Promotion
Promotion is more difficult than finding a job. While in a job interview, you have candidates which are most probably not supposed to stay with you after hiring (If only one vacancy). In the case of promotion, there is a long queue of staff with their achievements, goals, and promotion demands, so competition is tough. You may negotiate salary at the time of getting hired, but asking for salary raise after joining the job, is like asking for a loan.
I do not want to remember that who told me that Hard work pays back. Yes, it pays back but not in monetary terms, rather more work is assigned. Some staff pays respect and a few assign titles on my back. Einstein’s quote “Try to become a man of value but not success”. I need to be successful to improve my financial stability. By the way, Einstein was already successful and I understand, he must have quoted it after becoming successful.
To become successful, I did hard work in every job, took an extra load of work, and delivered. In return, I asked for a promotion. I received the following replies from HR and Management.
1. Prove yourself! First thought that came to my mind as he is asking for my Semen Analysis.
2. Wait for few Months. After completion of that “few” Months, another month of waiting started, but no salary raises. Finally, Managers started asking me for days, weeks, and Months to complete my work.
3. Company’s condition is not good, already at a loss. We are thinking of downsizing. Ok, start from Top Management, the company will stable soon.
All companies are not cunning, few offered me a raise from 5 to 10 percent. But believe me, their managers were earning double to triple my salary. And they gave me a raise because I was underpaid. Another problem that I found in salary revision was workflow (Multiple approvals), especially in large companies. To increase 5% to 10% salary, the Board of Directors were involved in brainstorming – meetings, weeks, Months and calendar goes on. Finally, in one company, I told to HR Manager, leave it “Tujh say naa Hoga!” (You cannot do this!)
One of my colleagues asked me Is it a myth that if you resign, you will get a raise or promotion?
