Heya, I am fresher with first appraisal done few months ago, can you please rectify me if got wrong understanding below ...... Manager rated me high, but salary increase percent was just 5; I thought it is manager duty only to rate and based on it increment is given which is automatic acc. to defined standard, not decided by humans and so not unfair and just my company suck even if it is MNC (still think its true) and So did not said or discussed anything to anyone ...... is this true or whom should I ask, business HR or team lead?

​@@ainovice6634 Hikes are generally low in MNCs until you are in top position. I have seen some people getting 2-3% hikes even though they worked all the time. Upskill yourself and switch.

I am that silent employee. Worked at a big company. Was the first to come to office ( even before the CEO ). Always completed tasks on time. Never given the big projects. Never even invited to meetings. And it's my fault because I suffer from social anxiety. I didn't make an attempt of networking with people within my company. Eventually people who joined later than me, got promoted. Please learn from my mistakes.

Nonetheless, somehow, they get promotions while those of us who actually get work done are punished. It's basically high school.

[@AnakinSkywalkerrrop]

@@muhammadmafaz8530 It doesn't cause many problems unless you're way too shy. Shyness is not equal to introversion. So, if you're really shy, you may face challenges in promotion. However, if you're minding your business and greeting the client properly, it doesn't matter whether you're introverted or extroverted. Trust me, introverts carefully choose their words before clients, unlike extroverts who may sometimes say something they might regret later, causing problems in promotion. It also depends on the nature of jobs; for instance, sales jobs are not very suitable for introverts, but introverts excel in finance, accounting, data science, programming, etc.

@@laura3619 Have you considered replacing your employer? It doesn't seem they appreciate you, so they're not good enough of an employer to be given the advantage of making use of your skillset.

Most workers nowadays are however job hoppers, so in the long run it will end up costing them more.

you gotta be tough. dont be a weak introvert. be a strong introvert. you be the one doing the bullying and pushing and the mistreating if you feel someone is stepping on your toes. you gotta stand up for yourself. being introverted doesnt automatically mean you're gonna get bullied, it also depends on your demeanor. you are probably are an easy target. (no offense) im an introvert but im not timid in the way i speak or the way i present and carry myself so this right away closes any door to anyone who even thought about trying to bully me into some submission or anything. im also really stubborn and dish things out when necessary. be cunning and ruthless if necessary. talk to them, get information out of them as you say little about yourself, this way it will be easier to control and bully the situation now that you have information on them and they have nothing on you. always be steps ahead of them. if you feel like anyone is about to undermine you depending on how they are starting to treat you, make sure you always have a backup plan. present yourself as a respectful person always, and seek out those who are a bit like you to make a group of like minded people root for you if things are about to hit the fan that way the blow wont be as hard as they anticipated. the more people you get to have on your side, the less likely anyone will undermine, bully or mistreat you. for example, you can be a quiet type personality/introverted, but talk to people on a 1 on 1 level, get to know them. be respectful to the point where if they talk bad about you they would feel bad about themselves or if they hear someone talking bad about you they can say things like "idk, that guy/girl seems to be a pretty cool/decent person to me". you can have such reputation and be a solid introverted quiet person. it all comes down to how you carry yourself. i hardly have any problems with anyone because im always a respectful person and i try to be as real as i can as possible. my judgement isnt too bad and im okay at reading people so i tend to always avoid those who i know are fake and full of it and keep those who are friendly, nice, respectful and authentic closer to me. keep the fake at a distant, just close enough to see how they think so you can really know what to expect from them. usually those who want to give you problems have already gave others problems so they will eventually weed themselves out. just be real, cool, respectful always, caring and authentic. but be hard and assertive. you got this. see it as a battlefield and you must observe the field and the people on it, coordinate yourself and how you are going to maneuver within the battlefield before you even start doing it. listen to those who like to talk mumbo jumbo all the time, they reveal a lot about themselves. always be sharp. the world is ruthless so you have to become more ruthless..

But as we grew up we left that habit and thought that the intelligent world up there in the organizations, companies, workplaces, would have much bigger eyes to notice silent workers...and not just take sides with the one who chatters and takes lead in talking. Also that's not justice done by people if we are doing it knowingly. Also it shows lot of shallowness on the part of company that they know there are more hard working people, and still they go with the unconscious bias. See we will continue to do what we have been doing and nothing new will come up that way. Its time companies and workplaces, open their eyes and create a culture where everyone wants to talk and shows to work willingly, specially on Mondays. We don't talk of that.

You will understand in future that you are not the only person who is hardworking/competent. So, speaking up is a huge differentiation between similarly competent employees. Communication skills is actually not that common, that's the reason you see our politicians r big on talks and distraction.

Hi, I have the following problem. I have no issue when it comes to speaking/talking about work related things, or even giving a presentation, but my main problem is "small talk" or gossip, as we call it. I can talk for hours about things related to the work I am doing, but go completely silent when I am have to talk anything else for eg sports, politics movies, etc. Being an introvert, this has always been difficult for me. I also like to eat lunch alone which infuriates my team members who all eat together. Like I do not understand why you need to be together even while eating. The work that I do is quite difficult so I would like to devote all my mental energy to that, and thus I need time alone to decompress and get ready for the second half of the day. People in office say I need to open up more and gossip with them to lighten the mood. Can you please give advice regarding this issue? And do you think that not engaging in small talk will affect my overall growth/career in any way?

[@namenotimp24]

I love how everyone tells introverts to speak up, take the lead, but no one tells you how, they assume you’re just not speaking because you don’t want to, some of us were never given the tools it takes to take the lead. Where do you learn these skills? There is no college course on how to be an extrovert. So please don’t just tell an introvert to take the lead, most of them will have no clue how.

Personally, I look at things and live VERY SIMPLE. At a young age, I QUICKLY understood your ONLY a number to whichever company you work for. The reason being when I used to give 110% NOTHING came of it thus job hopping it was always the same. Especially when you KNOW you've been the best at what you do and STILL get layed off due to a company cuts. Nowadays I ONLY GIVE 40-60% of effort to my job and I try to be silent and not give a fuck. Let's be honest we only work for a paycheck. Unless you hold a high level position, your "job" is pointless unless ypur a doctor.

Hi, Nice video 👌 I feel that the capacity to do the work and the work getting done is more important than explaining it or highlighting it once done. Coz eventually if the work is not done, everything else gets queued up and has no meaning.... So it's better to develop our technical skills ( role for which we got hired) - automatically it will get him recognised Despite of being silent- if nobody else ( the so called talkative people) knows the subject better - obviously the silent person who did the work has to speak up. He will in such case, and in turn would receive the recognition.

Get the job, do a good job for 3 to 6 months, write a letter to Vice President where you demand 3 things: 1)20% Salary Raise. 2)Change in Title 3)Office Space request. I always get 2 out 3. Then I go silent again. Later, Jump to another company and apply it again. We the silent people have the Real knowledge of the work. Take the knowledge with you and exploded in your favor.

I myself am a corporate trainer in IT and related sector for over two decades, and have consulted also in many projects. I have typically seen that the finest programmers are the most silent. Unless you directly ask them, they will not speak up. When I call them to the board to explain something, they do an impeccable job. Others will ask me so many questions, but they won't. One very important thing you did not cover and which I tell them specially freshers, that if they do not speak up, it's not them but the organisation suffers the most because the finest ones are rendered unusable. I myself had had this problem while consulting a project. The people who were projected to me as the most efficient produced nothing but a warm pile of you know what. As you rightly said in the first part that 75% of the job will go to the vocal employee, but he/she can't perform causing frustration for the client as well as their own managers.

i am a silent worker, but my job consist of mostly routine maintenance. on the side i am the only one that would try to repair electric stuff so that is my niche. i do also occasionally get to do "difficult" or more "creative" stuff but i never expect any compliment or extra, the only satisfaction comes if i meet my standards of how i'm executing the thing. of course i like to get paid, but but since the contract is a collective one, one cannot negotiate his pay on his own or a raise like you would do in the united states or maybe another "normal" job. it's basically "this is the pay for your role" does not matter if you are more or less capable of your average co-worker. the only way to get an higher minimum salary is apply for an "internal competition" and you get an higher role, but more responsibilities arise for very little money in return so isn't worth in my opinion.

[@singhm4709]

I have in my last 9 years of corporate life seen that whatever you do it's never enough and you will get only bare minimum increase in salary, even not beating the inflation.

HRs / Recruiters are inhumane. Don't we sometime think like that? How? How can they post job openings mentioning the below pointers : *Should be ready to work in 24x7 rotating shifts environment *Should be willing to work on weekends *Should be comfortable with night shifts *Should be comfortable with frequent shift rotation. Doesn't these very points disrupt the work life balance, plays with personal time and health of employee? HRs are well educated human beings and I really wonder how can they go this opposite lane. A normal human/employee will not be able to deliver the service being in these inhumane work conditions for a long time. The employee could join and soon leave the company due to health issues. I love when HRs mention timing of the shift in the job postings like *It will be a 2pm to 11pm shift Mon-Fri I feel HRs/Recruiters should focus on fixing a shift time and utilize employee in that particular shift time.

A person who works quietly/silently in any company until he retires, on the contrary, a person who moves forward/vocal gets to work in that company for a few years because the workload of that person increases to such an extent that he gets bored and quits the job.

Well, its not about who speaks and who stays quiet. It’s about mastering the art of timing. It’s knowing when to strike like a cobra and when to stay as still as a cat in the shadows. Speak too soon, and you're just another voice in the crowd, but stay silent for too long, and you’re just the furniture in the room. The real question isn’t whether you’re loud or quiet, but whether you know the secret of perfect timing.

[@Cylinderstruck]

I believe it's primarily about effective communication rather than simply speaking or remaining silent. Failing to communicate results in presenting oneself differently from the intended understanding by those around you. By the way, the type of manager you've described is highly toxic. People should prioritize work rather than dwelling excessively on such matters. Especially in India, there are many incompetent or ineffective HR professionals, or the HR department itself may be rendered redundant due to choices made by higher-ups. It is the manager's responsibility to comprehend their subordinates and grasp their modes of communication. If a manager solely prioritizes vocal employees, it's detrimental.

Agree with you points but explain me this, if the employee has to speak up for growth every opportunity he/she gets, then why do companies have annual/mid-year reviews? If the manager cannot identify the potential and the growth path for this team then the failure is on the manager, not the silent employee. It is not a bad thing to be introvert. Infact, introverts are most intelligent people anyone can find. In my experience I have seen people getting promoted who kept wagging their tail to their managers but I have also seen that those people often fuck up on the new position. Bakchodi se kaam nahi hota sirf promotion milta he. If your company does not give a shit about you just because you are silent then you should look for a good company. There are companies who gives promotion on merit and not chatugiri. Please work for those company. What you are trying to say will only create a company full of dumb fucks.

It's basically a manager's job to understand who is doing what but since they fail to do so in a organized way, they go by who is holding the banner...

[@SkoomaIceCoffee]

I cannot fully agree what you said because there is also a situation where managers and HR people feel very annoyed over so many employees wanting to say something which is not very relevant(which they do to maintain communication), so managers play a role of typical always rude boss. Also the biggest problem i see in work place is whenever you give a feedback to someone, they give a counter argument which undermines your feedback and eventually people don't give feedbacks anymore. But after all we should work on our strength and weakness, someone in management with top networth in a company must have skills to see who is good and who is bad at work, and a smart introvert can learn to transition from job to solopreneur/freelancer which is much better career option. In my company, management is pretty much frustrated and cannot figure out solutions to there problems but all they need to do is to just be openminded and learn to see what real problem is. if not then have infrastructure and environment to investigate real problem.
