Abstract

This is a case about a young MBA graduate who changed his job at the recommendation of his friend and his spouse who also worked in the same office. Nitish made a false start with the HR Department. The initial decisions taken by Meena from HR came to the notice of the senior people in the organisation and were perceived as incorrect. The negotiations with Nitish following the initial mistakes and intervention by the Head of Marketing, Mr. Kapoor, led to hurting the self-image of Meena, the most senior person in the HR Department. Meena and Nitish were unable to then reconcile the differences among them and things continued to go downhill from there for Nitish. The newness of the organization, the lack of key personnel at top positions, the advocacy of organisational procedures, the complex play of interpersonal relationships and clash of personalities all led to a situation where Nitish felt he was caught in a downward spiral.
