Q.5
DIGITAL INFO SYSTEMS LTD.
During a Sunday morning in the golf club of the company, while playing golf
with his friend Mahesh Mundra, Harish Kumar discovered that his
department had hired a fresh university computer graduate (BCA) for the
post of a system analyst ? with a starting salary almost as high as of harish.
Although Harish was of good nature, he was totally shocked and upset. It had
taken him five years to become senior systems analyst and attain his current
salary level in the Digital Info Systems Ltd. He had been generally pleased
with the company for its pleasant work environment and professional culture.
He has been thoroughly enjoying his job in the company.
The following Monday morning, Harish met the chief of the HR department.
He enquired about what he had heard from his friend whether that was true.
Mr. Yogesh Sathe, the HR chief apologetically admitted that it was true and
tried to explain the company?s situation. He told Harish that the market for
the system analyst is very tough these days and it is difficult to find a right
person after so many advertisements. In order to attract qualified prospects to
the company, he was to offer a premium on starting salary. We desperately
needed another analyst and this was the only way we could get one. Since
you are too much overloaded, we wanted to reduce your burden.
Harish asked Mr. Sathe whether his salary would be adjusted accordingly
now. Mr. Sathe replied that your salary would be revaluated at the regular
time with others. You are doing a great job, and I am sure that your boss will
definitely recommend a raise for you. Harish thanked Mr. Sathe but left the
office shaking his head and wondering about his future in the company. He is
seriously thinking to quit the company and has to examine various lucrative
standing offers he has with him.
(a) What is the problem in this case? 07
(b) Was it wrong on the part of Mr. Sathe to give a different package to the
new system analyst? Why? Why not?
07
OR
Q.5 (a) Do you think Mr.Sathe?s explanation was satisfactory? Discuss. 07
(b)
How can you motivate Harish? 07
