Hi. 37 F married with no kids. Wanna share regarding my past job. I completed professional course and joined a big company in Tamilnadu and worked there for five years. I worked as an Assistant Executive and had three senior Top persons to report. During my fourth year, MD of that company called me and asked to do tough task what my senior would do that I was not expert since senior was on leave for 10 days due to emergency. As due date was near, I called senior to help regarding this. He shouted in phone and asked to do by myself. After getting help from my professional friends outside, I did it on my own. MD appreciated me and asked to do certificate course which is costly so that he would promote me to higher position. He also ready to sponsor amount for that course, I politely denied. With my own amount, I completed that course successfully and returned to office. At that time, MD was ill and his son took charge temporily. I thanked him and his son for their help. His son called me and said that he would promote me to higher position and gave more complicated tasks. I completed all tasks within timeline by working late in office. Two months passed, no promotion was given. On day, my nearby collegue called me and said that MD son selected a new appointee person from his caste and appointed her as VP with 4 times of salary and said that she is fresher and 2 years younger than me. I asked my seniors regarding this and they said that it was management decision and asked to work. I calmly gave my resignation letter and MD son called me and asked y to resign and said to continue work as I had no kids so lower salary was enough. I politely said that you said for promotion. He laughed and said that I was not competent to promotion role and I am from middle class and lower caste. I said thank you and asked to relive. He said that I came office by bus which was not good to sit in that position. He asked to work notice period for 4 months instead of two months. I did all works calmly for 4 months and new joinee joined after 4 months. I smoothly handed over all. His son humiliated me that I was incapable of that higher position. I then joined new startup company in other district and now working for 2 years with reasonable salary. Yesterday old company senior head called me from new number and asked can u rejoin. I politely said no sir. He said that new joinee decided to leave and asked me to join. He said that we only helped to complete the certificate course. I denied that offer. He said that ego is siting in my head and I must obey them. I thankfully say him that I am unfit for that role and ended the call. Please say am I do any wrong? Am I ego minded? I am crying what they did to me earlier. Please suggest what to to.

At least you politely declined if it were me, I'd humiliated them first, you chose yourself hats off to you ma'am. Keep going ;)
You did the right thing, no need to go back to the place where you were insulted and not promoted even after delivering projects on time. Choose peace of mind rather than higher salary in a toxic environment. You should move on in your life as you aren't liable to them for anything.
in today's world peace of mind, respect and happiness are the most precious things. do not loose them for money...
your career, your choice, no one else has a say in it
You did right! Never ever rejoin the company you leave! Seems like your older companies work environment was toxic. Who talks about caste that too in a corporate world?
Politeness is the way and also keeping your self respect 👌👌
No body does charity on nobody...we all live for our ego and self respect.....nothing is worth self respect...if the story is true you did the best thing...
Dont get everything in your head. Ask for 5x salary.
Why are you crying... Seriously you should laugh at them .. Tell them to their face that karma is a b!tch... Cheers smile and go on with your current company
You did the right thing. All the best to you.
Move on.. You are ✔️
Everyone deserve a career where work is appreciated and valued if anything misses then better to walk away
You have a great attitude Don’t worry about others. People will come searching for you
What you did is right..Don't go back. More power to you. Stay strong and clear.
Mam for this kaliyuga... Gandhisam is not the answer.. Karma give you a chance atleast to use f.. Word to him.... You missed it.... Godsey was correct...
Nothing wrong now only they know your valve caste has nothing to do here.....
You have done the right thing.. if they sponsor your certificate course it will be like you are in their debt which forcefully uses you as a slave for many years..
New surya movie story
You did the right thing...it is not ego it is called self respect...u shud have told the senior "look moron it is called self respect which u don't have but I have a lot and it is not ego" right on his face u shud have told him this, why to be polite with brainless idiots. U will get more success dont worry.
Who say such things yaar ita ridiculous why sisnt u go to labour court against them also..pls snr get doll when someone says course completion will help you with promotion
You absolutely did the right thing. Best wishes to you for your career! >> as I had no kids so lower salary was enough. >> What an idiot! Employee gets paid for the work they are doing. Not for the number of kids they have.
Promoted because of caste ?? Seriously does this happen in south of india ?? I’ve never heard such things in my life . Good you’ve joined a new company , never ever go there back again . It’s really disgusting to even know that these things exists
You seem to worked in Lala company!! You did good and that ego is needed. You dont owe them a thing
What a shitty company it is!!
Should have replied back no you didn't pay me anything and I don't want to work in a low class company like yours.
