This is not just a blog; it is an expression of the feelings of an employee who suffers while working with all their heart. One of my friends shared his experience and the pressure he is facing at work. Here is the experience in his own words:

Friend: I recently joined a corporate office as an HR Officer, and on the very first day, I met the managing director of the company. He seemed to be very friendly, and I thought I had landed in the right place. He mostly remains present at the project location, and it was a Friday on my joining day. He was supposed to leave for the project location on Monday.

He explained everything about the operations to me and assigned a laptop within two hours. I went home, and from the second day, I started training with my peers in the HR group. The first whole week was spent in training and understanding HR operations.

After a week, he came and told me that I was not performing well, and he started lecturing me. (I came out of the cabin and thought, "What happened to him in just eight days? Until now, everything was fine. In just seven days, he has measured my performance.")

After a few days, an employee resigned, and normally the full and final settlement happens within 45 days. On the very next day, he called me and asked why I hadn't completed the settlement for the employee who had left. He started shouting and blamed me, saying that I was deliberately delaying the settlement and that the resigned employee would file a complaint against the company for not providing the full and final settlement.

Another recent incident took place when he was on leave, and a heated argument occurred between two staff members. As an HR officer, it's my duty to take appropriate action in such cases. So, considering that he was on leave, I reported the matter to the HR head of the group company and issued a warning letter to the employee involved in the argument.

When he arrived at the office, he asked why I hadn't informed him about the argument. I replied that he was on leave, and I didn't want to disturb him.

I feel that the boss is insecure and has a lot of ego.

Does your boss treat you like this?

Conclusion:

The story of the egoistic boss highlights the unfortunate reality of some workplaces where employees face undue pressure and unfair treatment. In this case, the HR officer joined the company with high hopes, only to encounter a boss who exhibited insecurity and a considerable ego. The boss's behavior included criticizing the employee's performance without valid reasons, shouting and blaming others, and expecting immediate results without considering the normal settlement process.

Moral of the Story:

The moral of the story is that no employee should be subjected to such treatment in any office. It is crucial for managers and leaders to create a positive and supportive work environment where employees feel valued and respected. Pressuring employees, exhibiting ego-driven behavior, and blaming them without justification not only demotivates individuals but also hampers overall productivity and employee satisfaction.

It is essential for organizations to prioritize open communication, empathy, and fairness. Managers should encourage constructive feedback, provide necessary guidance and support, and address any concerns or conflicts promptly. Treating employees with respect and recognizing their efforts fosters a healthy work atmosphere and enhances teamwork and employee morale.

Remember, a harmonious and respectful workplace is the key to a motivated and engaged workforce, leading to collective success and growth.
