All Eyes were on Me

Let me take you to the time when I was working in a Private Railway Construction Company. Over there I was working as an Accountant cum Admin who was responsible for all the bank transactions and helping the HR tin maintaining the payrolls of all the employees from HQ to various sites. Once a situation came up, where I was in a dilemma between choosing salary of Indore site employees who haven’t been paid for last two months and our Material supplier who was supposed to get one of his payments out of other few dues. The pressure was coming from both the sides as employees and workers from Indore site started to go for a strike and on the other hand, the supplier was about to blacklist us from all the future businesses. At that time the companies bank account had a cash crunch and limited amount was left in bank, which could solve only one of the problems. Upon discussing with the senior department, the decision was left to be taken by me and then All eyes were on me.

Considering all the factors, I decided to first clear out the dues of the Employees and workers for our Indore site. This ultimately resulted in a smooth finish of the work at Indore site. On completion of the Indore site work, we received the work completion cost in no time which helped to clear out the dues of the Supplier.

In our life, we will be facing many challenges in every step or decision we take. And there will be situations where we have to choose between two options. At that moment we need to analyse which option is more important to us in future and make the decision accordingly. It's we who have to set our priorities straight.
