The company I work in is an Electrical (panels, relays, capacitors etc.) company and our dear Mr. M.D believes in Management by Exception. So anything which he thinks is not in place or being delayed unnecessarily is being noted as an exception by him which has an impact on the yearly Performance Appraisal. Today during a meeting with him he asked me about one activity which due to some confusion got neglected and after coming back from the meeting I got a mail from him with subject line: “Exception Noted” and at the end of mail “Explanations welcome!”. I got completely mad and sad by reading that mail coz I never handled that part of work and due to someone’s negligence it got reported as my exception. I thought for a while whether or not I should reply him writing I was not handling that part but then only one dialogue was running in my mind from the movie Spider Man, “Whatever life holds in store for me, I will never forget these words: "With great power comes great responsibility” Although, no great powers have been delegated to me but yes as a reporting head of HR department I have to take the great responsibility for every bits and pieces of work that has been done and not done. So whose neck should I grab now? Everyone has reasons for everything not done. But the point now is getting this neglected thing done by being as assertive and words coated with euphemism as the mail was.
It feels nice sometimes to see shock coming from nowhere all of sudden make you wake up and then express your feelings thru’ words
