In the dimly lit Zonal Controlling office of the Pragati bank, tension crackled like electricity. Sitting across from each other, the woman, Shipra Sharma, and the overseeing executive of HR, Mr. Toppo, engaged in a heated conversation.
Shipra's eyes burned with determination, her hands clenched into tight fists. "But sir this isn't fair!" she exclaimed, her voice echoing off the sterile walls. "I've worked tirelessly for this promotion and in my last posting I have completed the mandatory quota of rural service. And now I am learning that even after clearing the written exam I will not be eligible for promotion because of some technicality."
Mr. Toppo leaned back in his chair, his expression unreadable. "Shipra, I understand your frustration. But the category of the last branch you were posted to was changed to URBAN by the Head Office. Therefore, the final six months of your tenure will not count towards your rural service requirement. To qualify for promotion, you must fulfill the full 36 months of rural service.You'll be placed on the waiting list for upcoming regular promotions. Once you fulfill the mandatory term of rural service, your promotion will be given priority."
Shipra shook her head, her frustration palpable. "I know the rules, Mr. Toppo. But isn't there some way to make an exception considering my performance over the years."
Toppo sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "I sympathize with your situation, Shipra. But rules are rules "
Taking a moment to observe her resigned and desperate expression, he resumed, "Upon further consideration, though." Mr. Toppo's words dripped with an unsettling mixture of desire and presumption, "I have certain connections at Head Office. Join me for dinner, and I could pull some strings for you. Who knows, if things go well, you might end up UNDER ME. I mean instead of getting transferred you can work here in my section. I... I mean, We really need someone as talented as you." His lips curled into a sly grin, revealing yellowed teeth that seemed to gleam with malice. His unkempt appearance, with greasy hair slicked back from a receding hairline, only added to the aura of sleaze that surrounded him.
Shipra's stomach churned with revulsion as Mr. Toppo's words sank in. The offer reeked of manipulation and exploitation, leaving a bitter taste in her mouth.
