Read the following scenario and answer the THREE questions that follow.
Raman had been working tirelessly as a Project Manager in the IT department of Flying Groceries, a renowned app-based supply chain company, for the past three years. Having graduated from a top-tier engineering college, he dived straight into the corporate world, managing projects with great zeal that inspired his seniors.
At the end of his first year with Flying Groceries, impressed with his hard work, Raman’s boss, Suraj, the founder-CEO of Flying Groceries, fast-tracked his promotion and made him Delivery Manager responsible for multiple projects of a vertical. Suraj also promised Raman the position of Chief Operation Officer in the fifth year of his tenure.
In search of a greater career trajectory, Raman pursued entrance exams for business schools. His efforts bore fruits as he secured a place in the country’s best business school, known for a strong alumni base, stellar placement records and demanding academic requirements.
Raman was delighted; he had three months to join the business school. Flying Groceries demanded that any employee who wished to leave the organization should give at least a month’s notice. Raman decided to continue working and enriching his work experience, which will be beneficial when applying to companies after graduating from the business school. Therefore, he decided not to share the news of the offer with anyone else for the time being.
After a couple of months, Raman resigned. Suraj was shocked by Raman’s resignation and asked him to reconsider his decision. When Raman expressed his inability to continue, Suraj felt betrayed. This led to a series of heated arguments between them, and they swore to never work together again.
Raman joined the business school; however, he soon realized that that summer internship placements were approaching. Consequently, he would require verification of his responsibilities from Flying Groceries.
Which of the following actions is the MOST appropriate for Raman to obtain his verification?
Let's evaluate each option individually.
Option A: Attempting to mend personal relations with Suraj through unofficial means might soften the hard feelings between them, but it's not an appropriate way to obtain the required documentation. Additionally, there's no guarantee that writing an apology letter would improve relations or help Raman reach his goal.
Option B: Although more official and on-point compared to option A, this still doesn't guarantee a smooth process for Raman to obtain the required documentation from Flying Groceries. Even with official channels, Suraj might delay the process or downplay his responsibilities given the past conflict. While worth considering, we should look for a better option.
Option C: This would be the best course of action for Raman. Making it HR's responsibility to provide the valid documentation of Rajat's work removes the direct involvement of Suraj, eliminating the potential conflict between Suraj and Raman.
Option D: Asking a former colleague who lacks authority or power in the matter wouldn't significantly impact or expedite the process. Option C is a superior choice to this.
Option E: Similar to option A, trying to mend personal relations with Suraj is not an appropriate means for Raman to obtain his documentation. Therefore, this option can be eliminated.
Overall, Option C appears to be the most effective and appropriate course of action for Raman to obtain the necessary documentation.
Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
