INDIANOIL- percussive sublimation

Grade wise number of officers in 1983, 2002 and 2016:

1983--A grade 844, B grade1013, C grade 371, D grade 192, E grade 80, F grade42

2002--A  grade 1811, B grade 1234, C grade 926, D grade 711, E grade 80, F grade 143

2016--A grade, 1376, B grade 1227, C grade 1346, D grade 1066, E grade 724, F grade 690

This shows that work of A grade is done by A B C grades. work of B and C is done by D and E
There are 330 DGMs this day.

No idea how many GMs and EDs are there. Must be in comparison with F & G.

Increase in A, B, C & D  grades is normal. But grade E, F and G is beyond comprehension.

F and G grade increase may be percussive sublimation ( Peter Drucker).

When I joined  in 1970 as sales officer there was one GM ( Mr.Bhambri) one DGM (Mr. Kumaran).
Branch managers (  Regional managers now) were in E grade. Branch sales, operations and personnel managers were in D grade. Departmental heads in Branch were in C grade. District managers
( Divisional managers now) were in C or even B grade. Madurai and Belgaum had B grade District managers.
Is this one of the reasons why IOC has come down in fortune 500 list from 96 in 2012 to 119 in 2015 and 161 in 2016? Strange that this has happened during the last two years.
Why not have more chairmen, a chairman for refineries, pipelines and marketing  each.
.Thereafter there can be Dy.chairman and assistant chairman for all units. For all combined there can be chief chairman, Sr chairman and chairman.
Similarly for EDs--Chief and Senior positions can be created. For GMs there are already Dy GMs. There can be assistant GMs.
At present it is almost cylindrical.
