Harassment at workplace by superior in a bank
Mr X is working in a Bank as a Loan Processing Officer. He was working under Mr Y who is Manager Sanctions. Both of them work under Mr Z Chief Manager. All of them are working in a reputed Nationalized Bank of India. During tenure of Mr X as Loan Processing Officer he is forced and pressurised by Mr Z in his work to recommend loans as per his wish and regularly asked to deviate from laid down systems and procedures of the Bank. When he dont accede to the unethical demands of Mr Z then both Mr X and Mr Y are threatened with dire consequences. Then Mr Z befooled a borrower Mr B into availing insurance policy with a promise to enhance his existing limits. However Mr B is a chronic defaulter and has pending SARFAESI proceedings against him. When both Mr X and Mr Y decline Mr Z to enhance the limits of Mr B then Mr X is threatened with transfer and sent on deputation twice and then transferred. Mr Z achieved all this due to the support of Mr A who is the Regional Manager and a very good friend of Mr Z. When Mr X is tired of this harassment then he files a complaint to Banks HR Dept through Banks laid down procedure and is shocked to know that Bank closes the complaint of harassment without conducting any investigation and the top management instead tries to protect Mr Z with the involvement of Mr A. Mr C also files a complaint as a Whistle blower for the unethical practices of Mr Z however the Vigilance Dept leaks the name of Mr X during initial stages of investigation itself. Mr X is totally unclear regarding the investigation of his Whistle Blower complaint as there is no transparency. Mr X escalates his HR dept complaint to next higher authority which choose not to reply to the complaint let alone take any action. Mr X is now working as a Branch Manager and he was forcibly transferred. Now Mr X is due for promotion and he qualifies in Promotion written exam. Mr Y who was the Reporting Authority of Mr X awards him AAA Grade that is the best for an employee. However Mr Z being Reviewing Authority downgrades Mr X to 2 grades below to A. This adversely affects the promotion of Mr X. Mr X knows that Mr Z is still targeting him even after his transfer. Mr X is tired of this harassment and wants to take legal action against this motivated actions of Mr Z to harass him continuously with the connivance of Mr A. What can Mr X do as no one in the organisation is carrying out any investigations for his complaints in a fair manner and top management is blindly supporting Mr Z. Mr X wants justice for the continuous harassment meted out to him by Mr Z in his work,posting,staff matters and now promotion. Please guide Sir. No hopes from internal machinery of the Bank.
