Pune: In a bizarre incident and what could be a precursor of a trend to follow, a Telecom employee, Maddy has refused an offer to be promoted to a Manager position in the mid-term appraisal season.
Promotions are deceptive. So, No. No. No
When our Faking news correspondent met Maddy, a smart and logical analyst, who often finds himself over-burdened with complex works, he said that, “Yes I have rejected an offer to be promoted. It was a ploy to squeeze the life out of me. Thanks to an article published in your esteemed Faking News – Employee gets 5% salary hike but attends 400% more meetings after getting promoted by 400% – that opened my eyes”.
He further added, “I could sense it coming all the way. So I made a ploy to avoid it, by painting a picture of being a reckless employee:
- I made sure I come late to office by at least an hour every day; this was equal to 3 working days a month (paid leave)
- Delayed selective submissions to corporate. Local submissions were done as late as possible, depending upon my mood.
- Expressed shock on being asked the smallest data points or any analysis. So much so that I made the requester feel as if he committed a crime by asking that.
- Criticized all the company’s processes & practices, whenever asked for an opinion by my seniors.
- Took frequent tea breaks and socialized with random people from other departments.
“But they deliberately failed to take a serious note of all these and instead appreciated my efforts during the mid-term appraisal. And this didn’t end here, now they plotted to promote me to a Manager.
It’s a very cost-effective way adopted by companies these days to screw someone. Just @ 5%-6% incremental cost they get a donkey’s job done. And 60% of this 5% goes into the variable pay, which you rarely get completely, added to a 90 day notice period, which makes sure you don’t get job elsewhere easily.
So I had to take a brave step and put an end to this foul play, you see”, completes Maddy
