ARBITRARY CHANGES IN ADDITIONAL PETROL REIMBURSEMENT SCHEME TO BRANCH MANAGERS

From the various circulars issued by our Corporate Management, you must have been realized, by now, that our Management is least sensitive about the feelings of the field functionaries / Branch Managers who are the pillars of our esteemed institution. The clear example of mockery of this is the circular issued regarding additional petrol reimbursement facility hitherto available is converted in such a way as a weapon given to the sanctioning authorities to decline the genuine claims.

FRIENDS, IT IS A CLEAR CASE OF HITTING ONE MORE NAIL ON THE HEADS OF BRANCH MANAGERS AND AT THE SAME TIME ENSURING A PINCH IN THE SHOES. 

We are reproducing a communication sent to our G.M. HRD on this blazing issue for the information of officer community.

Quote
We have come across yet another circular issued by the management as to the curbing of facilities without imagining pros and cons of such arbitrary decisions. Such approach is clearly exhibit that our management continues to indulge in actions violative of harmonious Industrial Relations in the Bank.

Management has suddenly came out with its decision to link the additional petrol reimbursement facility available to Branch Managers based on the STP / MTP performance and so called star awards. This decision is totally illogical and a step towards de-motivating the field functionaries and rather to block the business development activity of the Bank.

"It is believed in the Banks business development theory that to lose one customer, it takes few seconds and alternatively to gain one new customer it takes months together."

If our management believes on this simple fundamental fact, they would not have preferred to issue such a circular unilaterally. The way the circular is drafted, it is giving a message as if the procedure is simplified and to the benefit of the branch managers. Actually it is a weapon given to Sanctioning authorities to decline the claim of additional petrol. This is clear case of not evaluating the human assets in proper perspective. In other words, if you want productivity and other financial rewards that goes with it, YOU MUST TREAT YOUR BRANCH MANGERS AS YOUR MOST IMPORTANT ASSETS.

DEAR MANAGEMENT, DOES IT HAPPEN IN CENTRAL BANK OF INDIA? DO YOU TREAT EMPLOYEES AND OFFICERS AS ASSETS? TOUCH YOUR HEART AND SAY. HAVE THE COURAGE TO ADMIT THAT YOU DON'T.

The top management on one hand is instructing the field functionaries to be on the wheels and not to sit in the cabin and on the other hand stopping wheels by curbing the additional petrol reimbursement facility. It is also a feeling amongst the officer community that management is quoting examples of peer Banks as to their performance but keeping silent over the facilities available in those Banks. 

The wasteful expenditure at corporate level is reaching to new heights which should be the matter of examination and not curbing of such small gestures which will be the matter of gratitude. You will appreciate that not granting equal treatment to thousands is bound to result in serious industrial dispute.

We demand for restoration of earlier system of additional petrol reimbursement.

Officers are advised to be aware of this TRAP fabricated by the management. You can observe what an atmosphere is prevailing in our Bank. Can the officers be allowed to face such a treatment? Our organization feels it cannot be. No one relishes the struggle but when one is pushed to the wall, what choice is left?

Yours sincerely,
Sd/-
