Hikened :- )

7th Sep Friday

A Ping from my Manager flashes on the screen
M:Ani can you come over for a min
I have been waiting for this call for the past 2 weeks.Hikes Obviously!!
Anxiously i knocked my manager's door
M:Ani come in!! Please close the door wanted to tell your  hike %
Oh!(is it i know that!) Gave a surprise expression that as if i didnt know.
M:Ani you got 11% hike.
hmm(okay! not bad)
M:I know its pretty less for the kind of work you did and ....
(Got you! you should have never said that sir)
I changed my expressions.Yes 'Same story again may be i should get used to it right from
the start of my career its like this'
M(changed his expression never expected such words from me:I tried my best but for your level this is the highest you would get but dont loose hope have patience
Oh is it its fine then!(What level am i in and how can you decide hike based on designation ).
Will i get promoted ATLEAST?(Alteast?what was that :)prmotion is a big achievement)
M:yes its inprocess will happen

I got of the room with the same werid expression.

Mixed feelings now its a terrific number actually not sure why i reacted like that looking back
i did ok work last year.I always have this confusion of whether i deserve what i have now or
should i be happy with what i got now?
I see people doing nothing and being not happy with their hike and that makes me wonder should i
also not be happy always :)

well for now am happy i need money yes(who dont?) shouldnt compare with any1.If i need more money
i just need to get out of the company.
