Dispute with Employer

Hello,

I am working as a full time employee in Software Services company since 6 years. I have been a best performer and been getting promotions based on my performance.

Recently I had a dispute with my Supervisor and I have reported these disputes to my Supervisors boss. I have also bought to my management notice some un-ethical issues done by my supervisor.

Now, this supervisor has influenced a HR manager in my company and issued a "WARNING LETTER" to me stating that "...I am being engaging in sensationalizing trivial issues and in the process making allegations without any sufficient evidence.."

I found this "Warning" rediculouse and base less and one sided. This Warning Letter dose not mention any Proof from the other side as well. In my view this letter is just one sided and baised.

The company did neither considerd my best service nor my unquestionble integrity. This letter is given by influence of my supervisor on this HR.

Can I do any thing about this letter. I am hurt and feeling bad that the company did not consider facts while issuing this Warning Letter and undermining my credibility.

If It is vaible I am ready to hire a lawyer to persue this issue. Kindly advice

Please advice.

Thanks.

Submit a gentle reply to the warning letter and explain the facts and evidences if you have any. You should have a clean record. It is better if you gather the evidences and keep these ready with you in your personal file at home. HR may record the matter in your personnel file. Being  a pvt. Firm they may not allow you to examine your personnel file.

Although you have been working for 6 years, companies are highly sensitive towards disputes with superiors.

If you feel you are not heard and you have been hurt and in discriminated and may not enjoy continuing with this company, and since you are a performer at the moment , you may opt for better opportunities/ higher post with better remuneration in some other company.

Company shall loose a consistent performer with vintage and let them suffer with their loss. Companies may have large manpower but consistent performers are not too many. Companies in which majority of the manpower is of your vintage and is consistent performer become one of the top companies in their segment.

In today's environment companies do not marry the employees and employees do not marry the company.

The purpose of the suggestion is not to deter you to take up the matter.

If you have decided then you may submit a written gentle representation to your appointing authority, MD, Chairman, company secretary and narrate the incident in chronological order with date and details of the incidents and furnish the facts and evidences and mention that you have been performing consistently with an aim to grow with the organization, and your dignity has not been respected and cared for and that you have tried your level best to resolve the matter, and then to lodge your grievance respecting the levels of hierarchy in the company, and you have been constrained to bring the matter in the notice of their good office, and request for their intervention. It is almost certain that they shall organize a discreet enquiry and your peers and colleagues shall be contacted and minutes shall be recorded.

If you are not satisfied and you have organized a better opportunity for you, you can submit a notice of resignation under protest, or you can lodge a complaint with local office of the labor inspector.

Kindly study your appointment letter beforehand and draft your representations in consultation with elders in the family, well wishers, known experienced persons, or your lawyer/law firm.
