ETHICAL COMPLEXITY

Ethical Complexity IE BUSINESS SCHOOL

2009 .. MY FIRST JOB CHANGE FROM ERICSSON TO TECH MAHINDRA …

I WAS ON TOP OF THE WORLD .. REALLY EXCITED !!

Hell Broke Out for me .. In just few days of Joining

• I came to know that my Boss discriminates women like anything …

• He is firm believer that Women .. Just can`t do Telecom .

• Only reason I get hired because he wants to meet some of his KPI of gender balance in Company .

• Purposefully I was always getting assigned for all DESK JOBS .. Preparing reports , excel sheets & WHAT NOT ..

START SEARCHING FOR A NEW JOB

I WAITED FOR SOME TIME AND STRUGGLED FOR RIGHT OPPORTUNITY

TO SHOWCASE MY STREGTH AND CAPACILITY .

AND .. THEN COMES THE OPPORTUNITY THAT I WAS LOOKING

FOR .. WE GOT A REQUEST FROM AN EUROPEAN OPPERATOR TO

SUPPORT THEM FOR AN CRITICAL NETWORK ELEMENT INTEGRATION IN THERE NETWORK .. THEY WERE

RUNNING BUSINESS UNDER REGULATORY NOTICE ..IT’S A MAKE OR BREAK SITUATION for THEM . All

MY BOSS FAVOURITES REFUSE TO TAKE THIS UP DUE TO CRITICALLITY

INVOVLED .. THIS CAN EASILY BE TURNED INTO YOUR LAST

ASSIGNEMNET IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG .. THERE WILL BE NO

QUESTIONS ASKED ..

I DO IT BECAUSE I CAN . I CAN BECAUSE I WANT TO .I WANT TO BECAUSE YOU SAID I COULDN’T

I WORKED DAY AND NIGHT . . CUMULATIVELY SLEPT FOR 10/12 HOURS IN A WEEK .

IN FIRST CUSTOMER MEETING I HAVE PRESENTED THE FACTS TO CUSTOMER THAT CUSTOMER ITSELF WAS NOT SURE ABOUT .. I HAVE SUGGESTED THEM A WAY TO FIRST MITIGATE THE EXISTING ISSUE .. TO STOP THE HUGE PENALTY THEY ARE PAYING TO REGULATORY EVERYDAY & HOW TO MODERNIZE THE NETWORK IN JUST FEW WEEKS .
