Hi Archana
I remember one case from the book " OB" by Uma Sekaran. I do not exactly remember it verbatim but I am providing you a rough draft.
In one organisation the production manager was a sardar. He was very efficient and hardworking. He was an asset to the organisation. One day the CEO who had an Oxford degree came up to him and said" Well Mr X , we have got one .... of a big order, you have to simply put your hair down and complete this project within 2 weeks". The sardar went out of his office very tensed. Everyone knew from his face that there was something wrong. After 2 days , the Sardar handed over his resignation to the MD. The MD was shocked and tensed. How could a person who was so loyal,hardworking, put everything else for his company, could resign and that too Mr. X. The MD took the sardar for lunch and asked him the reason for his resignation. After much prodding, the sardar said" Sir, the CEO wants me to cut my hair , and it is against our religion to cut our hair". "Hence I am resigning from the services of the company."
