Appraisal time
Its appraisal time in opur company. As usual everybody is seriously looking forward to a great rating and a significant raise , specially the folks in India are quite aggressive. Many have plans to quit the company if they are not given the expected raise. So they are getting their resumes updated and searching for alternative offers just in case if they dont get the required stage.
Being in US , naturally for the last two years onsite consultants have not been given much raise ( avg 3%) whereas in the same two years in India average salary raise has been abt 12% per year.
I have become quite detached with the appraisal process. Last two years I did not had proper appraisals. This year also more than me it was my supervisor who was trying to get me appraised. Naturally I am not expecting much raise this year also. I was just thinking that what is the reason that i am being so detached with this important thing. Part of the reason is that the deep down I have this feeling that I am jsut somehow managing the job and taking short-cuts here and there. Also my priority is to have a peaceful and less stressful job even if it means less money sometimes.
However I would like to make a point that I am not detached from money or I dont have any spiritual notions about money. Infact like everyone else I would love to have loads of money so that I can feel financially secure. So If by anychance I get any extra money in raise that will be definitely make me happy. But If I do not get any raise then I will still be OK.
