Dear All,

A very Happy Janmashtmi to u...

I am working in a pvt. co. as a HR Head, this is my first co. and I ve joined this organisation as a Consultant HR (on 1st of April 06) within one month only I got promoted to Sr. Executive HR & Marcomm. than on 1st of Jan 07 i again got promoted as a Corporate HR Manager till date I am working on the same designation in my Co.

So in all as of today my tenure is 1 Year 5 months. Now as I will be moving to Bombay in January '08 coz of some personal reasons. I would like to part my duties from my current organization (resignation) just coz we have no branch in Bombay.

Even though its 4 whole months with me, Earlier I had plans to resign by September end n wanted to be relieved by October end but now as I feel that every one knows that I will leave, I feel ignored many times and its also effecting my work adversely.

So before things will get worse I m planning to leave the organization and want to resign today itself, serving one months notice period, I’ll again look for a change in march ’08 to join some other organization there in Bombay itself.

:?: Getting to the Point my questions are:

1) Is my decision correct to resign today itself or else I am taking this step in a hassle?

2) Whether, taking a break for 6 months would be negative for my career in future or not.

3) As I have been promoted as a HR Head within a short span of time, would I be able to justify this in future course of action to my next Company.

Please do help me out in this

Hi,

First of all, congrats on such a speedy climb. Believe me, you must be a great worker to reach such a height and level in one's career. Kudos! Regarding your decisions, I think you should stay in the company until your last working day. Why are you feeling ignored? Don't let that feeling sink in. I feel you should overlook all of this and work to your best ability until your last date.

Regarding your break, if you are getting married or expecting a child, then it's understandable. Otherwise, taking such a long break is not advisable. Perhaps you could consider doing a short course or something similar, but please do not take an extended break from work.

All the best to you.

Hi Friend,

What Fayeq suggested is absolutely true. A 6-month break without a genuine reason is not advisable. Try to serve your notice period; after all, this company has given you a lot, recognized your talent, and promoted you to a managerial position. The last question is a little tricky, friend. Whether you will get a similar position has the answer in your experience, your talent, and your willingness to learn.

All the best :)

1) Right Decision

2) As an HR professional, it is not advisable to break the news.

3) Please do not go by designations. All that matters is the caliber.

Next time, never inform about leaving the company. Only send the notice to your immediate superior; it will prevent all problems.

Hi,

If you are feeling lonely, then try this. Ask your management to offer some project, something that could be completed within 4-5 months. This would help you in many ways:

1. It would prevent your inactivity.
2. It would also boost confidence among your colleagues.
3. You would have the opportunity to learn new things.

Hi buddy,

What you are going through is what we call the withdrawal syndrome. All your symptoms suggest that. What you may want to do is counter it:
1) Complete your notice period.
2) Finish your tenure by doing something productive for the organization.
3) If people do not involve you, you involve them.
4) It's not a good idea to burn bridges, nor is it a good idea to leave the bridge closed. Just consider this.

Regards and best of luck,

Thanks a lot to all of you… for ur prompt responses
Fayeg your suggestion is really valuable....
and as Sari said….i can never forget what I got from this company in such a short span of time, that too with great learning and appreciation.
Yes the reason for taking break is my marriage only….,but I know I cant sit idle too.
As per suggested by Mr. M. Peer Mohamed Sardhar…I will only resign at the right time….and to my next co. i'll definately justify my designation with my knowledge and experience
And begama….today only I will ask my management to give me some project on which I can start working with my full zeal n zest..
And thanks to all of u….i ve decided to leave my organization “At my High not at my Low”
Thanks to you also ken for your good guidance..

I believe you should overlook all of this and work to your best ability until the last date. Concerning your break, if you are getting married or starting a family, then it's okay. However, taking such a long break is not advisable otherwise. Perhaps you could do a short course or something, but please do not take any unnecessary break from work.

All the best to you.

Dear 'R',

Please accept my belated wishes on this Janmashtami.

I feel, you were totally in love with your company and thought that sharing your news of leaving the company four months in advance was a good idea. The news spread within the company rapidly, and now you feel left out, like you're being ignored. Love your job and your work, but don't love your company too much, as its affection will change once you leave.

No, I don't think you are being ignored. You have become a bit lazy on the job, displaying a lack of motivation that one often experiences before leaving. The people are the same, but your confidence in your work has dipped below the average level, leading to your feelings of being ignored.

Reconsider and let go of the idea of leaving the company for the next 3 months. Try working as diligently as you did when you were an Executive. Even though you may not move up (given your current position as Head), you can regain your lost confidence.

If you still feel like you are being ignored, see it as a challenge. Keep working in the same company and give your best effort at all times.

Taking a 6-month break is not advisable. How can a creative person sit at home doing nothing?

Regarding your quick ascent to the position of Corp. HR Manager (or HR Head), I can only say that the HR Manager role is a mid-level position in most industries and organizations. A Vice President in a small firm might be hired as a GM in a large, renowned MNC, and similarly, an HR Manager might be hired at the level of Deputy/Assistant Manager or Senior Executive elsewhere. This depends on the organization's size and your relevant experience with the new company. However, you can certainly justify the rapid success you achieved in 1.5 years at your current company.

Warm regards,

Hi,

You are doing a great job. I believe you like working in your present organization. If so, find means to continue working until your planned stay in that place. When you leave, you should be known for what you have been. Don't let the present situation be the reason for you to resign.

Best wishes,
Aj

I must say Umesh that you have traced my situation very accurately, and whatever you are saying is 80% correct if I evaluate the things.

I have worked for my company since the day I joined it, just like a "Donkey with a Fox Mind," and my loyalty and faithfulness towards it like a "good Dog" (still trying to maintain the degree).

As of now, I really feel that after a whole month, I am realizing that my earlier traits are coming back again, but with a slightly lower degree.

I will definitely keep all your suggestions in mind. Thanks a lot for the same.

Even though my authorities are too good to be in parallel, I do believe that "Being a good person is like a goalkeeper. No matter how many goals we have saved, people will remember only the one that we missed."

And thanks, Aj... I'll surely not give a single chance to anyone to think that my present situation is the reason for my resignation. I'll surely try to give my best shot. 😃
