HI TO ALL: THIS IS TRUE INCIDENT.
I`M WORKING IN A MNC AT A METRO CITY IN INDIA. OUR DIVISIONAL BOSS IS A LADY 43 YRS OLD MARRIED . HER NAME IS Ms. Y (name changed). WE ALL KNOWS IN OUR OFFICE IS THAT Ms. Y IS OPEN MINDED, STRIAGHT FORWARD PERSON NORMALLY HELP TO ALL. BUT SHE IS ALSO VERY IMPATIENCE, RUDE, SHORT TEMPERED LADY. IF ANYONE MAKE MISTAKES ( we human beings do make mistakes) SHE SHOUTS ON HIM/HER VERY RUDELY IN FRONT OF EVERYONE. SHE HUMILIATES / INSULTS TO ALL IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE PERSON ON OTHER END FELT VERY DEPRESSED, DEMORALISED AND FIND NO INTEREST TO WORK FOR NEXT FEW DAYS. WE HAVE A LADY COLLEAGUE WHO WORKS AS A PROJECT COORDINATOR IN OUR OFFICE. HER NAME IS Ms. X (name changed) AGED 27 yrs MARRIED. FEW DAYS BACK MAY BE DUE TO SOME MISTAKES MADE BY Ms. X SHE WAS HUMILIATED, INSULTED, IN A RUDE MANNER IN FRON TOF EVERY STAFFS BY OUR BOSS Ms. Y. NOW WE ALL FELT THAT WHATEVER MISTAKES IF ANYONE DO MAKE , THIS SORT OF ACT BY OUR BOSS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. EVERYONE HAVE GOT THEIR OWN SELF RESPECT & SELF DIGNITY. OUR BOSS IS OUR LEADER. SHE MUST MOTIVATE, TRAIN THE STAFF AND HAVE A LEADERSHIP QUALITY, MUST BUILD A CONFIDENCE IN HER TEAM RATHER THAN HUMILATE/INSULT TO OTHERS. MY POINT OF QUESTION IS NOW:
1. HAD OUR BOSS WOULD HAVE BEEN A MALE ( say Mr. Y) AND HAD HE SHOWN THIS SORT OF BEHAVIOUR WITH Ms. X , THEN I`M 99% SURE THAT Ms. X WOULD HAVE LODGE A COMPLAIN AT THE POLICE STN CHARGING PHYSICAL / SEXUAL HARRASSMENT AT WORK PLACE. HOWEVER NO SUCH PHY /SEX HARRASMENT HAVE TAKEN PLACE EVEN BY Ms.Y ALSO.
BUT AS THE JOB IS MORE NECESSITY THATS WHY Ms. X HAVE TOLERATED QUITELY ALL THIS IMMERSING HER OWN SELF RESPECT / SELF DIGNITY. BECAUSE HER SERVICE IS HER NECESSITY (majboori). IF SHE COMPLAINS AGAINST HER BOSS Ms. Y , THEN Ms. X KNOWS THERE WILL HARDLY BE ANY ACTION TAKEN AGAINST Ms.Y AND HER SERVICE WOULD BE AT STAKE. SO THATS WHY Ms.X KEPT QUITE AND TOLERATED.
2. HAD Ms. X GOT THE SAME BEHAVIOUR (like she got from Ms.Y) AT HER MATRIMONIAL HOUSE FROM HER MOTHER-IN-LAW / SISTER -IN-LAW TYHEN I`M 99% SURE THAT AT THAT MOMENT Ms.X WOULD HAVE LEFT HER MATRIMONIAL HOUSE AND WENT TO HER PARENTS/GAURDIANS HOUSE AND FILE COMPLAIN OF 498A / DV ACT. SHE WOULDNT CONTINUE TO STAY AT HER MATRIMONIAL HOUSE. BECAUSE SUCH ACT AT HER MATRIMONIAL HOUSE WOULD NOT ONLY LOST HER SELF RESPECT BUT WOULD INCREASE HER EGO AND STUBBORNESS. TO TOLERATE IT AND KEEP QUITE AT HER MATRIMONIAL HOUSE IS NOT HER BINDINGS( majboori). SHE CAN IMMERSE HER SELF RESPECT AT HER OFFICE BUT CANT DO AT HER MATRIMONIAL HOUSE. BECAUSE TO LEAD A FAMILY LIFE IS SECONDARY FOR LADIES NOWADAYS AND IS NOT A MAJBOORI. NAUKRI KE LIYE LADY TO OFFICE MEIN MAAR KHANE KE LIYE READY HAI LEKIN SASURAL MAIN NAHI. SELF RESPECT/ DIGNITY VARIES FROM PLACE TO PLACE FOR SUCH LADY LIKE Ms.X . ITS NOT CLEAR CUT AND TRANSPARENT.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW UR VALUEBALE SUGGESTIONS THIS POSTING IS NOT FOR THOSE MARRIED WIFES WHO ARE LEADING A HAPPY AND PEACEFUL MARRIED LIFE AT THIER RESPECTIVE MATRIMONIAL HOUSE.
THANKS
