Hey DDDelhi, are you Moses?! Because you just handed over us Rediff'ians 13 commandments of getting a good hike every April ;-)
Appraisal is just a formality what the management does. Though there will be some employees who would have done an extremely fantastic job in the previous year, that goes unnoticed while giving appraisals. Top management always rates every employee in the same scale, they will never have a criteria of distinguishing a good employee with the moderate one. Your appraisals are already fixed in the last year itself. Before you perform better everybody should understand that your appraisals are already finalized in the last financial year budget itself. but still we perform. It also depends on the bosses. You are like a horse, and the person riding the horse is your boss. He will extract the work and throw yourselves. Thats what happens in most of the comopanies. People doesnt leave the organization, they want to actually leave their bosses. But the funny thing here is everywhere they go, they will get the bosses worst than the previous one. Thats how it goes.
fact is PA is done so that u as an employee shud be convinced for low entitlement and ur boss wud be able demand a high entitlement as he is mainting u at such a lower salary and still keep u motivated....cheers!!!
I think Appraisal is just a formality as it does has a hike, but at the same time empolyee doesn't take employer into consideration. I feel the real appreciation can be given in mid month if the performance of an employee is upto the mark or outstanding. This kind of appreciation can be considered as an employee is Appraised as conducting an Appraisal is a by default process. Normally i think while giving an appraisal HR plans the CTC in such a way that they feel they are appraised 45% or so, but i don't believe any company will give 45% hike in Actual amount (in-hand), if that is the case then we really need to see such Company. But i strongly feel the need of discussion as to why employee feels he/she should be appraised 20% or 30% with respect to performance. So its by default feeling of an increment which makes individual happy. I have a ? does anyone came to a stituation where there was no increment after appraisal since the performance was not upto the mark. Never i believe, so just think with the stituation and act accordingly. (Acme)

Mr. Parag
You will have to belive that I got 45% raise in my in-hand salary.
I belive that running behind brand names does not give you complete satisfaction. You should choose your company rightly and then work hardest. Then you will surely reap the benefits.
So IT sector is not bad at all. Infact, from my side of the world it looks really green.

dear aj..seems that this time you got a good hike..that's why you are talking like this ;-)
Dear Aalok Kapoor, If you want to share your success we will be happily join you. But do not make a mockery of others problem. Everyone works brilliantly and hard to earn handsome salary. If you are thinking and working with work-around brilliance many of indian employees do not poses it. so stop you mockery.
I think you took me wrong. I didn't said that those who don't get god appraisal don't work hard. I said two thing in combination. Work hard and choose "company" carefully. Not all big companies give you good work and salary. I work for a firm with headcount of just 120 but apart from this head count everything is gr8 there. So the more important thing is company selection.
