Always be on your toe to leave the company

Management pushes the employees..... employees should always push back...

Keep searching opportunities in the market and forward any offer letters you get from the competitors.

Management primary concern to safegaurd their profits. Then employees concern should be increasing their salaries.

Push them back!!

Biggest lie in Cotporate World
by ARUN GUPTA on Jan 06, 2015 12:30 PM

It is not only happening in TCS or IBM, it is happening in most of the companies- Big, middle and small. It is not a new thing, it is happening for quite some time. Previously in a Japanese company an employer was treated as the father figure and employees as members of a large family. Employees used to work in the same company from the start of the career to retirement. Today that has also changed. It is very common in USA where the boss, when feels threatened by her subordinate's performance asks the subordinate to resign on a flimsy ground and specially when subordinate is better qualified than her.
Another lie very often told by Employers is " SKY IS THE LIMIT". What they do not say is "..., but do not try to cross my knee height."

This is nothing unusual

This is fine. Everybody has to understand that the employee has to work for his salary being paid to him. If course he has to work sincerely and give his output having agreed for it.

There is no other relationship between employee and employer. All the other terms are Management gimmicks thru HR ( 'employees are the biggest asset"). THis is only a marketing of the organisation to the employee. Just listen and take your appropriate decision. Do your work with dedication and look into your personal interest for the benefit of your career and continue / leave

Sad situation but a FACT

Good article. An eye-opener for those who talks high about their organization.

HR dept. should be scrapped..they are just puppets controlled by management/promoters.

Afinity gone

Western concept is creeping in our management. Management and employees are just acting, to please each other. Real employees affinity gone.
It is just contractual obligation and a hand shake. It can be broken in either way. All that you need a genuine reason to part with and modified reason to inform. It will create social tension in the long run. All gimmicks will not be remembered for long.

companies are able to recruit cheap labour from the market hence this problem new recruits can be made experts and then shunted out for freshers
