CASE STUDY
XYZ SOFTWARE COMPANY
Mr. Shankaran is the vice-president of this company. Mr. Negi is the Manager-HR, reporting to Mr. Shankaran. Mr. Negi is a bit rigid on the topic of increase in wages. He likes to stick to policy and does not entertain ex-post facto sanctions. On many occasions he has had arguments with Mr. Shankaran as well as other VPs and directors. Most of the times Mr.Negi has his way.
One day, Mr.shankaran called Mr.Negi.
Mr.Shankaran : Mr.Negi, Rohit, our hardworking software engineer, deserves a raise. I promised him a hike of 2 lac per annum. He is ready to switch over to another company,if he does not get a raise. And we don’t want to loose a talented employee. Therefore, please do make a salary revision letter and give it to him in the next two days.
Mr.Negi : Mr.shankaran, I cannot do that. Undue revision is against our policy. Moreover Rohit is already drawing 9lac, which is excellent for his level.
Mr.Shankara: I am the boss, so kindly do as I say.
Mr.Negi: Sorry sir, I can’t comply with your decision.
After a brief pause:
Mr.Shankaran: Mr.Negi, who is the in charge here?
Mr.Negi: You are sir.
Mr.Shankaran : Then do as I say. Issue the revision letter.
Mr.Negi : No, sir, I will not do it.
Mr.Shankaran : Mr.Negi, I have had enough of arrogance from you. You are Fired.
Mr.Negi : you cant do that!
Mr.Shankaran : I just did. Off you go.
Shankaran did not retreat from his position, Negi was removed from the company payroll that afternoon .
Q1) Discuss the style used by Shankaran. Was it effective? Were Negi’s need being considered? What kind of organizational climate was being created?
Q2) What could have been a better way to
handle this situation?
