Sandhya was a brilliant young scientist with a great career
ahead of her. She was an extremely dedicated professional with a zeal to make a
difference in the life of people with her research. During one of the seminars, she
met Prashant another brilliant scientist, both struck a chord immediately and within
no time they were married. Sandhya had applied for long marriage leave. After her
leave, she reported back to work and got involved in her work as usual. Since
her marriage and added responsibilities, on one of the days she reported late
to work, she was immediately summoned by her boss for an explanation. When she
entered the office of her superior before she could explain, the boss said, “looks
like your husband isn’t allowing you to sleep at night, you guys seem to be
having lots of pleasure, waking up late every day, why don’t you give some pleasure
to all of us.” Sandhya froze for a moment not expecting a statement like this
from a senior colleague. The boss continued, “this behavior is unacceptable,
please come to the office on time.”
What’s your reaction to a statement like this and what would
you do?
