Cannot say much . I am just thankful to the Government for my salary.

Dislikes

Government Education Department in my state is perfect only in papers and social media . Ground reality is pathetic , from infrastructure to school management and teachers basic recreational facility . There's lot to say , but it will be the poor helpless teachers who will be blamed and punished for the schools' failing management and weak academic performance .

...ks. if fixed targets are fulfilled, confidential reports should not be degraded. On completion of required service, promotion grade pay automatically should be given, if the post is available or not. File transparency should be maintained. If the file is held for more than the given time punishments should be incorporated. partiality should not be shown on a caste basis/position basis.

transparency being not maintained, partiality was shown from person to person, and most purchase cases are taking fraud. promotions are delayed deliberately, powers/ duties are misused by many officers and staff should be stopped. time limit is not fixed on file movement.

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

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.
