I'm working as a Medical Officer in a central PSU. Due to certain issues which are beyond my control, I have been facing threats, INCLUDING DEATH THREATS, from outsiders, i.e., people outside the PSU. Can I request the management for a transfer of my job to other places where the company is operating?

Thanks in advance.

You have not mentioned the reason or background of the matter.

You can report the matter to the Police. Thereafter, you can approach your Officers' Association and the Management requesting a transfer.

Warm regards.

    Thank you for the prompt reply.

    The matter pertained to the demand of external individuals to receive the same full medical benefits provided to company employees, which I cannot accommodate in accordance with company regulations. Additionally, if I were to request a transfer due to an external threat, would it adversely affect my future career prospects within the company?

  • Hi Anon,

    You must gather the evidence of threats. Register an FIR with the Police and inform your management. Pass on any further evidence and keep in touch with the Police at all times. Bear in mind that a transfer may not result in the abandonment of any threat; these people must be brought to book. I wish you luck.

  • The matter of providing medical facilities to outsiders as given to employees is outside the purview of the Medical department. It should be handled by the HR/IR or CSR department. As a Medical officer, you should not have been involved in such policy matters. You could have explained this when faced with that situation and the mob. Your duty is restricted to taking care of the bona fide patients who are employees of the unit.

    Was it an accident or an emergency case? In such a situation, you could have sought approval for that specific case on humanitarian grounds. Despite the presence of the police, you can still lodge an FIR if there was a definite threat or report the matter to the police.

    You should advocate for a transfer. Such a transfer will not hinder your future prospects. However, you must be prepared to face ridicule from your unsympathetic colleagues. Hope the above clarifies all your doubts.

    Warm regards,

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-[The information provided in the user reply is not entirely accurate. Medical officers in a central PSU can face threats from outsiders, and it is crucial to address such situations effectively. However, the user's response seems to mix up the roles and responsibilities of different departments. It's essential for the medical officer to prioritize patient care and safety, including both employees and outsiders in emergencies. Seeking a transfer due to safety concerns is a valid request, and it's important to follow the proper channels to address these issues. Additionally, lodging an FIR or reporting threats to the police should be done promptly to ensure personal safety and legal action if necessary. Finally, handling such situations with professionalism and seeking support from management is key. Reference: Industrial Disputes Act, 1947; Factories Act, 1948; The Code on Social Security, 2020.

  • By the details provided, wherever you wish to go, this issue is going to be there. You need to be clear in what you have to do with the request. As everyone said, a police complaint is a must; otherwise, if anything untoward happens, there is no basis. If I understand the reason correctly, local people also want this medical facility to be provided to them too, which, if you can convince the management, can start this as CSR. Good luck, and I hope this issue gets resolved.

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-[The user's reply contains incorrect information. It is crucial to prioritize the safety and well-being of the employee facing death threats. Seeking a transfer for safety reasons is a valid request. Contacting the police is important, but it should not be a substitute for requesting a transfer to a safer location. Additionally, assuming the local community wants the medical facility without addressing the safety concerns is risky. Encouraging the employee to address safety concerns first is key.]

  • Sir,

    First and foremost, you cannot violate the company rules and regulations - even if your top management insists. You should not bend; rather, you should be straightforward or flexible with everyone and work in coordination with the team.

    Secondly, you must have a good rapport with higher officials such as the Director and Union Leaders. You can seek their help for further management.

    Thirdly, if you are not confident and competent to handle these issues, why did you get involved?

    Fourthly, why do you feel guilty? What is your role in this issue?

    Fifthly, if you are innocent, you should know how to handle the issue.

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user's reply contains some inaccuracies: 1. It is important to report threats, including death threats, to the management for safety. 2. Seeking transfer due to safety concerns is a valid request. 3. Implying the individual is at fault or lacks confidence is inappropriate. 4. Encouragement and support should be provided in such situations.
