As
far as prospect of respectable job is concerned, Calcutta is seriously having a
dearth of it. By respectable job, it may be interpreted as, jobs, which can
earn you your bread, while you apply your level of calibre. On the other hand,
employers often find themselves in a situation, where they find it hard to
track down eligible and worthy candidate for their requirement.
It
may sound paradoxical, but a detail assessment of the situation will reveal
that, there are many reasons, like lesser number jobs with regard to eligible
candidate or sometimes it is more a case of overestimation on one’s part about
their propriety which leads to failure of finding each other. It is another
case that the cream of the crop is running away, towards more lucrative carrier
in other States, since those top notch employers are ambivalent to turn up to
our State. But this article though, is
not about discussing these issues, since there are many wise men capable of discussing
upon these issues more aptly and avidly.
This
article is an attempt to get an insight about the grief of general masses who are
in destitute owing to the dearth of job and how some pretentious employers are cunning
them. These filthy employers practically overruling every parameter for human
rights let alone labour laws of the land. Unfortunately, administrative vigilance
is nil and it appears sporadically when any mass mishap occurs and there is
hoopla in mass media reprimanding the administration. But then again, it goes
for hibernation once everything sedates. Sadly, persistent vigilance and
application of laws towards protection of employees, against deceitful
employers is nowhere to be found.
It
may be supposed that, this phenomenon not only hold true for West Bengal, but
there are many places having similar issues. Yes, may be, but having the
firsthand experience and having witnessed such issues around, I can only talk
about Calcutta here. For instance, a few years back, I, myself happen to be
associated with a Company based at New Alipore, Kolkata. I’ve seen candidates
walking-in with eyes full of dreams of bright future and eventually leaving or
rather compelled to leave with shattered dreams. Reasons are many, non-payment
of agreed salary, and sometime no payment of salary over length of time,
ludicrous job allocation, whimsical and impractical departmental changes (don’t
get mislead by that! All the departments
are on paperboard!!!), to name a few. Once left, settlement is like chasing
wild goose. Many employees have resigned
to their fate but few like us, who persuaded even after getting threats got
their penny but after truncation, with some silly reasoning. It is not that employees did not knock the
doors of administration but nothing yielded.
Most
importantly companies less known as this one is, one has to go by what he comes
across their websites about their nature of business. There lies the trap!
Until you are part of the system or a victim yourself, you will never know that
what they proclaim are blatant lies. On
top it, finding that the nature of business is murky and questionable one, is grossly
uncomfortable. But without documentary
evidence nothing can be done by an individual. Role of various Administrative authorities
supposed to keep tab on any activities of organization becomes utterly important
since they can get a catch hold of these maleficent business communities
harming every aspect of the society and bringing disrepute to our state.
Otherwise, days are not afar, when this smog will completely engulf our
society.
