Dear Sandeep,
Thanks for your response to my post. However, about your post, "I will not force you to put youself in my place but just request you that our thoughts are not matching and I can't take you suggestions positivly as they are making zero impact on me, I would like to inform you that at this very late stage, none can force me to put myself in your place, as that stage has passed long ago by about 15 years after my retirement from active service. I may also make it clear for your information that during my service period I was also the champion of self respect, NOT EGOI, but I used to take appropriate precautions not to give any chance to any one to play with my self respect. I used to be fully equipped to counter that at my own with my own capabilities, not taking shelter of the top brass, third party, or the law courts.
So, my advice was totally impartial, not taking side with any one of you adversaries of your company.
Opinions, suggestions or advice to any one are always prone to acceptance and rejection by the querist. Since some member asks, the others try to suggest or advise in good faith, totally unconcerned with the issue whether his thoughts would match with those of the querist or not. Some people like that and some dislike that. You were also free to accept or ignore advice the members. So, that has not hurt my feeling, if your thoughts do not match with mine.
However, I was happy to note that being of the status of a manager, you preferred to take your own decision to go by your own resolve. Decisions may be right or wrong that must be experimented by the managers and leaders, if advice/ suggestions of others are not liked. But, it seems, at the last moment you have cowed down yourself by dropping your original proposal to sue the erring manager and the company by saying, "I have forwarded the case to hr team and senior heads and the result is that a warning is issued to account manager and he has dropped me an apology mail. This satisfies my ego now. But the lesson i got is fight for your rights and u'll get the dew."
May my thoughts match with your thoughts or not, but as per my views, you did not fight for your right but to satisfy your ego. I further observe that your proposal, "filing lawsuit against company" revealed your wavering mind, when you sought advice from members of this site. Thereafter on several pieces of advice of adverse nature, you took a firm decision to go by your own proposal. But, with apology of the Account Manager, you dropped your decision to take the matter to a law court by getting solace of mind by saying "this satisfies my ego now." The question arises, when you had forwarded the case to HR team, was your query justified in a premature stage, when you were reqyured to wait for the action of the HR team and finally to abide by its decision that too when you were not inclined to act upon any suggestion made my the members? To be frank, the need for asking for the suggestions/ advice of the members on your premature query is not understood.
All that gives vent to nothing else, except the state of a wavering mind, which is not called for from a manager working in a company functioning in an advanced country, like UK.
That also makes very clear that there was nothing about self respect and prestige, rather a case of ego and revenge from some adversary in the organisation. I must say, THAT IS NOT A HEALTHY TREND IN ANY ORGANISATION. Mutual regard of contemporaries is always rewarding in any organisation, not confrontation of individual egos and ethos that can burst any time to take undesirably worse shape.
May this free advice not suit you for the present, but at one stage of your career you can realise the real value of this advice.
Anyway, best of luck!
