Bharatiya Doorsanchar Manch (BDM) writes to the CMD BSNL raising serious objections to the continuation of the Senior Executive Trainee (SET) recruitment process despite strong opposition from all stakeholders.
BSNL management had earlier assured that the ongoing SET recruitment process would be deferred and discussions would be held on creating a proper career hierarchy and succession plan for executives. However, instead of deferring the recruitment completely, the management has only extended the registration process and postponed the examination, which is breach of the earlier assurance.
BDM has highlighted that recruiting fresh candidates at the E3 level above existing executives will result in serious injustice to internal talent and further demotivate thousands of BSNL executives who are already waiting for their rightful promotions. The forum has urged the BSNL management to immediately halt the SET recruitment process and instead focus on executing long-pending promotions and strengthening internal career progression. BDM cautioned that if the process continues despite strong opposition, it may lead to organizational action programmes and protests.
