Navigating HR Management Challenges and Career Decision-Making

Hi, I am working in an IT - MNC company for past two years. Earlier was handling all the HR activities of the company alone, also had one assistant but she has also left. I was on my marriage leave and my company, recruited one HR Manager. I was asked to report to manager after i came from leave, earlier was reporting to GM and CEO of the company. However the entire creamy job is taken care by new HR and junior recruitments are taken care by me. Moreover my company CEO informed that company has plans of expansion in some cases i am not taken into consideration. I am finding this situation quite uncomfortable. I don't want to leave job since I and my husband are working in same company. But can you suggest what should I do,do I have future with company.

Hi Ritu,

Please do not use this forum for personal queries. If you cannot make decisions about your career, how can you work in the HR department? Please take it positively and think.

Hi Ritu,

Sorry to hear about your situation. But then, you need to sort it out; otherwise, you will surely lose interest in your work. Why don't you talk to your seniors (CEO & GM) about this? Tell them how uncomfortable you are feeling with this new HR Manager stepping in. After all, if you have been working in that company for the last 2 years, surely you must have built a good rapport with them.

Also, start working even harder than before so that you can win the confidence of this new manager, and perhaps he might assign you additional responsibilities that will boost your morale as well. I hope everything turns out the way you want them to!

PS: Jayraj, I felt you were unnecessarily rude to her. I don't see any reason why she can't use this forum for her personal queries. After all, we are all here to help one another. Please take it positively and think 😉

Dear all,

This forum is to share problems in HR (what we face and what we come across). So, no personal or anything... The person had confidence in all members of CiteHR and had put forth the situation. It is our duty or in interest helping a fellow professional to overcome the situation. If we are unable to give a solution, let us not comment.

Dear Ritu,

I really appreciate the way you have taken the comments made by other members. Hats off to your constructive attitude.

I propose 2 suggestions to you to help you judge your career:

1) Talk with the management about your current situation, your inner feelings, and discomfort. If things are cleared, it is absolutely fine. Also, talk with the HR Manager about the role you were handling, and make him understand your importance in the organization. If the HR manager is really true, he will take things in a positive way.

2) In life, your family is important to you. You have to decide on your career. Discuss with your husband, take a decision, and consider changing your organization. Definitely, things will flow in a better way. Decisions should not be delayed. Have confidence in yourself. You are the best. All the best.

You can keep in touch with me regarding this anytime.

Dear All,

Thank you for giving me suggestions. I have talked with seniors and expressed my desire to be part of the team, especially when new policies are being made, so I can provide my input as well. Although they agreed, recently I have noticed that the new HR and management have been making decisions without considering me, even though I make an effort to involve the new HR. I have dedicated a lot of hard work to the company to improve things.

After discussing with my husband, we have decided that I will be leaving the job. If any of you are aware of any HR vacancies in Ahmedabad, please let me know. As I am currently handling numerous recruitments, it may be challenging for me to secure a new job quickly.

Thank you all once again for your valuable suggestions.

Sure, here is the corrected version of the user's input:

S, you have to continue with this job and you have to prove yourself. The company already knows about your dedication and work ethic. You can do things your way and impress your CEO; they need to understand why we behave like this.

Good decision, Ritu! Appreciate it. The world is changing, and companies are on the lookout for experienced hands who can deliver something different. If your company doesn't value your experience, then "quit"; it's your company's loss! Now, you have a chance to be part of a new culture by joining another company. All the best.

Hi,

Now, the situation has changed. I find myself alone in HR, dealing with an increased workload. The new person in HR has not been coming to the office, and my GM was terminated due to non-performance.

I have received a good job offer in hand. Any suggestions on what I should do next?

Hi,

Nice one. Congratulations. I am very happy for you. You have crossed all the phases of your life. After all, your company realized your dedication and potential. It's very tough to find a good HR person who can invest such a significant amount of time in a company.

Your company is lucky to have an HR professional like you.

Now, it's about your future. You have to make decisions for your future. Don't be emotional about your current company and role. If you believe you will have a better future (in terms of money, challenges, and a learning environment) with the new offer, go for it.

Dear Ritu,

You have made a decision, and you are the best person to decide if it's right or not. But frankly, I do not understand why you made that decision. Just picture this: the new firm you join. By joining, some of your juniors will feel the same way as you did here in this organization. So what is the alternative? Is it that they will quit and look for a change, just like you did? Just a thought.

Avi

Hey Ritu!

So, you seem to be in a fix again, huh? Well, it sure seems like a difficult situation. But then, as Avi said, you alone can make the best decision for yourself. All we can do is give you certain suggestions.

So what I suggest is:

1. Remain calm and analyze both the situations, i.e., your present job as well as the offer in hand.

2. Consider the pros and cons of both.

3. You have already been with this company for the last 2 years. Is it still worth it? Because tomorrow again, there may be a new HR Manager, and maybe this time, he is going to stick with this company. There are still chances you may again feel insecure about your job.

4. Then, there is this new job offer, where everything is going to be completely new for you. New challenges, new environment, new people to deal with.

So, you decide what you want. Where would you be happy? Because once you make a decision, there is no looking back. And then, it would be futile thinking, "I wish I had done something when I had a chance."

Honestly, I feel you should take up the new offer (of course, if it is good), but then hey, you are the one to decide!

I wish you the very best in whatever decision you may take. :)

Sushma Shetty
