Boss : You are a star performer. You should take additional responsibility.
Employee : Sure sir. Hope I will get promotion?
Boss : We will try in the appraisal cycle. Now take over role of XYZ who just left.
Employee : What about my current role?
Boss : You have to do both roles. We will hire someone under you. This will help you grow.
Employee: Takes over both roles. Works day and night.

At the time of appraisal... The Boss quits.

Now with the new Boss the saga continues...explain the entire story.

Everything is not recorded in KRAs.

Finally Employee quits as well.

At the end, company loses talent.

Moral: Keep everything documented and keep right stakeholders in loop.

Makes sense?

Your salary is 7 Lakhs per year.
You expect 30% market correction in appraisal.
But in appraisal: You get only 10% salary hike.
Because that's the company budget.
Next day company hires a new resource...
From the market at 30% higher cost.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You think this is not fair.

You wonder why you didn't get 30% hike...

While some new hire got it.

The real issue is in your approach.

You want the company to be fair.

But have you taken any effort?

When was the last time you checked your market worth?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you get an offer from the market...

Even your current employer...
May give you 30% hike.

Remember: 9 out 10 employers will fix your salary as per market, ONLY when you have an offer in hand.

Life before an offer and after an offer is very different.

In between is the effort that matters!

Forcing Employees to “Work from Office“ and Stopping “Work From Home“ had the biggest negative impact on IT employees in 2024.

(this is my opinion, you may or may not like it)

Ok agree some roles require you TO BE in office.
No work from home possible.

So yes, if the role demands then one has to be in office.
No debates on that one.

But it is also true that many/ most roles in the IT World can be done remotely.

Then why take away the flexibility?

Is it because the market is NOT good?

And companies know that employees don't have much choice to switch jobs?

But asking someone in Bangalore to come to office for all 5 days while the entire team is in Chennai or Hyderabad.

-> How much sense does this make?

ZERO!

Dev had been jobless for 4 months. But he said no to a ₹32 LPA offer. On paper, it made no sense.

→ Savings were shrinking.
→ EMIs were due.
→ Family said, “Don’t be foolish.”

But Dev had been here before.

3 years ago, he jumped at a high-paying offer.

Within 6 months, he burned out.

→ The role was vague.
→ The manager micromanaged.
→ He dreaded logging in.

It took him a year to recover.

So this time, he looked deeper.

→ Asked tough questions in the interview
→ Spoke to ex-employees on LinkedIn
→ Checked Glassdoor and insider forums

The feedback was clear:

→ Poor work-life balance
→ Micromanaging leadership
→ High attrition, low growth

And this time, Dev was ready.

→ Built a strong network
→ Was already in 2 final rounds

So he said No.

Not out of emotion, but out of strategy.

3 weeks later, he got a ₹28 LPA offer.

Less money. Better everything.

→ Exciting role
→ Clear path forward
→ Supportive manager

He didn’t just accept a job.

He took back the steering wheel of his career.

And that’s the win we often overlook.

So trust your experience.

Don’t settle out of fear.

And know this:

The real win is choosing what’s right, not what’s easy.

Agree?

Do not make this mistake in your Career 🙄. Some people 'Create Dependency' thinking that it will give them job security 😲.

But they fail to understand that dependency will actually hinder their own growth in the long run 🙀.

Only way to grow is by learning new things, gaining experience and moving to the next level role every 2-3 years 😎.

Dependency is a short term gain but long term loss!

Do you Agree?

In Exit Interview: The reason why I am leaving-> Better Opportunity.

Real Reason: You don't pay me enough.

In a new Job Interview: Why I want to join your company? -> For Great Role and Work Opportunity.

Real Reason: You are paying me good money.

I don't know why mentioning 'Money' is such a taboo.

Money is one of the main reason why people quit or join your company.

Why do we judge people who switch for money?

P.S: Repost if you agree 🙏🙏🙏

Poonam faked her own death but LinkedIn users are least bothered. Why?

Because we daily see...

-> Fake job openings.
-> Fake candidates.
-> Fake Resumes.
-> Faked/ Copied Posts.
-> Fake Profiles.
-> Fake poor
(who are now motivational speakers)
-> Fake Millionaires
(who work only 1 hour per day)

Last but not the least, fake referrals.

When you have a 90-day notice period.
↳ Company wants you to join in 60 days.

When you have a 60-day notice period.
↳ Company wants you to join in 30 days.

When you have a 30-day notice period.
↳ Company wants you to join immediately.

Now, the fun part?
-> As soon as you join
-> The same company will enforce a 90-day notice period on day 1

This happens. Always.

Why? Because companies focus on their urgency, not yours.

So, always use the notice period wisely.

↳ Upskill, add certifications or build a portfolio.
↳ Don’t stop interviewing after the first offer.
↳ Have backup offers if onboarding is delayed. 
↳ Build your financial cushion to handle crisis.
↳ Say NO to unreasonable expectations.

Never forget:

Your notice period is your power.

-> Invest in yourself.
-> Set boundaries.
-> Build a future on your terms.
