My dear friend(s)
Thanx for your response.
I have been very conservative in my remarks. Unfortunately, I am not the moderator, else I would have been harsher. I stand by the Intellectual Property Rights and LOOK DOWN upon any form of plagiarism.
My earlier remarks were based on the following sound premises :
1. A person COPIES the leave policy of an American Organization IN TOTO; (that is the reason he got the Maternity Leave and Earned Leave mixed up, because they are as per US laws (wherein there is already 5 day week - hence the number of days of ML and EL are less)
2. He, then, claims that he has "DEVISED" a policy (amounts to CLAIMING ownership, and seeks feedback.
3. Learned and busy senior members of the Forum, vet his policy (thereby wasting their precious time) and take the trouble of giving their feedback/suggestion, so that the COPIED (and erroneous according to Indian Labour Laws) Policy becomes legally-compliant as per Indian Labour Acts.
Dear Ms. Vrinda,
the not-so-called advocate of a plagiarist;
IS IT NOT EXPLOITATION, trying to fool the members of the forum (by submitting a PLAGIARISED item, CLAIMING IT TO BE ONE":S OWN); in giving their feedbacks/suggestions, making them work hard and waste their time ?
Can you tell me, why your "client", at the outset did not declare that he has found a policy on the net and after ADAPTING (requires a bit of sincere work on his part) it to suit his company's requirement, he is soliciting views of the members?
Ms. Vrinda,
dont you think, that WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING AT ALL ON HIS PART, he made the members SWEAT IT OUT ?
Please try to UNDERSTAND the ISSUE FIRST. Just because his language is SOFT and mine is HARSH (intended to), please dont judge people. If you have to JUDGE people, do it on issues/MERIT.
The last para of your post, calling me UNCOUTH, is TOTALLY UNCALLED FOR. Maybe the 'aggrieved' Mr. Pradhan could have the right to call me that, but not you. That itself shows not only your education, but rather your UPBRINGING and FAMILY BACKGROUND and PERSONAL VALUES. I have nothing but Pity for you. It is still not too late for you to CATCH UP ON WHAT YOU HAVE MISSED in your learning and development as a DEMOCRATIC, LIBERAL individual who understands that EVERY ONE HAS A RIGHT TO VOICE THEIR OPINION; and to PROTEST if they find themselves BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF. I am not asking you to have RESPECT, BUT AT LEAST allow people to have their own opinion, allow them to have a DIFFERENT OPINION. That is what is meant by being LIBERAL (dont accuse me of ANYTHING ELSE in your next post. I dont mean anything INDECENT, when I say LIBERAL).
REGARDS (although, truthfully, I dont have any for you).
