How to deal with situations where you have given your best and contributed a lot to the project/Organisation (which is tangible) but the efforts don't get reflected in your performance appraisals and promotions due to office politics? 
You don't get promoted because the boss's favourite needs to be promoted despite sub-par performance.
Shifting the job isn't an option for a few years considering responsibilities, lack of good paying jobs in finance and the Organisation is really good.

What to do when you are not satisfied with your current salary because you feel the quality and quantity of work you do is not worth it and your supervisor is playing around and not in favour of giving any financial growth even after good performance and you are not getting any opportunity outside having around 9yrs of experience in HR Operations. You feel very low and disappointed working like this. He is taking advantage of everything, not letting you apply for internal job openings also. What to do in this case?

Not happy with the salary

Human Resources

Been hearing this a lot these days where companies are firing a bunch of people and forcing some others to resign, to bring down the severance cost.

What are these situations created by these companies which actually force people to resign?

What’s the best way to approach a performance review?

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

Lately it's been really hard trying to cope up with derogatory comments and people trying to pull you down.

I build/refactored some of our codebase and things go south in terms of performance at few places. 
I realised the mistake and fixed the performance bottlenecks that happened because of me in least time possible. 

But people still look down on me on and manager keeps passing hurtful comments about the incident every now and then.

Moreover there's worse happening fellow people start blaming you for the performance of code you haven't even touched. You are just utilizing some function in your codebase written by some other person.

I don't know how to handle all this and what should I do to avoid this? 
Mistakes happen, bugs go on prod, things can break but as far as once everything stabilise, we should move on.

How do you guys deal with Office politics.

I'm the top performer in my team but keep getting passed over for promotion. At what point do you confront management or just move on?

How do you deal with the situation when you have worked hard as an acting lead and expect to be promoted as Lead but the management somehow decides to give the position to someone who was not even part of the project earlier and has 0 project knowledge. Just because his team's project got ramped up and he being an old employee of the company. 
On the other side, me doing very well from quite a long time and even a stakeholder delight.

Dealing with management

I always heard about the office politics but never faced. But in my current company, I got caught up with the petty dirty office politics.

Manager keeps his ass safe by not taking any actions. He’s also one of them though. People take complete advantage of his inaction and lick his boot to safeguard themselves. Behaviour takes u-turn when the manager is not around.

Mediocre behaviour and no intent to do better.

One of the worst experience of my life. Have to get out.

Analyst

I have an onshore counterpart, one level above me. We two are setting up the project and conducting workshops. The problems I have are:

1. I work in the B shift from 2 PM to 11 PM since the client is in PST. But i login usually at 10-11
2. My onshore counterpart works in EST but logs in very late.
3. Although I work in the B shift, I often extend until 1 AM because I am preparing all the PPTs and doing research. I have to explain everything I do daily for 2-3 hours. She schedules meetings during the PST afternoon to present that work.
4. It has been 2 months of the same routine. In every weekly stand-up, she gets appreciation as if she did the work and research, without giving me any credit.
5. I can escalate the issue, but no one will listen because she has been here for 12 years, whereas I joined a year ago. She has strong networking with the leadership, which I lack.
6. I can ask for release, but I like this project and have provided solutions for some challenging gaps. I feel very bad because I work for 16-18 hours per day. She could schedule the meeting in the PST morning, but she purposely schedules it in the PST afternoon and gets the credit for my work.

PS: i saw her creating a transcript to read during the meeting

Do people like this really exist? If you have personal commitments, why come to work? Don’t you have a conscience and feel guilty about stealing credit for others’ work? Nowadays, there are many posts related to stopping gender-based reservations. Is it because of situations like this?

Associate Manager

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I am working in Consulting post MBA - it is a mix of PM, Product Strategy, Implementation projects.

I can work on industries and multiple offerings so learning is widespread but a slow upward curve.
Pay is good considering my previous experience and peers. Work life balance is also decent.

But, they are not giving promotions in my team because of some stupid leadership decisions. I will have to wait for next 6 months.

So I am in dilemma if I should stay or switch.
If you were in a similar situation, how did you make your decision?

No promotions - should I switch?

Consultant

I am 2019 CSE graduate. I used to work in some startup in Bengaluru but during covid when I was home I switched jobs and choose a permanent work from home. The pay was double what I was getting in Bengaluru and I thought Its better to be near parents and work. When I left my job first job I was a Senior SDE already but I switched to this job for a SE role thinking will get promoted later. Since then its been 2 years and I have not got promoted. Manager cancels all the One-One meetings just 10 mins before the call. I asked him last time and he said he is going to recommend me in the next cycle (perhaps next april). But now he will have a new manager under whom we will work tldr; manager is changing. I feel very stuck and regret my past decisions. I am happy with the CTC but its just that I am turning around 5 years of experience but still an SDE.

I have worked countelss nights and weekends to deliver on time and cancelled plans many times. Is it a good time to look elsewhere?

How to get promoted in the same company?

In this year's appraisal cycle, I got a good performance rating but bad hike and no promotion 😔
Currently multiple projects are highly dependant on me, and it will be difficult for the company to find a good replacement (Subtle flex, but it's true), and due to this I feel like I'm underpaid at my current level.

Have you ever been in a similar situation? How did you negotiate a better salary? Should I look for a better offer outside and ask my current org if they can match it or resign? Because next appraisal/promotion will only happen a year later from now.

Please share your experience of negotiating better salary at current org by getting a better offer outside, how did it go and what was the outcome?

Indian job market looks at YOE more than skills. I am working as SDE 1 pulling in SDE 2 tasks for a while. Declined promotion as have only 16 months of experience and not getting shortlisted for SDE 2 in other companies as well. 
What can someone do in this type of scenario.

YOE > Skills?

What to do if after giving your 100%, still there is no appreciation and no good feedbacks?

No Appreciation from Managers

External Audit

Can I stop pretending that I am extraordinary employee for the company and I can turn around things in no time. 
Can I peacefully enjoy the time the appraisal cycle and plan for the exit?
Happy to be the employee whose rating says “satisfactory work done”

What if there is no promotion for me

Sales Manager

We've seen stories and videos of employees receiving appraisals from their managers. (Of course, more of hatred)

Now, as a manager, how did you prepare yourself to share such feedbacks, both positive and negative. Did your team respect you less or more after appraisals?

There'd be employees who deserve more but due to higher management restrictions, they're unable to get the deserving number. How do you prepare in such situations?

How were positive appraisals delivered?

Share your experiences from your professional journey.

Growth Manager

One of my colleagues makes more money than me and also some other folks in the company. 
He's kind of a junior to us but making more than us. 

I know I shouldn't get bothered about this but it's easier to say than adopt that thinking. 

How do you folks deal with these kinds of things? 

[ Before someone says he might be good at the job I am working with them so I know he's pretty average. ]

How to not feel bad when colleagues make more money ?

In the recent performance review, shitty manager gave bad review.  Though worked very hard the last whole year. Brought this to skips  notice, but he's not ready to hear what I have to say, just speaks what  manager has to say ( probably not to hamper his relationship with the  manager). This manager is very careless and has no idea what's going on  in the team.. Other colleagues who did less than equal to work as mine  got better rating than me due to their manager being good.   

Lost all hope and motivation to work. What should I do?? If I quit  now the market conditions are too bad. Did not learn anything much in  this shit company..   

Looking for advice..
