why is my manager paid

August 20, 2009 — nayanagarwal

Is it not the most interesting question which every associate want to know about his immediate manager?

For me, my manager is being paid for sending FYI mails to team, conducting team meetings to tell you how pathetic you are, for doing micro management with respect to in & out timings, not understanding what we want, changing the plan at the last moment causing a lot of irritatiion, promoting his favorite people, asking you to rework on the report/document with his last minute comments, blaming the associates for not performing & taking all the credit for good work done by an associate….

So, if this is why he/she is being paid so high…I would love to shift in this role…..But is it 100% true

I am more interested in understanding what happens behind the scenes & how does performing above mentioned tasks help my manager in running the show…

Do you have any idea…please let me know

Art of wishing

August 10, 2009 — nayanagarwal

Have you ever regretted that you wish have fulfilled??? Please think before answering…

For me it has been a problem always…Isnt it stupid…you wish & then you regret….

For example–I wished that I get a better job…But when I got the new job I realized its not good…Certain dimensions were missing which I did not think initially..My profile was good but the team I got was a pain in the head. Money was good but visibility was low.

There are numerous examples like this.

Careful analysis says that problem is always with the incomplete nature wish rather than fulfillment of wish.

Humans tend to wish without defining the proper boundaries & scope of their wish. We tend to wish “what I dont want ” rather that ” what i want”… We tend to run away from problems & hence we wish for things where in we dont have to face those problems.

So, a lot of analysis needs to go in while we prepare ourselves for making a wish. We need to make a proper analysis of our problems/issues/tensions & then only we can decide what we want. This helps in defining our goal & end objective with lot of clarity. When we are clear in our mind, we tend to focus & all this universe helps us in attaining our desires.

Hope this helps!!!!!!!!
