Employee Mental Harassment and Exploitation
I am Sachin Gupta and was working for yes bank as an officer in trade finance for close to about seven months at Gurgaon, Through this prestigious forum of yours I would like to highlight the Harassment and humiliation that the employees of yesbank undergo each day. The working environment in yesbank limited is very pathetic and hostile towards its employees.
-At the time of joining itself they ask (in an informal manner though) that you have to come at 8:30 in morning but your work may strech till 9 or 10 pm, but it actually is midnight or even later than that.
as per indian labour law the maximum working hours are 8 to 10 hours depending on various situations, but here they are asking for machines and not for humans.
-The way seniors show their leadership is giving bait to subordinates in the name of better appraisal or else late working hours and diassociating their names at the time of sharing the awards or appreciation, the people who have contributed and worked day in and day out are not even nominated for their effort, and then a mail comes from HR for self appreciation, who will come forward ??
-The selection criteria is no where, no standards at all - people with relevant experience and better education qualification are given low positions and paid less as compared to their fellow team-mates, how can you ask for the team spirit when there is so much of discrimination at the root of any organisation.
-Just before the appraisal you are ladened with larger volume of work and responsibilities and your inability scores over your capability - all these are unfair barriers to advancements in ones professional carrier as this hurts mentally a lot to a person who goes throgh all this and much more.
-New appointments are delibrately kept on hold so that a definite period elapses and the person who wishes to join can not be entitled to ask for appraisal just because the person has joined the organisation just two days late.
- I feel HR department now a days is kept for guarding the rights of the employees in a way that they can not use these rights at all because these are safe and secured in those documents which they make us sign before joining, what an irony we also sign all this because we think we may never use them, How positive we are in our approach.
-Even after the employee has left the organisation the feedback the HR and Managers give to other employers is again biased and not at all justifiable which hampers one's career. This show the very corporate and ethical values being nurtured herein yesbank.
I have some regrets that I should have done this much earlier but time has come and I feel obliged that I am taking some strong steps and going out of the way to unwrap and highlight what I have been through as this satisfies me of somewhat that I am.Not like the one to be sitting with my hands folded and waiting for some angel to get me out of this mental torture and harassment at the hands of yesbank.
Organisations with such petty interest do not refrain from reaching heights by ruining the careers and playing with the emotions of its own employees.My only concern in writing this is to bring before all of you the true face of company that boast itself to be first Indian multinational bank, world's bank, people's bank, World Quality bank etc. etc,
We talk about three P's i.e people, profit and planet but here it seems like organisations have got it all new and much more i.e Punish People for Profit and forget about this Planet.
