In a letter to the Chief Executive, Sushma Shetty Chawla expresses her dissatisfaction with the small increment she received compared to her experience and hard work. While she did not dictate who should receive increments, discussions of salaries among colleagues are difficult to keep private. She also notes some colleagues seem to treat her differently now, possibly due to feelings of superiority from higher pay. However, she has faith in the Chief Executive's fairness and will wait for her return from the U.S. to make a decision.

To
Mrs. Sumita Sen
Chief Executive
Bandra
Mumbai.
Dear Madam,
Thank you very much for your prompt reply. I would like to stress that at no
point in my letter have I tried telling you why or whom should get
increments. The only point being made was, I feel that my increment was
not in keeping with my experience and hard work. Let me also assure you
that neither me, nor my colleagues have been sitting and discussing our
salaries as such but between friends as you would very well know, such
things hardly remain secret.
Also rightly or wrongly, I have been feeling that some of my colleagues
treatment of me has changed of late which could be because of a feeling of
superiority.
All the same dear Madam, I have a lot of faith in your sense of fairness and
would like to believe that you would understand my feelings in this matter. I
would like to wait for your return from the U.S. to take the appropriate
decision.
Thanking you.
Yours sincerely,
Sushma Shetty Chawla
