Dear Pooja,
I read the chain of letters today only and from all your comments I think I got a clear picture. First of all Iam not an HR person so my opinion will be completely different.
As per my understanding you tried to do something in the organisation which they have not heard till now. All your fun day activities, news letters, etc etc were all the baggage u carried from your IT company. First of all please understand that most of the manufacturing companies, especially family startups take the function of HR as to the old Personal Manager concept. For the managers working in these type of organisations, these are all waste of time, energy and valuable company time wasted which could have been used to increase the production.
Try to change your style of working starting from the recruitment, attendence, welfare, separation and then the fun filled activities. Whatever u do for employee satisfaction and enjoyment in workplace, they will try to put the spanner in the works. It will take a little time to gain their confidence in you. Don't think that they are not supporting you, first understand they have not done these things in their entire career and automatically takes as a waste of time. Reduce your frequency of activities and then mostly concentrate on the paper work which I feel u are shirking now.
You are MBA and as a part of curriculam u have studied the change management, go back to your lessons and re read again. Then u will understand where u have gone wrong.
First understand one thing . No manager's seat is cozy and comfortable. We all put dog ears to sit in this seat comfortably. Be patient time will tell u where u have gone wrong.
Regards
Krishna
