Dear Seniors and all members,
This is regarding the Employment verification of a female MBA-HR who never worked for us but still my predecessor in HR issued a Employment Certificate to her last year. Now this female has jacked up her employment through her personal contacts with one of the Topmost IT & Software Company headquartered in Bangalore and that too in HR Dept. The Company was in news for sexual harassment about 7yrs ago after which it boasts of following ethical guidelines in all cases and also setup special cell for that. Now the Employee verification of this female has come to me and since handling HR i knew that the employee never existed and therefore reverted accordingly to the Verification Agency. Now my predecessor (who was handling hr before me) alongwith my company owner informs me that I should verify positively the employement details of the female in question. I go ahead cook up a story of how i missed the employement papers and re-verify the female and her employement with us in positive light.
Having done this I feel miserable on Ethics. On one hand I had an Ethical issue of doing my job and on the other I had my boss with instructions. But I also reflect on the Giant Software Company which has employed the female (that too in Human Resources) through a person on influencial terms although it boasts of Ethics and morality day in and day out and has been involved heavily in charity too. Such is our lives full of hypocrisy. On one hand we HR people preach Ethics and on the other hand we fail to implement them in practical life.......does reality really matter or are we all happy under the illusion of best HR practices??................rgrds
