Nothing. Poor management. Management will give promotion and hike to their favorites who is always threaten them to put paper and simply sitting and doing nothing. Those who put hard work, streamline the process and shown progress will be getting poor rating. Manager who handling team does not have even leadership quality.

Dislikes

Overall. Poor management. No hike and no promotion. Full of politics and favorism. Hardworking people will be treating very badly and getting negative feedback. Management will be treating like idiot. Based on their behaviour and feedback, will be losing motivation and confidence.

This new position is closer to my home and does not involve night shifts. The offer letter is attached. I have also requested a ₹95,000 monthly salary increase and am awaiting their response. Could someone advise me on whether I should accept the new offer or remain in my current role?
