Here are some tid-bits for your consumption !!!
1. The Hunt for Greener Pastures. After my return from Delhi last week I got a call from one of our friends at Mumbai and he literally dropped a bomb – telling me that we can retire voluntarily (and have our military service counted too). I told him that to the best of my knowledge we HAVE to serve for 20 years in the Bank before we can think of chucking this job. I drew his attention to Para 3.4 of the Master Circular on Superannuation and Retirement in this connection. The clarification he obtained from the Central Office is that in terms of Staff Regulations 26 (3) any employee can retire voluntarily on attaining the age of 50 years. This means that any one of us who has reached his golden jubilee can leave the Bank. However, knowing the way our Bank works, I am going to wait for someone to set a precedent before thinking about jumping into “waters of unknown depth and temperature”.
2. Dress Code. After being “dressed to kill” in our Safari Suits all this time in the Bank, there is some good news if rumours are to be believed. It is learnt that a proposal for Security Officers to be dressed in ‘shirt and tie’ is being considered by the Bank. This is indeed heartening news. At least we will not look like “Government Drivers” once this proposal is accepted by the powers that be. One has to be a ‘Kabir Bedi’ to look good in a safari which we are not. In this context I must mention that our colleagues at Mumbai have been advocating this case to whosoever was willing to listen for quite some time now. In case it comes through they deserve all the credit.
