After Financial Torture, Emotional Torture Continues ....


Hi Everyone,

What is more upsetting now a days is the way the CTVA + Mara – ISON team is working hand in glove to ensure they do not leave any stone unturned in harassing/torturing their existing staff and also the past employees. Looks they are working on the emotional angle now following the leads from CIA movies etc

Let me tell you how..

1.       First most of the staff who left or stuck with CTVA were not paid atleast Quarter of the yearly salary ( 3-4 months ).
2.       Then their taxes , PF are not yet deposited, while few lucky ones made it into the tax/PF system ( 0.1%).
3.       Now most of them are coming of in their new jobs, healing their wounds, while keeping the fight on with the system, CTVA MAFIA and their supporters in recovering the dues.

So where is the harassment coming into play … here it comes…

1.       Recently over the last 2-3 weeks CTVA+MARA-ISON jointly is making frantic efforts to call all the ex-employees and luring them with a 25% minimal raise.
2.       That is not all, the key members are sent with the offer letter , with a blank number , giving a range and asking them to come back and participate in the revival of CTVA.
3.       The company and their loyal guards , are even going to extent of offering jobs OUTSIDE INDIA for the employees located in INDIA, and incentivizing them to take it up ASAP.
4.       While in all the above context, there is NO MENTION , still of the outstanding historical payments .. isn’t that more than torture ..or shall I quote an Hindi saying “Jaley pey Namak ..” translating it to” Salt on wounds…. “

So why so much meherbaani ( benevolence …) been thrown up on the ex-staffers, few insider data again…

1.       CTVA has lost good amount of customer base, or shall I say customers are not paying / renewing the contracts for MS, Support etc.
2.       Recent lost accounts are NAWRAS ( Oman ), ASIACELL ( IRAQ), UMOBILE ( Malaysia ), VIVA (BAHRAIN), VIDEOTRON ( Canada), ELION ( Europe), NEXTEL ( USA), T-MOBILE ( GERMANY) .. all in the last few months. Few of the above accounts were as old as the company itself.
3.       This makes the new investors / buyers ( I really doubt if any money was paid , except bailing out the founders / loyalists of their personal debts ) a bit wary on long term play.
4.       Considering Mara-ISON is purely a Services firm, now venturing into Product, they have all the right to protect their interests ( no issue in them thinking the way they are ).
5.       Also there is a big threat for other customers to follow the same exit strategy, ie do not ask anything more from CTVA, freeze the system as is, and wait for alternative…
6.       In some cases, CTVA customers have already asked the competitors to Manage the CTVA system and eventually replace it with their system which the new Mgmt would never want to…

So its makes all sense for the CTVA to push , pull, threat and do all its necessary to get the old timers even atleast for next 6 months , so they get out of mess and then leave the employees back into “DARKNESS”…

DEAR FELLOW COLLEAGUES/EX-STAFF, BE CAUTIOUS , BE MATURE AND DO NOT FALL INTO THE TRAP.. REST I LEAVE IT TO INDIVIDUALS TO DECIDE THEIR FUTURES.
