AM I THE 'RIGHT MANAGER' AT MY WORK? #WriteAPageADay


In the 1st Manager's Chamber..

"Sir! We 10 of us are totally sidelined in our career. We were given loads of work which we completed in time but when it comes to promotions, our names are nowhere. Why this second line treatment for us?"

"Ok.. I understand your problem and I too feel that you, the deserving ones did not get your promotions this time too. You see, when it comes to promotions, it is the bigger issue of the Organization and I've not much say in this other than recommending your cases strongly which anyhow I did!"

"Sir! How can you say so easily? At the end of the day, we are sufferers!"

"But what else I can do?"

"Do something or don't ask us work!"

"See.. I can't keep quiet if you don't work. And I can't get you promotions just like that!"

"Why?"

"How can I do that? My job is just... Sorry, I'm helpless!"

"You have powers.. You can do wonders if you want!"

"You think so.. All these powers are of no use, when we come to.... Got it? OK?"

Outside the Chamber..

"This man is no Manager at all. He is of no use for us. Let's go to our.......!"

In the 2nd Manager's Chamber..

"Sir! We 10 of us are totally sidelined in our career. We were given loads of work which we completed in time but when it comes to promotions, our names are nowhere. Why this second line treatment for us?"

"Ok.. I understand your problem and I too feel that you, the deserving ones did not get your promotions this time too. You see, when it comes to promotions, it is the bigger issue of the Organization and I've not much say in this other than recommending your cases strongly which anyhow I did!"

"Sir! How can you say so easily? At the end of the day, we are sufferers!"

"But what else I can do?"

"Do something or don't ask us work!"

"My job is to get work done.. Stop this talk and go back to your seats!"

"No.. We will not go till you promise something!"

"Remember, If you continue this, I have to issue" show cause notices to all of you!"

You have powers.. You can do wonders if you want. But don't bother at all!"

"Just go to your seats.. I don't want to hear one more word from you.. OK?"

Outside the Chamber..

"This man is a haughty Manager. He is of no use for us. Let's go to our.......!"

In the 3rd Manager's Chamber..

"Sir! We 10 of us are totally sidelined in our career. We were given loads of work which we completed in time but when it comes to promotions, our names are nowhere. Why this second line treatment for us?"

“Stop! I don’t want to listen to you all talk like this. Whatever you may be your problem, work is ultimately the most important thing here. All of you, I say.. 

Don’t waste your time and my time, have a Representative of yours and let that person explain your problem. Rest you all, now go back to your places. I don’t want any indiscipline in my Department.. OK?”

Outside the Chamber..

"Whatever it be, 
at one stroke he solved our issue. Actually we've no issue because as he asked, representing on this issue to the Top Management through our Membership Association was already done and everything was stated crystal clear in the Representation.

What else specially we have to ask now? We can only follow up our Representation and our Chief surely is going to ask us to do that!

He is the Right Manager!"
