Manager- A Self Killer

Manager- A Self Killer
 

This is my second blog on Manager and I hope you will also like it. In-case you are manager, you mayn't like it but it doesn't mean that i will not write on manager. Whatever my experience says, i just add and publish it through blog.

I met one Manager sorry right now he is not manager, he was manager few years ago but he still thinks he is manager, so don't mind we call him as manager let him keep happy.
 
He was handling a team of five-six people out which one person was not good from manager's prospective so at appraisal time, manager gave him "Performance needs improvement" and hike was just 5%, employee was not happy, every employee thinks he did well, I can understand How we can say we are not intelligent? We didn't work last year...... So after few months that employee had left the company for 30% hike, we know market is open, 0-5 years can get job at any moment.

Manager was happy, he opened a new opening but his bad luck, and there were job freeze in company for six months :(. He distributed the work to other four people. Other employees were tensed, but they tried to maintain it. Now second bad news for Manager, one more project had added to his portfolio, Oops!! one more resignation, When he asked to employee why you are leaving, he said because of work pressure.

Now he has three employees and triples the load, and because of freeze, he can't hire. After two months, two more resignations and he was not able to stop them.

After a month, Management asked him to be a part of existing team as only one person is reporting to him. Now he is doing coding, no managerial work at all.

This Manager is called - A Self Killer.

What he did wrong? He penalized employee. I ask a question, if your child does some mistake, what you do? Do you penalize him or teach him what to do? How to do? If you are good parents, you teach child softly.
So if your employee does some mistake never penalize him with less salary hike.

Manager Never Listens

Manager Never Listens

Is is true? I think YES. Manager never listens. Problem is manger thinks he reached at this position because of his right decisions in past. His mind always speaks about his success over his subordinate.

He feels happy when he sees people are coming with problems. And he thinks this is simple problem and can be solved anytime, his reaction is that he has understood correctly and solves the problem in minutes but after weeks of weeks he never reacts.

In my past 12 years of experience, What I realize that employess don't want to sit with their bosses because first reason "Manager Never Listens" and Second "Manager always speaks about his success".

Most of the time you realize that Managers are either very happy or very sad. They are never in-between. It means, they are not normal/natural, they are acting in their life. If they have some work from anyone, they start asking about  family members, their problems and so on... And as soon as work is done, their reaction is all together different. They think, no one should come to meet him. Because in their mind, second thing is running that work is done and people may ask for party or increment. So they always avoid meetings after work is done.

These days, even you go to manager and ask for more work their reaction is different, they start thinking, more work, more dependency, and more salary hike so to avoid this situation, they think better to say OK LET ME THINK or make a presentation WHAT ELSE YOU CAN DO . And these four/five words you can listen in all manager's cubical.
