Harsha and Franklin both of them are post graduates in management under different streams from same B School. Both of

them are close to each other from the college days itself and the same friendship is continuing in the organisation too as they

are placed in the same company, Hi-Tech Technology solutions. Harsha placed in HR department as employee counselor and

Franklin in finance department as key finance executive. As per the grade is concerned both are at 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 of them as they are equally talented and constant performers. Harsha felt that

now a day’s Franklin is not like as he use to be in past. She noticed some behavioral changes with him. During general

conversations she feels that Franklin is taunting her that she is famous among the employees in the organisation in the other

hand he is not even recognized by fellow employees.

One morning Mr. Mehta General Manager Hi-Tech Technology Solutions shocked while goimg through the mail received from

Franklin about his resignation. Mr. Mehta called Harsha immediately and discussed about the same as she is close to Franklin.

By hearing the news Harsha got stunned and said that she do not know this before she also revealed her current experience

with him. Mr. Mehta who doesn’t want to loose both of them promised her that he will handle this and he won’t allow

Franklin to resign.

In the afternoon Mr. Mehta took Franklin to Canteen to make him comfortable. After some general discussion he starts on

the issue. Franklin, after some hesitations opened his thinking in front of Mr. Mehta. The problem of Franklin is:

1. When he comes alone to canteen the people from other department don’t even recognize him but if he is

accompanied by Harsha he gets well treated by others.

2. One day when 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 get more value. Thus many a 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 same qualification, from same institute, passed out in the same year both with first

class. We have same number of experience in this organisation. More over the responsibilities with me are more valuable

than that of Harsha. After all this things if I am been ignored or unrecognized by the fellow employees my ego does not allow

me to continue here”.

After hearing the statement Mr. Mehta felt that it is not going to be very difficult to stop his resignation. Mr. Mehta explained

Franklin the reasons for such partial behavior of the employees. After listening to Mr. Mehta, Franklin said sorry for his

reaction and he is ready to take back his resignation. He called Harsha and spoke with her like before.
