Salary negotiation

At a senior role (VP) in a services consulting firm. Firm made revenue of around 10-15 CR. Currently earning 45 LPA fixed + 5 variable after 8 years work ex. What's the kind of hikes which are standard in services based business? I expect a 20% hike year on year of I perform well. Is it too much to ask or too less.

Micromanagers are good for you

Micromanager bosses are like overly attached parents who decide your diet, tell you what to eat and when and also give you instructions on how to chew. But it also has its BIG wins: - You will never be alone. You’ll never feel lonely. Your micromanager will be your constant shadow. Going to the meeting - he will be there. Writing an email, he will be in cc. Going the restroom - he is behind you. Having a date - he will stay on the call. Getting cozy with someone - He is right there.. in between you and ahem ahem. Thinking what to do next - He will be there in your thoughts, even before the thought of "I think" hit you. - No more decision making. Who needs to make decisions when every choice is made for you? Whether it’s the font size on your presentation, angle of your desk chair, your hair color, your last name, your baby's name, your heart rate, your BP, your death time - your micromanager’s got it covered. - You get free cardiovascular workout (Dhuk Dhuk.. lubdub lubdub.. you get the hint) - You will be one of those few who will experience the joy of meetings about meetings for those meetings that were not required - You will be trained to live in real-time surveillance conditions, where all your activity and movements is monitored and what you say is captured - you could be a contestant tomorrow on BIG BOSS OTT if you like - You would be the elite few who will get to experience New, follow-up emails, reminders, and gentle nudges tags on an email all within 5 minutes of each other - By the time you leave, you’ll have a black belt in stress management - By the time you leave, you would have lost weight - You will see increased commitment to work: You will sleep less, You will turn up to office on time, will work more and for extended hours - You'll save money - no weekends = no social activities and outings - With constant micromanagement, you’ll soon wonder "who are you" "why are you" "why are we" "why is everything" - first step of higher level consciousness
