Salary

I'm keeping this anonymous because I don’t want to disclose it in real life. After two years without a raise, I successfully negotiated a 100% increase at my current company. I focused on creating significant value and worked in cross-functional teams to learn as much as possible. There were times when I was overworked, but it was all worthwhile. I was confident that it was a mutually beneficial situation.

My advice would be to choose your job wisely, create value in the right place, and don't be afraid to negotiate.

Just had to share this, I got a 100% hike!

I’ve finally found a great manager. I used to think all managers were the same...demanding, controlling, and hard to please. But then I switched jobs and met my current boss. She actually listens to us, respects our time..no calls after 7 pm, and encourages mental health days when needed. Last week, she surprised the team with personalized thank you notes for our hard work on a project. It was a small gesture but made a big difference in morale. Honestly, working here feels like a breath of fresh air after years of toxic environments.

Finally Found a Manager Who Truly Cares

few of my friends tagged me having a crazy time and it got posted on Instagram and guess what I completely forgot that my manager is in my list and to add on to it he also liked my story with a heart😑

What do I do ? I am embarrassed 🥲 I will meet him in the office tomorrow. Please suggest Meri Fatri hai yaar appraisals ka time hai. 😭

*Update*  I had a connect with my Boss, I started the conversation and said, Ki kal tabiyat khrab thi but shaam tak concert ki tickets mil gyi Itna maza aaya "Sir", He said Chalo badiya hai, Now I dont know if it will stay in his mind till Appraisal feedback meeting ya "sab changa si" hi rahega :D

I took a fake sick leave and went to watch Honey Singh's Concert 💀
