Hello everyone,
I was urged to get to citehr after a long time. Really a ridiculos(rather strange) thing to share.
I spoke to a friend of mine, who was also my classmate, after quiet a long time. She is in the field of HR (DOn't want to disclose her name - shall use a part of her name: Rach) Rach was highly disappointed and sounded so low that her ususal enthusiasm.
She used to come across as this HR with a lot of innovative ideas, she used to be very enthusuastic, and highly optimistic about anything and everything. She used to have a "Can do" factor within her...but, teh last time I spoke to her, she sounded so different.
Here it is - She works as a HR with a traditional company. Now the sister concerns of those units are highly reputed..and this group she works with is just trying to save an image by using the other sister concerns' name. Frankly speaking - they are yet to create a niche.
Now she is the first HR and was asked to streamline recruitment activities. She has completed almost a year and in this time she set a good recruitment system, brought about a lot of ideas regardig performance appraisal etc. etc... but here is what she told me last week:
a) First - the company believes a lot if all poojas, vastu etc. Every alternate nights/ evenings they have saints/poojaris visiting them, digging some land, planting some seeds, closing the path to specific areas... she herself had to change her seat direction many times
b) They are planning to create a corporate office - where they will have international clienst visiting them. The current office/though it is called a corporaet office - teh floow is frequently washed with cow dung, teh computers below to the first generation range. It is so dusty- etc etc (she cried over this to me over the phone!)
c) Each time they give her an assignment - like create a sign board for the company, bring an interior designer - she used to struggle and get everything done for approval. But - because of cost and vastu, and pooja related - they have denied everything.
d) The employees have not received their raises/increment. WHen she asked for her other employees - they somehow delay by saying that is not ready, this is not erady etc.
e) The worst and the sure one I remember out of all the examples at work she cited - Their Marketing Head was asked to go to particular temple, and circle a statue 9 times before he goes for any client meeting. And He is also supposed to tell what kind of vibrations he feels when he does that..
My friend was depressed... I suggested her to quit the job. Am I wrong?
