The pandemic has forced us to switch our homes to office spaces. Besides the advantage of comfortably working from home, this setup has posed a serious inconvenience of blurring the boundaries between working hours and personal time. Mails, phones and meetings at odd hours have devoured the personal boundaries. Like so many other people, Amaan is also a victim to this situation. As a single parent and a son to an ailing mother, he
often is at the edge of breaking point due to this setup. Being the team leader, his major task is to communicate with the team members and coordinate between his team and the higher management. Most of his time is spent conducting meetings, explaining tasks to his team members, coordinating with the management and sometimes even communicating with the overseas clients which usually occurs at odd hours usually after midnight. This has been a continued practice for more than a year and a half. Amaan has decided to write a letter to the senior management to persuade them to make strict guidelines for employees, regarding the office communication, which should occur between 9am and 7 pm unless there is an emergency/ international caller to attend to. As Amaan, write a persuasive letter to the management 2.

In fact on numerous occasions she has been yelled at. Further, the discussions during the meetings have veered and are covered with innuendos, which she felt unwelcome to be part of. In fact few of the employees had insisted on taking her out for a private dinner which she declined and thereafter her performance has been rated ‘below average’. Hence, she reported this to her employer who has brushed aside her concerns stating that the issue does not concern employees of the software application company in which she is employed and that this may be an excuse for her ‘below performance’ rating.

He was proud of having his work recognized, but has some doubts about how he would like the new work. His former job as officer at Delhi Development Authority (DDA) involved regular contact with the general public, recoveries and processing their complaints, meetings with the press and image building. It was a high-profile job involving lot of exposure to media and publicity. With his job role he could build a good picture of DDA in the minds of the general public through advertisements, press conferences and television coverage highlighting the achievements of DDA in developing and constructing residential
and commercial properties in and around Delhi. His new job in the administrative wing as manager was essentially a desk job, working with files relating to the applicants registered for various housing projects coming up in North Delhi area. Rohit missed the routine of his old office and the people he had worked with. He had a private office now fully carpeted and air-conditioned, but he felt he really did not have the necessary background for the job. When he submitted his first report on the housing project to the Director, it was nice enough and the Director suggested some changes that in fact meant that Rohit had really got off the track. The Director said not to worry, “We all have to learn a new job”. The more Rohit thought about it, the more he wanted to go back to the old job. But he hesitated for fear that he would be branded ‘a misfit’ by management and thus disqualified for any future promotions. a.
