Hi all,
I have an experience of around 2.5 years. Recently, I joined a service-based company as a Senior Executive-HR. People here are not at all welcoming. The team members are telling me the negatives about the company from the very first day. They are saying that politics is the only way to survive here. All around me, there is so much negativity that I just want to quit this company. Please suggest.

Hi,
It appears that you are making decisions based on the influence of others. I suggest analyzing and understanding the culture, and giving yourself more time. Wherever you go, you will likely encounter employees with a negative attitude. Instead of following their lead, why not try talking to those who are truly productive and loyal to the firm? Engage with this group of employees as well before making a decision. It is crucial to envision your growth and stability within your current company. If the answers to these considerations are positive, then I believe you should face the challenges and take on the role of an HR professional to motivate these employees and help them overcome their negativity.
Thank you.

Hi Shilpy,
Thank you for your suggestion. I would also like to add that the CEO here is very strict about irregular shift hours. For example, if I come to the office at 10 and leave at 6:30, my team members and others say, "Don't leave before 8 or 8:30 as it will leave a negative impact on the CEO." I don't understand how just sitting in the office will make any difference.
Additionally, one of my team members is abusive towards the women in the company. He spreads false rumors about anyone who is earning well. I have confronted him multiple times, but he dismisses it by saying, "You will get to know about all this."
I believe I should escalate this issue to the seniors. This individual has taken a loan from the company, so he is confident that he will not be immediately terminated. He arrives at noon and leaves late, but if I am late, he threatens me by saying that the seniors will find out, and I will be in trouble. All of this is adding to my frustrations.
Please advise on how to handle this situation.

Dear Anonymous,
This is not a new thing that you came across, but it is happening in most cases. The existing staff of the Department considers a newcomer as a threat in a similar function or hierarchy. A web is spun by the person who has a feeling of insecurity at the workplace, and the reasons are best known to those concerned.
You will find the same person taking more interest in you, feeding you all the negatives, and giving the impression of being a well-wisher. You need to address your responsibilities well and not give others a chance to blame you. Maintain the office timetable strictly; when leaving, inform the concerned that nothing is pending. Frustration arises when your ego or inner self does not accept things as you wish. Try to eliminate this; however, do not let things overpower you. The people around may not allow you to reach the CEO, but something good about you as a newcomer can be noticed by the CEO. Continue until you get a new job, but do not make a hasty decision, as it could be fatal for you.

Take responsibility for all your thoughts and actions in your concern.
List all negative things in your concern and begin to challenge them as an individual. Let go of expectations for the time being. Forgive yourself and others for their wrongs and hate. Limit or remove all negative people on your colleague list. Keep moving forward with the goal of just doing your duty with sincerity and honesty at the forefront. Never talk politics with colleagues. Good luck.

This political thing happens in all organizations. Just wait until you experience anything personally.
Every employee has to work on time and leave on time, complete your work, and leave, which is good for appraisal time. Just inform your team leader or boss that you are leaving for the day and have finished your work. If he still forces you to sit in the office and wait for 2 more hours with no work, inform him that the next day you will be leaving, stating that you have worked according to your work timings.
If it's not too late, inform your previous employer to retract your resignation and consider you for the same salary offered if you would definitely like to leave the current one.
