Delayed promotion is no promotion

-

As a hard-working employee at a mid-sized software development firm, I had always been eager to climb the corporate ladder. I had consistently met my targets and exceeded expectations, and I was confident that my hard work would eventually pay off with a well-deserved promotion.


But as the years went by, and my colleagues were being promoted left and right, I began to grow frustrated. I had been passed over for promotion several times, and I couldn't understand why. I began to feel undervalued and unappreciated, and my morale and motivation began to suffer.


To make matters worse, no one in the company talked about the impact of delayed promotions. It was as if being passed over for promotion was just a normal part of the corporate world, and everyone was expected to just accept it and move on.


But the truth is that delayed promotions can have a significant impact on an employee's ability to perform at the next level. When you've been working hard for years and are not recognized for your efforts, it can be demotivating and demoralizing. It can make you question your abilities and your worth as an employee.


And when you finally do get promoted, you may find that you're not as prepared as you thought you were. You may not have the skills or experience necessary to handle the increased responsibilities that come with a higher position. You may struggle to adjust to your new role, and your performance may suffer as a result.


For me, the lack of promotion had a major impact on my confidence and motivation. I began to lose faith in myself and my abilities, and I struggled to stay focused and productive at work. It was only after I started looking for new opportunities elsewhere that I realized how much damage the delayed promotion had done to my career.


Delayed promotion is no promotion at all. It can have serious consequences for employees, and companies need to start acknowledging and addressing the issue. If they don't, they risk losing valuable employees who feel undervalued and unappreciated, and who may seek out better opportunities elsewhere.

The Car

One of the biggest financial mistakes I made in my life was purchasing a big car before investing in a house. At the time, I had just moved to Gurgaon and was eager to buy a new car. I ended up buying a car that cost me approximately 7L, and I was convinced that it was worth every penny. Although my mom advised me to invest in a house before buying a car, I ignored her advice because I believed that I could not afford a house with that amount. Buying a big car not only drained my finances, but it also caused a lot of stress in my life. Gurgaon is infamous for its traffic, and navigating through it in a big car was nothing short of a nightmare. I found myself stuck in traffic for hours on end, wasting precious time and money on fuel. Additionally, the car's high maintenance costs were a constant source of worry for me, and I found myself constantly having to pay for repairs and replacements. As a result, I paid around 20K per month for rent for 7 years, spent more money on petrol fo

On my way back home from Boston on the Commuter rail, I noticed two high school students sitting across from me who were intensely focused on a piece of paper, which appeared to be a Karnaugh Map problem. They were discussing the number of possible outcomes for the problem, and I couldn't help but be intrigued. As I observed them, it triggered a vivid memory from my own school days when I had written an algorithm to auto-solve K-Maps. I remembered the sense of satisfaction and accomplishment that came from solving those types of problems, and it was exciting to see these students engaging with the same type of challenge. It made me wonder how many other young minds are out there exploring the exciting world of computer science and programming. Ajmer, a small town in India, was quite isolated from the rest of the world during my schooling years. Computers were considered a luxury and obtaining an opportunity to use one was considered a privilege. Computer Science was a subject taugh
