Baniye Ki Dukan


Everyone likes to work in a BIG MNC, and are always encouraged and motivated to grab an offer from a MNC’s, of course anyone who is looking for a career in Job / as a salaried person will always be dreaming to be working in a BIG MNC.

How if such dream comes true and you get in to such a desired job but later realize that it’s working culture matches of that like of one nearby Patel’s Grocery Shop and employs are even required to ask for all small things for which they were free to take decision in previous organization.

Recently one of my friend came to my place for dinner, while sharing casual talks of career and job he shared some incidents occurred with him with his senior management which make me write this article.

He is working with this MNC for almost now 2 years and when we use to talk at earlier days he was very excited with the job and the role he was handling.

However, in his recent meeting with me he was not only discouraged but his overall interest in his work was lost, he further explained that this similar situation with most of his coluges        

He went on to explain how the things changed few months back when a senior management personal joined the organization.

The new senior was not his reporting officer but being in the senior position he started interfering in every activity of all the department. Earlier his interference was taken as input but slowly this interference grown in level that for every small thing they need to have his permission.

This was felt to other senior managers but were not able to do much.

The said the treatment of employees was becoming equivalent to those who were working in a Baniya Grocery shop like how a boy in baniya shop must show MRP of product to shop owner before he hands over the same to customer.

It was understood that every employee has his specific free space of work where they know what and how to interact with client /any other internal or external matter related to company.

But this interference had made everyone think again with continuing their career with the MNC and in Last 2 years he explained 25% of employees left for this reason and many are further planning.

I consoled him and said not to take the decision in haphazard manner.

I concluded that because you have given the right to interfere someone in your work area they are now controlling everything you do.  

Management at more senior level must take note of such activities and have make line between operations of various department.

Every company works for common goal of making profit, internal connectivity and communication is key to this however this communication must have lines drawn as every individual has his best of performance when given a free hand.

This could be happening with you too please share your thoughts and share the credits.
