I am working as HR in an organization for one and a half years. The company I work for was completely unorganized and really messed up when I had joined. During my tenure, I rectified everything that was wrong, prepared proper company policies in writing, and assigned clear job roles. The Managing Director of my company is very impressed with my work, and I got promoted. However, I am being targeted by the senior managers who, due to the properly organized culture, cannot engage in their wrongdoings, including my General Manager (to whom I report). My GM is trying to force me to quit my job. Although our MD appreciates me, he does not want to get involved in this situation.

I feel that HRD in India needs more respect and power. I would like to invite your opinions and advice on the above matter.

"First Deserve Then Desire" was the Baton of Lesson passed on to me by a superior when I started my Expedition/Initiation in Human Resource (basking in the glory of energy and intelligence of human beings) Management, as it were. After years, I am not so sure that the state of or the tip is scaled by me. Nevertheless, the impression crafted in the minds/memories of those I interacted with is akin to "trompe-l'oeil". My people I worked with in Tata Steel and elsewhere, including Mumbai, lived under the spell that I, to them, was helpful.

Let professionals, like you and me, and the entire HR community/domain continue to do our best. Our best shall be good enough for the organizations who exist, strive, and thrive to create wealth and well-being for all the stakeholders. Courage counts.

I trust you have a point to ponder and pursue.

In which way are you being targeted by senior managers? You need to document their behavior and keep informing your HOD about such issues wherever necessary. How is your GM trying to make you quit? Just be calm and do not fall for traps and tricks to make you angry and violate company decorum/rules.

"Our MD, though appreciates me, doesn't want to get involved in this." This is a serious warning sign that if the crunch comes, the MD will sacrifice you. Look around for a change of job. Your attempts to bring things in order were secretly unwelcome in the company, including by the MD also.

Dear Neeta,

It's good that you organized all the HR policies and that need to maintain office decorum. The MD of the company appreciated you for this initiative, and his purpose was based on your recruitment in the organization. The MD of the organization is well aware of the uneven work in the office, and you became what he desired.

So, don't worry about your GM's behavior... your good work will give you backup. You need to stand by your goodwill; no one will harm you.

Thanks,
