Subject: Humble prayer before the CEO for adequate reparation upon Unravelling the humongous damage done to my career through the instrument called CR
Shri Nilim Baruah,
Sr. Divisional Manager, Tinsukia D O.
Sir,
With a heavy heart, I would like to lay before you (my immediate superior)
the following few lines:
1) I wish I had never found out what I have; for in that event I would
have been at least spared the excruciating pain and agony of being left
thoroughly astounded, drained, devastated and thus demotivated.
2) But having found out what I have, I am left askance as to what horrendous sin
of criminal culpability I had committed to attract such appallingly adverse rating/
grading (non-communicated) as to achieve the dubious distinction of scoring
(-)15.4 out of 45 in 2 successive years (2006-07 & 2007-08) under the parameter
called CR, from the distinguished dispensation headed by Mr. D R Sarkar, CRM, GRO.
3) Perhaps the adjective 'adverse' by itself will be an understatement in as much
as even amidst one's wildest nightmare can one hardly envisage breaking the base
threshold of '0' and sink further down the barrel to (-) 15.4 and yet kept unaware
all throughout as to the whys and wherefores that pushed him/her down (to) this
black hole (and hence tantamount to violation of the principles of natural justice)!
4) I am however still inclined to believe that something somewhere must have
gone horribly wrong by way of inadvertent mistakes/errors along the procedural
process at various stages and levels, which ought to be recommended suo motu for
rectification including Entries borne out of malice and prejudice (absolutely personal
and unrelated to performance and therefore malafide).
5) How come I could get 34.7 in the CR for 2008-09, when my assigned
operational domain was limited practically to Motor Claim (at Tinsukia DO) vis-a-vis a
much wider area of operation and of course contribution comprising, inter alia,
Marketing, Motor OD, CSD/CRM, Role of Regional Underwriter (Motor-Detariffing)
et al during 2006-07 & 2007-08 (at GRO). Anyone participating in the Conference
on Detariffing (Motor) at Parwanoo(HP) in late June 2006 will vouch for the quality
(or lack of quality) of my presentation-cum-representation of GRO in that Conference
and afterwards. Moreover, it was during this very GRO tenure that I got my 1st Stagnation
Increment (due from 01/06/2007), which could not have been possible but for SATISFACTORY
PERFORMANCE/WORK REPORT!!!
6) Having come thus far from the rank of Asstt(T), it is indeed beyond my realm of imagination
as to how and why I should be made a hapless victim of discrmination and deprivation
through assumption of the classic role of "Judge, Jury and Executtioner" by the distinguished
dispensation and that too without the Accused getting even a whiff of an accusation/accuser/
prosecutor - let alone a proper hearing and hence violative of the basic tenets of established
rules. More so, when the CRs are usually (in this part of the country) initiated, written, reviewed
and filed ex post facto and in this case sans "self-appraisal" as well (by the appraisee).
In view of the foregoing, I cannot but fervently urge upon you to so take up the matter
(with the appropriate authorities) that this ordinary but true NICian may at last get to see
the proverbial "light at the end of the tunnel".
Regards,
S J Bardhan, Scale-III,
