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.
