Hello HR friends,
Today, I would like to put before you one problem which happened with me and request you to
please comment on it. Please dont view it and leave without commenting. This problem even you
might have faced, facing , or would face in future somewhere in your work life.
When I was working in this XYZ company, we used to take apprentices for one year, and train them, made them work , they were paid stipend, and they were strictly taken for one year only. It was very rare that any apprentice rose to become permanent. 01 in 100.
I was working as HR Trainee, my period was also for only one year.
HR dept used to consist of only the HR manager and ME, and we had 3 plants in same campus..so much much workload..
We had this apprentice, who was a very good friend of mine, we gelled very much,, as he was from my homestate, that too was a reason for our deep friendship. He also had come to my house,, and we used to have lunch together in canteen... and had fun and frolic. together...
Now I was the main administrator of leave and attendance for all employees, trainees and apprentices... Everything was in my hands.
Now the thing is that we had a system in which the salary of only apprentices used to be cut if their leave used to exceed the quota given to them. We trainees and employees had quota but even if it exceeded, no cut used to be there from our salaries... the person who can cut the salaries of apprentices was ME and even my boss used to discourage me to cut the salaries of apprentices.
So this frnd of mine used to take lots of leave and go here and there searchign for jobs,, i as a strict employee marked all his leaves and when his leaves were over i told him that his LWP is to be done,, this frnd told me taht ravi u pls adjust it,, as it would cause him loss of pay... i already knew that the records maintained in company were not good, accurate and we rarely claimed the stipend given to apprentices from APP Board. But I was a very strict and true to my job employee,, i told our other frnd to tell this frnd strictly to comply with the rules and give a leave form as he was not giving,, then after our other frnd told he gave his leave form,, on which i marked LOP... like it is not that this frnd wanted to misuse his frndship with me,, i know that his heart was clear and he was perfect in his job,,, but somewhere i thought this would not be ok in interest of my loyalty to the company..
Many times I used to consult my boss regarding salaries of apprentices [ de were ITI and 12 passed ] and had salaries of Rs.1070 or 1500 only and in this they used to stay in rented room and as they were outsiders they had to arrange their accomodation ,food, etc in only meager 1000 rs.. and the company used their services to a great extent,, . so my boss used to tell not to cut their pays even if their quota exceeds,, I also used to fire the apprentices who used to come late, be repeatedly absent... but dis frnd was just like frnd to me,,, after his period got completed ,, and after one - two months my period got completed....
now i think that there was no need at all for being too loyal to the company,as may be i gained nothing from , as i never got any appreciation for any work done,, the apprentice is still my friend,,, but may be if you tell what should a HR do in this case,,,
Now even in my current company I have some friends, but I never allow them to access my computer,, or look at my papers as in my profile im handling documents of very sensitive / confidential importance type.. in my current profile I know that I can never be disloyal to my job,whatever may come , because of its importance and trust put in by my seniors ,and may be because of the environment that I am getting here,,, ,
but the old job was just for some XYZ which is not at all worth being loyal and that too,, for one year period..
So dont assume that from now onwards I have decided not to be loyal / sincere to my job,, i just want to say that the above XYZjob was not worth being too loyal....
even u must have relaxed / broken the rules for some good frnds working with u... [dont say no,, ]
