Hi My sincere thanks for all the congratulatory messages that I've received. Finally I am seeing the good days at work yet again, and my contribution is duly recognized by the new manager. Thanks for all the support given by AI during my tough times. I wish AI all the very best for all it's future plans and endevors.

Good to learn about the change of guard at your work place. The same old rivalry, one female not being able to stand another one . On a serious note, it certainly happens subjective factors takes over to an otherwise objective decision. All in all good and sincere efforts shall get duely recognised and you shall see the light of the day at the end of the tunnel. Like it or not we have to saddle ourselves with a huge sack of patience. The pain of enduring it withers out as soon as we taste success. Keep up with your 200% efforts. Warmly Harish. ----- Original Message ----- From: "parimala shinde" To: Sent: Monday, March 31, 2008 10:54 AM Subject: Re: [AI] IT sector starts shedding its differently abled resources. > Hay list!!! > > Sorry for the late reply > > It feels great to be writing to the list after a long long time. > > I remember posting my greeviences about the same on to the list a year > back, where I briefly explained the kind of discrimination 1 of my hearing > impaired friend and myself went through. > > Let me share the good news with all of you. > > Our performances have bin recognized, and we have bin converted to fixed > term hires from short service providers. > > And with the passage of time, we would even be converted to regular > employees. > > So, there is no need to worry about the job security for the differently > abled IBMers if the performence is good enough. > > I also remember writing to the list about the hostile manager who > pledged to destroy my career at IBM. > > I am thrilled to declare that my life at IBM is quite safe as the lady is > moved out of my team, and my new manager is completely confident about my > capabilities. > > Hope to hear some good news from all of us in trubble at work.> > Thanks and regards > Parimala >> >> Hope the list members recollect an issue I had raised about six months >> back - about the so-called new employers of the differently abled, the IT >> & ITES companies, keeping the disabled resources on long periods of >> contract, without confirming them. >> >> The ensuing discussion had centred on the benefits of the contract system >> and how it was really progressive.
