Q.1. Long Answer Question: Case Study of 25 Marks Each

Harsha and Franklin both of them are postgraduates in management under different
streams from the same B-School. Both of them are close to each other from the
college days itself and the same friendship is continuing in the organization too as
they are placed in the same company, Hy-tech technology solutions. Harsha placed
in the HR department as employee counsellor and Franklin in the finance
department as a key finance executive. As per the grade is concerned both are at
the same level but when responsibility is concerned Franklin is holding more
responsibility being in core finance.
By nature, Harsha is friendly in nature and ready to help the needy. Franklin is silent
in nature ready to help if approached personally and always a bit egoistic in nature.
They have successfully completed 4 years in the organization. And management is
very much satisfied with both as they are equally talented and constant performers.
Harsha felt that now a day’s Franklin is not like as he uses to be in the past. She
noticed some behavioural changes with him. During general conversations, she feels
that Franklin is taunting her that she is famous among the employees in the
organization, on the other hand, he is not even recognized by fellow employees.
One morning Mr. Mehta General Manager Hy-tech technology solutions shocked
while going through the mail received from Franklin about his resignation. Mr. Mehta
called Harsha immediately and discussed the same as she is close to Franklin. By
hearing the news Harsha got stunned and said that she does not know this before
she also revealed here current experience with him. Mr. Mehta who does not want to
lose both of them promised her that he will handle this and he won’t allow Franklin to
resign.
In the afternoon Mr. Metha took Franklin to Canteen to make him comfortable after
some general discussion he starts on the issue. Franklin, after some hesitation,
opened his thinking in front of Mr. Mehta.
The problem of Franklin is
1) when he comes alone to canteen the people from others don’t even recognize him
but if he accompanied by Harsha he gets well treated by others.
2) one day Both of them entered the company together the security in the gate
wished them but the next day when he came alone the same security did not do so.
3) Even in meetings held in the office, the points raised by Harsha will get more
value so many times he keeps silent in the meeting.
It happens to Franklin that he has to face such degradation in each day of work
which totally disturbs him. Franklin also questioned that ” Harsha and myself have
the same qualification, from the same institute, passed out in the same year both
with first class. We have the same number of experiences in this organization.
Moreover, the responsibilities with me are more valuable than those of Harsha. After
all these things if I am been ignored or unrecognized by the fellow employees my
ego does not allow me to continue here”.
By listening to this statement Mr.Metha felt that it is not going to be very difficult to
stop his resignation. Mr. Mehta explained Franklin the reasons for such partial
behaviour of the employees.
After listening to Mr. Mehta Franklin said sorry for his reaction and ready to take
back his resignation. And he called Harsha and spoke with like before.
