You did just the right thing. Firstly, skill and hardwork should be recognised and rewarded. Secondly, if they are hiking your salary just because you are leaving, it means they need somebody like you on hand immediately and can pay more; that also means once they get another guy they will show you the way out, and that may well be at a time when you don't have offers on hand. So one cannot rely on such management. Thirdly, there is no point in working in a place with dissatisfaction. We should not stay where we cannot put our heart and soul in. You did the best thing. Hope you would get the right treatment in your new job.

Hi Avinash Let me explain you the process of appraisal. See for any organization be it MNC or local comanay a budget is decided for the appraisal. The comapny gives hike according to that budget. Once the appaisal is done aand grading is given to everyone,the noramalization of grading is done.This is done so that everyboday gets the salary hike. then on the basis of the noramalization the salary hike is decided for everyone on prorata basis. And secondly I feel your decision is right

I think that in the end only thing that matters is the result. Have you achieved your target or not. Even if you do a job switch then next year same thing can happen to you. This time a new employer or a new manager will do it. So get the raise and do not worry about morals and ethics since appraisals and hikes are not performance oriented they depend upon the business requirement and your future importance.

Mr avinash gaikwad There are many factors on which your decision needs to be evaluated - how much satisfied you were with the present job, your relation with your superior and juniors, how you can say that the performance which you have given was 200% of your ability is there no chance of improvising further on the your performance, how many years you have put in with your present job,how much increase you should have got.
Before putting down your papers you should talk with your manager and ask for the reason for such increase and if still you are not satisfied then you should quit. But you should analyse the above mentioned factors keeping in mind your job profile, working conditions in future assignment.

How do you know that you have given 200%. One key thing you must always yopurself is that self appraisal can never be taken for granted. In most cases they are only guidelines for your superior to gauge you and your outlook. 20% is a good raise and very few employees get that level of hike.
Coming to your point of your manager offering you more hike when you wanted to resign, is is common practice everywhere. In almost all cases, this issue also becomes an additiopnal outside appraisal of your performance. If the employee is good the management generally offers higher salaries. You should ignore these pinpricks and decide your future based on the outlook and performance of the Company and your immediate manager. Getting carried away by emotions do not help in real life. Since you have already resigned, best of luck.

Avinash... Remember that, the managers have pressures from higher management to cut down on cost. So though u worked hard and good.. they will still try to find some lack and try to cut down on your hike. No company will religously give you hike based on your performance. Its always based on negociations. So keep your ego aside and stick to the company.

Okay Guys, Let me narrate a story to you. I am an M.B.A with an experience of over 8 years. I am presently working with a logistic company as Area Manager and looking after a total Zone. I am associated with this organisation for the last 1 year 4 months. During this time i have increased the business figure of this zone miraculously by around 5 times. Right now we are the topper in terms of business among all others in the trait, throughout the zone. Two years back we were among the "Last Benchers". Apart from that i have brought the entire zone in a perfect shape in all other departments too. But very remorsely, i mention i have not got a single paisa hike till date. Moreover our employers are adopting tactics to demean me all the time. Now what do you suggest Avinash??

because his 200% effort is worth a 20% increase..management did the right thing.(he will be afresh in the new company and will have to put in 800% efforts to establish his merits), by losing his seniority, experience on job etc. in the organisation whether he throw his papers

who is going to evaluate your performance your manager right and if you think you did not get what u suppose to then do one to one with your manager but leaving the organization is not a solution b'coz it happens everywhere how many job you will change? some times u need to do this kind of exercise also.

Ur boss and ur parents is not in our decision, i heard this from senors, but personally i had a experience management wont take the complaints seriously when it comes any managers, they usually afford to loose the guys rather than managers, dont know why?, but most of the immediate managers i encountered are not skilled

after taking a decision, don't ask whether it is right or wrong...decision taken and matter over. Next time ask me before you take a decision..okay?

If you say you are leaving and then stay just for money or hike you may be hitting your possible promotions ans management would think you are just staying because of money. Imagine me after working for 7 months i am gonna get only 3% appraisal, but the problem i do not want to argue as i do not want to spoil my CV.

first of all, your 200% of my best may not be good enough ! i remember one of my interviewers telling me, when i said "I will do my best", "your bets may not be good enough" !!
secondly, we are not saints who would honestly do a self-appraisal. i have not seen anyone, who has appraised his/her performance truthfully. lack of quantification makes this difficult.

This is the way of gatting appraisal...Dont count your ego in between...Appraisal will never be a performance based..continue with the same org, it will create more impact on ur cv..

Thats one way of giving increment it seems.. let one resign if not satisified and then offer increment..Else there may be dissatisfaction among others for more increment to one guy.. Well this is only one possibility..Otherwise the increment offered after resignation can be a late realization of one's contribution.. or it can be just to save some overhead expenses..till one resigns..You know better what u want in life..Usually salaries are based on market rate only not performance based...
