Question:

Mary and Ali both of them are postgraduates in management under different streams from the same B-School. Both of them are close to each other from the college days itself and the same friendship is continuing in the organization too as they are placed in the same company, Hy-tech technology solutions. Mary placed in the HR department as employee counsellor and Ali in the finance department as a key finance executive. As per the grade is concerned both are at the same level but when responsibility is concerned Ali is holding more responsibility being in core finance.
By nature, Mary is friendly in nature and ready to help the needy. Ali 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.
Mary felt that now a day's Ali is not like as he uses to be in the past. She noticed some behavioural changes with him. During general conversations, she feels that Ali is taunting her that she is famous among the employees in the organization, on the other hand, he is not even recognized by fellow employees.
One morning Mr. Michael, General Manager of Hy-tech technology solutions shocked while going through the mail received from Ali about his resignation. Mr. Michael called Mary immediately and discussed the same as she is close to Ali. By hearing the news Mary got stunned and said that she does not know this before she also revealed here current experience with him. Mr. Michael who does not want to lose both of them promised her that he will handle this and he won't allow Ali to resign.
In the afternoon Mr. Micheal took Ali to Canteen to make him comfortable after some general discussion he starts on the issue. Ali, after some hesitation, opened his thinking in front of Mr. Michael. The problem of Ali is:
i) when he comes alone to canteen the people from others don't even recognize him but if he accompanied by Mary, he gets well treated by others.
ii) one day 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.
iii) Even in meetings held in the office, the points raised by Mary will get more value so many times. He keeps silent in the meeting.
It happens to Ali that he has to face such degradation in each day of work which totally disturbs him. Ali also questioned that " Mary and myself have the same qualification, from the same institute, passed out in the same year both with first class. We have the same number of experiences in this organization. Moreover, the responsibilities with me are more valuable than those of Mary. After all these things if I am been ignored or unrecognized by the fellow employees my ego does not allow me to continue here".
By listening to this statement Mr. Micheal felt that it is not going to be very difficult to stop his resignation. Mr. Michel explained Ali the reasons for such partial behaviour of the employees.
After listening to Mr. Michel, Ali said sorry for his reaction and ready to take back his resignation. And he called Mary and spoke with like before.
