Good morning, I have been working at a Telugu daily newspaper in Vijayawada for over 16 years. On 9th January 2012, a message was issued from my head office in Hyderabad to the branch manager of our Vijayawada unit in my department, stating that three members were to be transferred to Hyderabad with effect from 11th January 2012. However, our branch manager did not inform us about the transfers. It was only on the night of the 11th that he notified us about the transfers. At that time, we requested our general managers to provide us with time or to halt the transfers. They advised us to come to Hyderabad and request the management there to stop the transfers or provide more time. After seven days, they asked us to meet with the management. During the meeting, we were instructed to report to our Hyderabad office. We sought permission for a 10-day delay and explained that we would join after our pending salaries from October, November, and December 2011 were settled at our Vijayawada office. They granted us permission. Upon our return, we asked our branch manager to settle our salaries. Since then, he has been promising to do so in 2 or 3 days, but he has not fulfilled that promise.
