However Vijay always looks forward for a transfer to the parent Plant Alpha as he feels he can get so much to learn there. Vijay is applying for the same from last 3 years. Every time he use to wait eagerly for the transfer list which usually displayed in July 1st of every year.

Eventually his name was not there in the list all the time. First two times he didn't took it seriously and waited for another chance. Subsequently when his application rejected for the third time he was absolutely disturbed.

Vijay got disappointed

Finally he decided that its time to speak with the HR team. He took an appointment where in during the meeting Mr. Sudan head HR, Ms. Kavery head Finance both were present. Curious Vijay directly started with the question "Why my name is not there in the transfer list"? "I want to know the reason for the rejection of my application". Even though there is no difference in compensation and benefits he still always wanted to be there.

Undoubtedly, both Sudan and Kavery were shocked by the tone and reaction of Vijay. Still they maintained the temper and tried to be cool. Kavery started "Vijay, You are one of the best performing employee in the department. You and David, your own classmate, Joined the organisation together. Still you got many training and opportunity for various courses than him, can you deny the fact."

Vijay is privileged

Vijay, actually got understood that he is privileged still he maintained the furious anger and said, "Yes it very true, but the fact is he got transfer in his second application. Now he is in Alpha and I am still here."

Sudan started, "But, Vijay why you apply for the transfer every year, the compensation, benefits, timing, culture everything is same in both the plants". There prevailed an absolute silence. Vijay broke the silence, "All are same, but the finance department is big there with lot many employees. I can perform more, I can shine more."

Kavery's Decision

Kavery Says, "Ok Mr. Vijay, Now I understood your issue. Being the head finance I am giving my Pre-concern, If MR. Vijay applies for transfer next year I don't have any issue in giving clearance to him". HR head was not convinced with the happenings because the fact is Kavery was the reason for his rejection of transfer.

Sudan Recollected

He recollected the conversation between him and Kavery on the transfer application of Vijay Kavery says, "Sudan, Vijay is very dynamic. In very young age he is excelling well. I want to mold him in various financial aspects. If we put him in Alpha he may not get the exposure in all aspects as the department is big. "

"Moreover", Kavery continues, Mr. Mohite who is sub head of finance will get retired in 2 years. So I wish Mr. Vijay to takeover the position." Now, Sudan taught both Kavery and Vijay are not in a situation to understand. So he planed that next day he will talk with both of them and make the things and intention of Kavery transparent.
