Now we have to reduce work to match our salary and designation
So now if no promotion and hike we all should smartly reduce our work by doing more show off , Following RTO but can be found in the office cafeteria and at friends desk for mental wellness.
1.We need to save our job but still create delivery impact and behave like we are too worried for not achieving things.
2.Bycot office party and unnecessary event which they are doing to give us lollipop.How they will know we are demotivated ?
3.Lets not support any wellness initiative like impact and all otherwise if will keep doing normal they will not realise.
4.All survey feedback should be given wrong only.
- Any plus one activity must get avoided to show leads in office that we are not interested in any kind of initiatives except doing our BAU.

in Indian companies, the moment they suspect you of anything like this, they will increase the work load, stress you enough to quit.
The best alternative is to create problems for your manager and solve it. Be on his side and stress him. Create problems where none exist, always deliver at the last minute, at the same time act as if you are stressed out.

Yes now show off skill need to be enhanced
What do you mean by reduce work to match salary? Such a bs mindset

It means if salary is not variable and company keep it constant we have to not stretch any more after our logout time to complete Managers goal.BS mindset of organisation is getting transferred .
M and above should come office twice to set example for team .

I didn't said to work that way u will be caught or questioned.i meant no need to go out of way to fullfill companies goal.And yes working on moving out but 90 days period is biggest challenge I m facing and I knew few will definitely give this lacture if not happy why not moving.

My manager tells us not to work on weekends/overtime. (Once in a blue moon exceptions are there)
And he makes sure we get paid for overtime if its a requirement from upper management.
Over the years what I have learnt is that,
First, We should never work overtime in the initial days, it creates an impression that if there's more work, this guy will be there to handle the load.
Second, is the art of saying no.
Third, make sure ur work is noticed. Speak about it, with clarity, let everybody know what you're working on (tip can make it seem like a big thing even if its not).
Fourth, Always show you're busy.
Fifth, after office hours don't think about work stuff, leave it for the next day.
Mental peace is above all.
Work smart not more.

My comment is towards Aragorn_urf.
We work to get paid. If there's no hike , work can go to hell.

In that case your salary should be reduced further!!
It's really ironic that those who got 50%+ hikes in boom time are now complaining about no hike!!๐๐๐
Freshers who have joined the industry recently like 1 to 2 years before, were not part of the boom. They are only getting single digit hikes, it's sad.

Then wait for it...I've been in this industry for 25+ years and these cycles come and go every year

First of all, IT is not a stable source of income, even if the pay is high. One should strictly avoid taking large loans, such as for a home or car, while working in IT jobs. These roles are fine to pursue until around the age of 35 at most. Itโs important to start building alternative career options as early as possible.

Please suggest some alternate career options, I am already more than 35 years old.

It's understandable to feel demotivated when efforts aren't recognized with promotions or fair hikes. Finding a balance between maintaining your job and focusing on your future is key right now.

You mean just like managers๐๐

Your input/ contribution should be according to your pay scale.. I have seen or see people getting promotions and good hikes just by doing average work and making connections with leaders/ (bootlicking). If anyone is getting offended after reading this then please help urself with burnol .
