lexraven Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Most of us are employed in companies. Whether in top management or in the bottom rungs of the corporate ladder we all have the same basic needs. 1. We want to succeed e.g. Get a higher salary, better position, more experience, more benefits ... etc. 2. We also want to be able to survive There are always problems that we have to deal with. There are events that we can't control but have to live with (e.g. government policies, new company policies, price increases) and people that stand in our way or try to pull us down. I hope this thread would be a place for people to ask questions or put in and discuss specific tips and techniques they know or have used to help them succeed and / or survive certain situations.

sakuragi2050 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I have been working for 6 years now but never got promoted. I know I am a good employee but my superiors do not appreciate my efforts. I managed to climb the ladder by moving to other companies. This year, I do not expect a promotion because a co-worker which is much senior than me is next in-line to be promoted. Is this normal? Quote Link to comment

orionpax Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 getting upstairs has its trade offs....less friends in R&F, more politics,more scrutiny, more criticism, rumors...etc... .... to get promoted? work..work..but back it up with accomplishments that are aligned to the mission and vision of the company as well as the unit are in or handling...

Guest event_horizon Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 working hard is only one part of the solution. you also need to trumpet your accomplishments. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i agree with these.. more on the trumpetting part.. Quote Link to comment
Guest event_horizon Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 when is the best time to ask for a salary increase? taking into consideration that there is an annual increase. what are the best ways on how to ask for the increase<{POST_SNAPBACK}> just to share some insights.. this depends on teh the company principles on rewarding employees... you can work your butt off and not get rewarded if the company does not recognize that it is an important part of the business. generally, companies have good rewards/recognition practices.. which it almost always based on performance rather than years of service.. the best way to ask for an increase is agree with your manager on the direction (this should be set from way above you but a manager discssion is necessary to foucs on your specific business area). then set stretched targets and agree with your manager that if you achieve them, it is enough to merit you an increase. then make sure you deliver the results and exceed the expectations if you can. also, don't forget about the trumpetting part esp to higher management. now, just want to make it clear that this will not guarrantee you an increase.. i said it is one of the best ways to ask for it.. not to get it..

It really depends on the culture and structure of the company. Kung lahat kayo magagaling e di naman pwede kayo lahat maging manager. Siguro you'll be better rewarded but not promoted. Btw, seniority also connotes to business knowledge, pwedeng yun ang maging basis. Just my thoughts... Quote Link to comment

enteng_kabisote Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Hardwork and lot of patience! Love what you do and show passion in it! A must: stay away from gossipers and rumor-mongerers! Refrain from backstabbers and fair-weathered friends & colleagues. I doubt it, though, considering Pinoy's crab mentality! Quote Link to comment
don_cruzer Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I've had my share of successes and failures: (1) Never mistake activity for accomplishment, just because you're doing something doesn't mean you're accomplishing something - accomplishments get rewarded. (2) Take care of your People (function of character) (3) Continue building competence (3) Watch your peers, Do what they do plus more If all fails, there's always LUCK - right boss, right time, right place..... Just another observation, if you do get promoted, there are only 2 things that can happen....(1) if you deserve it, you excel and grow further and (2) if you don't deserve it, you'll get sick and die. After all, you can only get promoted up to your level of incompetence. Quote Link to comment
