From PIP to Promotion – The Greatest Jugaad Story Ever!

Hey, AB fam, PIP = Corporate death sentence. I was there too🥲—panicking, checking Naukri every 5 minutes, watching Bhagavad Gita reels at 2 AM. Priya Ma’am, my boss, had lost faith in me. Friends said, "Bro, PIP se promotion tak koi nahi jaata." But I refused to go down. My Survival Jugaad? Chai Pe Charcha – Timed my tea breaks with hers. "Ma’am, elaichi daalni chahiye thi." Next day? She agreed. Trst unlocked. In meetings, I nodded like a bobblehead. "Ma’am, truly visionary! Aap to corporate Rani Lakshmi Bai ho!" Smiles = Achieved.. Emotional Connect – She loved dogs. I updated my DP with one. "Ma’am, my dog wakes me up for meetings!" Bond = Secured.😉 The Final Jugaad – She looked stressed. "Ma’am, even Dhoni takes a break!" She smiled. Game over. After a few months "Congrats on your Promotion!" Moral? Hard work is good. Smart work is better. But jugaad? Boss, that’s the best! Got a crazier PIP escape? Drop it below! 😂👇

Work culture is ok. Nothing like there to like. If you are interested to learn things then you can learn at your level.

Dislikes

Management needs to create hierarchy. Management should know roles and responsibilities of employees. They needs improve their learnings as well as employees also. No employee satisfaction is there. Those employees are happy only who are doing Yes Yes to management.

"They provide salaries on time and give opportunities to freshers, and the workload and pressure are average.

Work-life balance - Good

Dislikes

Nothing is organized properly, no one takes management responsibility, they don't value employees, and they never solve problems on time when you email them, unless you follow up on that email 3 or 4 times. The HR policy is of a different type; for example, if an employee is leaving the job, they have an exit interview. They have this process in place, but the twist is that the exit interview form won't be filled out by the departing employee; instead, their manager will fill it out. This seems completely backwards to me....Read More
