Dear friends,
In the past, I used to wonder about certain general practices relating to treatment of employees above the level of workman followed in Private Sector employment and assuage myself that it was the rule of thumb and the fact of employees affected by such practices eventually becoming thick-skinned and impervious in due course partly because of the dearth of alternative employment in their place of choice and partly because of their their lack of employability.But, there is a seachange in the past quarter of the century in the state of affairs. Highly qualified youngsters pregnant with the passion for meeting challenges and cornering achievements flood the realm of private employment and mostly the mediocre dictated by the sense of security and psudo-pride prefer the monotonous Government employment. The managements also place more importance to the potentials of a prospective job-seeker rather than his experience.Such being the scenario, I have to be again wonder-stuck with the peculiar episode of Yogesh.I think both his erstwhile employer and the prospective one refuse to come out of their Victorean mind-set of empty formalities. He left the said Company in 2012 after fulfilling one of the conditions of unilateral termination on his part probably mentioned in the bond and in acceptance of the same by the erstwhile employer he was duly relieved.So, the question of breaking the bond does not arise for the management's covert refusal to issue the experience certificate. Perhaps, his resignation was due to his recruitment and subsequent appointment in the MNC. As such, there is no perceptible break in his career.So, I am at a loss to understand why the prospective employer insists upon the experience certificate by the penultimate employer. Had the Company gone out of existence, what he would do? Better, Yogesh explains the facts to the prospective employer to convince him and ask him to verify his so-journ with that company; if not dare enough to issue a legal notice to the erstwhile employer for experience certificate. At least, the reply will vouchsafe his experience with the former.
