Before fire a complain, please ensure that the case has tried to be resolved in the following manner:

 Trying to resolve the situation between the TN Manager/ Organization and you (EP),

Trying to resolve the situation between the two LC’s

Trying to resolve the situation between the two MC’s

In case both the previous stages did not result in a prompt solution then the ICB is to be approached.
