Dear Sourav Sadhu,
What has happened with you is quite unfortunate. This is a classic case of unprofessional behaviour from the so called branded companies. Nevertheless, you cannot lay the blame at their door steps too. You too were confused and have mishandled the matter. Please read my replies initelics to your text.
I have been selected for CMC Ltd, after giving 3 stage of interview, they have sent me the offer letter (22 may 2014), after our mutual agreed situation they offered me 5.2 LPA, after getting the offer letter in written, i had submitted my resignation to my current company,
No comments
But suddenly after 3-4 days they called me and said that i have to join them on 4.2 LPA or they will drop the offer. I wanted to know on what basis they are saying this, because on the basis of that offer letter i\'ve submitted my resignation,
This is the unprofessional behaviour of the highest kind. HR has penchant of talking about leadership and teaching others lot about emotional intelligence and so on. This incident shows how they blow hot and cold back home.
On that situation i was very much depressed and forced to withdraw my resignation from current company with a one year of service bond and apology mail.
Anyway, it was your decision to reverse your previous decision to resign. By making you to sign the bond, HR foreclosed possibility of you doing to them what CMC did to you.
After that i\'ve mailed to their MD & CEO Mr. Ramanan, and they called me for a discussion on last Friday 30th May, 2014 and tried to convince me that it was not their problem, i was stick to my opinion, and came from that place.
Nothing wrong if you had written letter to the CEO. However, why did you go for discussion. Letter was to keep inform CEO what happens in his company. HR of that company would never have informed of letting you down on their commitment.
on sunday (01/06/2014) they called me and said that i can join on the previous offer, on 2nd june.
What can be expected from these people who do not have firm feet on the ground?
But i am now bounded by their unprofessional and unethical attitude, still i would not join them after facing this kind of things, because it may be a trap. And by their inhuman behaviour i am now service bonded, i cant change my job for one year, and obviously i\'ve suffer very much mental harassment. I want justice for this situation. I had followed the hierarchy, but didnt get any effective solution. I just want some simple questions answer from CMC Ltd, please guide me the way.
This is your sheer frustration. Once you withdrew your resignation then you had turned your back to CMC. What the point in going for the discussion? Getting offer letter and subsequently getting second offer with reduced salary was irony of your fate. You could have swallowed this bullet and allowed your life to go on. Compromise is name of the game. In fact, nothing could have stopped you from uploading images on social media of two offer letters. You could have taught them a nice lesson. Today, social media is far more powerful tool. It is not only for exposing the sham activities of the politicians but of the corporates as well. What has happened with you is quite horrible and the incident should have been brought to light. Anyway, forget the incident and concentrate on your current job
Final comments: - We the HR are quite obsessed with jargon like workforce diversity, human potential management and so on. Nevertheless, many of us do not show common sense in routine activities. These very people go to five star hotels and in some seminar deliver lectures on leadership to others!
Thanks,
