge of the acquisition process on both occasions. However, the new management is very unprofessional, and I have not received any increments or promotions in the last 3 years. In the meantime, I have completed my MBA with first-class honors, but the situation remains unchanged. I have been managing to cope for the past year while actively searching for a new job.
Two days ago, when I went to the office, my Vice President asked me to go home. When I inquired about the reason, he simply stated that he had received instructions to send me home. I felt deeply insulted that day and decided to resign. I believe it is not appropriate to treat someone who has served the company for 6 years in such a manner. Do you think resigning was the wrong decision?
I value my dignity and self-respect, and I cannot continue working under such circumstances. I have a strong belief in these principles, and I am well-qualified with significant experience.
Please provide me with your suggestions and feedback on this situation. If the company asks me to return to the office, what should I do? Frankly, I do not wish to continue working for this organization.
Thank you.
From India, Mumbai

From your communication, it is not clear what happened on the day your VP instructed you to leave the office. On the other side, in case the VP has insulted you (if it is not just a feeling), being a professional with 5 years of experience, taking a decision to quit the job is fine. Finalize the call and prepare the action plan to find your next job. Wishing you the very best!!!

We had an event of RANGPANCHMI. For the event, they had asked to distribute pamphlets, and I was not going to distribute pamphlets. I was busy with my HR work. Even my admin team did all the work from loading, unloading, cleaning. I can't do such work. They might have wanted such work done. I went for the event and was there until after 1.30. Then I came back home.
I don't think it was a mistake. Isn't it???

Dear Ms. Jayashree,
If the incidents narrated (not based on your own perspective alone) had actually happened, the action of the management smacks of arrogance coupled with unprofessional conduct. There is an anecdote in the life of the most famous Tamil Poet Kambar belonging to the 11th Century A.D. When the emperor who had been patronizing him all along became indifferent and banished him all of a sudden because of personal animosity, the Poet reacted as below in the open Royal Court and left the country immediately:
"Are you the only king in this world? Is yours the only fertile kingdom? Did I master my language only for you? Is there a tree that rejects a monkey?"
Don't ruminate over the past. A sense of pride springing out of the right perspective and self-respect is always essential for an individual's marching forward. In fact, a better job awaits you. So, cheer up, and soon you will be in a better job in an organization that recognizes your potential! The ways of God are always mysterious to mortal man—but God does everything for our betterment!
Wishing you better luck in your next job,

Dear Jayshree,
If what you said is correct, I do not see any reason for you to continue in a company that does not know how to treat an employee who served them for five years. You seem to be hardworking and qualified in HR. Therefore, you need not worry about your future. Life is like a camera. Focus on what you want to aim at, capture the good view, and take a shot. If it has not come out well, take another shot. There is no limit to the number of snaps, and there is no dearth of beautiful and scenic views. This world is full of infinite possibilities. Their loss is someone's gain. All the best.

Dear Jayashree,
Some employers start thinking that their company is the world and they are THE GOD. They go to the extent of boasting about some employee (whom they have fired) as 'uska dana-pani band kar denge'. Actually, they are the biggest fools. They are like the proverbial frog of the well who does not know how big the world is outside. Regarding 'dana-pani band karna', well, only the ALMIGHTY can do it and no one else. So, be assured that the company you are working in is smaller than a speck on the globe. May GOD bless you!

Hi,
Basically, it is our qualifications and experience that follow us, and companies are like grocery shops. If one closes, we will find another, and sometimes, we end up finding a superstore or hypermarket.
People don't usually leave companies; they leave bad managers or bad management. Don't lose heart. Whatever happens is for something better.
Cheers...

Dear Jatashree,
As you have mentioned, your new management didn't give you any increment for 3 years, which means they were provoking you to resign. Despite this, you continued in your job. Ultimately, they directly asked you to go home. This could be corporate politics aimed at removing an employee.
With an MBA degree and 6 years of experience, I believe that you can find a much better job.
All the best!

Hi Jayashree,
As all have already mentioned, you have done the right thing. In fact, you have already overextended yourself. In life, when you give some people an inch, and they take a mile. But that doesn't mean you need to keep giving. No organization owns anyone. As you were not appreciated, there was no use continuing with them because they will never understand your value.
Always remember you have both experience and qualifications, so nothing can stop you from getting a good job.
All the best for your future.

Anita

Dear Jayashree,
I have a few queries:
Were you the only one whose increment was on hold for 3 years? Did you notice a change in the behavior of the management recently or have you experienced similar indifference in the past? Is your company among those that have and can survive without an HR department, as in such cases, HR's job is usually the first to be cut? Do you have an acceptance copy of your resignation, and have you sent a right to information mail to your company about the abrupt retrenchment? If most of the answers are affirmative, then you must understand that you should love your job and not just the company. Bygones are bygones. Do some soul searching, figure out what went wrong, and move ahead. Most importantly, keep your documents like experience and appointment letters handy for future opportunities. Forget the incident, but don't forget the lesson.
Kind regards,
[Your Name]
