You missed 1 point. People bully silent employee. It happens with me. Now I'm working on my communication skills

Make a video on how to say NO to Boss and peers on different situations...

Heya, I am fresher with first appraisal done few months ago, can you please rectify me if got wrong understanding below ...... Manager rated me high, but salary increase percent was just 5; I thought it is manager duty only to rate and based on it increment is given which is automatic acc. to defined standard, not decided by humans and so not unfair and just my company suck even if it is MNC (still think its true) and So did not said or discussed anything to anyone ...... is this true or whom should I ask, business HR or team lead?

​@@ainovice6634 Hikes are generally low in MNCs until you are in top position. I have seen some people getting 2-3% hikes even though they worked all the time. Upskill yourself and switch. That's how it works. Don't ask your manager for more work, he might not help you that much. Instead upskill and switch.

​@@harkamalsingh6499 My manager did that 2-3 times. I left the team and now she realises that other team members are dumb 😂😂😂😂

That's really sad dear, hope you find something that works for you... all the very best!!

Same boat me toooo.

I also suffer from this attitude, have u any way to overcome??

@@birenrajput5934 By reading books, talking to minded people, visit temple take some spiritual blessing do hard work and believe yourself.

@@birenrajput5934 No idea. I might consider therapy.

This why I need to switch every 2 year.😅

Right

It's me😢

It's me. Corporate means show-off baazii

Where do you work?? Nikhil ??​@@ni-khil_raj

But most of the people around you are not introvert they judge people by vocal and networking

@@muhammadmafaz8530 It doesn't cause many problems unless you're way too shy. Shyness is not equal to introversion. So, if you're really shy, you may face challenges in promotion. However, if you're minding your business and greeting the client properly, it doesn't matter whether you're introverted or extroverted. Trust me, introverts carefully choose their words before clients, unlike extroverts who may sometimes say something they might regret later, causing problems in promotion. It also depends on the nature of jobs; for instance, sales jobs are not very suitable for introverts, but introverts excel in finance, accounting, data science, programming, etc.

I've been working for 10 years at the same company,my husband and I built the shop,part of my job is customer service.Never a complain from my boss,but now I heard they are planning to replace me,because I am too quiet!How can they say that,after all of these years of helping them build this business and helping the customers with all of their questions?I do not go and hide when a customer comes in,I do my job.

@@laura3619 Have you considered replacing your employer? It doesn't seem they appreciate you, so they're not good enough of an employer to be given the advantage of making use of your skillset. When an employer chooses to replace someone with a lot of experience, it's usually just a way to easily cut costs by getting someone way younger and paying them less. Most workers nowadays are however job hoppers, so in the long run it will end up costing them more.

@@laura3619 Start-ups or small companies are riskier for job security compared to established MNCs like HUL, ITC, Marico, Big 4s, and MBB. Additionally, they may also lack professionalism. As an introvert, I would prefer to work for an MNC with a reputable brand and would always avoid such firms or companies.

Yeaahh....instead of changing yourself you're blaming someone else... It's the rule, if u speak n show u get the results... Follow it instead of asking others to notice u... No one has this much time.. everyone has their problems in life..

Right said, If the management unable to find the right person and provide appreciation, that's the problem with management not in that person, Finally the company need a profit not a vocal person or show off person,

How would the leader know!? Unless the person take a stand for themselves and show what they did

@@boopathiraja8941 There are more show-off jobs tho, sadly

@@CraXxy Considering that most companies track your work, it's pretty easy to tell who has been working on what. This forced socialization and promotion of people who do very little while talking a lot is disgusting. I've had many toxic coworkers who will complain all day that they do a lot, but even after sitting with them the entire time, I've witnessed first-hand that they haven't done anything beyond socialize. Nonetheless, somehow, they get promotions while those of us who actually get work done are punished. It's basically high school.

True. It's better to work with a silent but responsible coworker than a talkative but lazy coworker. It makes work easier. Socializing is good but let's not forget our line of duty.

this is true

But they like to complain about the employees.

But Toxic Saale manager is the villain to the silent employees.

Introverts can use other channels -- Like One On one -- Or find time with manager to explain within 3 minutes . I am sure if MANAGER starts liking Introverts , they will give time for them to speak in meeting " WHAT DO YOU SAY ABOUT THIS .. WILL IT WORK?" . Gain the trust and utilze the trust .. It is hard but not impossible .. If MANAGER is bad , betetr change the team

Exactly

The most normalised form of discrimination, which i dare say is worse than any racial or caste based discrimination happens against silent people.

​@@anonymousman1282 I am a silent worker but I still got promotions faster than many co workers it is all about being smart not being loud or mouthy

@@anthonycosta128 i find it hard to make small talks, fake smile, act enthusiastic and find interactions with others interesting. What about you? Were these important for your promotion?

you gotta be tough. dont be a weak introvert. be a strong introvert. you be the one doing the bullying and pushing and the mistreating if you feel someone is stepping on your toes. you gotta stand up for yourself. being introverted doesnt automatically mean you're gonna get bullied, it also depends on your demeanor. you are probably are an easy target. (no offense) im an introvert but im not timid in the way i speak or the way i present and carry myself so this right away closes any door to anyone who even thought about trying to bully me into some submission or anything. im also really stubborn and dish things out when necessary. be cunning and ruthless if necessary. talk to them, get information out of them as you say little about yourself, this way it will be easier to control and bully the situation now that you have information on them and they have nothing on you. always be steps ahead of them. if you feel like anyone is about to undermine you depending on how they are starting to treat you, make sure you always have a backup plan. present yourself as a respectful person always, and seek out those who are a bit like you to make a group of like minded people root for you if things are about to hit the fan that way the blow wont be as hard as they anticipated. the more people you get to have on your side, the less likely anyone will undermine, bully or mistreat you. for example, you can be a quiet type personality/introverted, but talk to people on a 1 on 1 level, get to know them. be respectful to the point where if they talk bad about you they would feel bad about themselves or if they hear someone talking bad about you they can say things like "idk, that guy/girl seems to be a pretty cool/decent person to me". you can have such reputation and be a solid introverted quiet person. it all comes down to how you carry yourself. i hardly have any problems with anyone because im always a respectful person and i try to be as real as i can as possible. my judgement isnt too bad and im okay at reading people so i tend to always avoid those who i know are fake and full of it and keep those who are friendly, nice, respectful and authentic closer to me. keep the fake at a distant, just close enough to see how they think so you can really know what to expect from them. usually those who want to give you problems have already gave others problems so they will eventually weed themselves out. just be real, cool, respectful always, caring and authentic. but be hard and assertive. you got this. see it as a battlefield and you must observe the field and the people on it, coordinate yourself and how you are going to maneuver within the battlefield before you even start doing it. listen to those who like to talk mumbo jumbo all the time, they reveal a lot about themselves. always be sharp. the world is ruthless so you have to become more ruthless..

@@anthonycosta128i tend to disagree with you

Speaking when necessary instead of keeping mute brings both

LOL.. 🤣

They are keen observer. 😅

Agree, also they are more humble and aware and not irritatingly adamant.

observer means nothing, doing is anything

I am a silent worker but I still got promotions faster than many co workers it is all about being smart not being loud or mouthy

@@anthonycosta128 exactly man , It is important to know when to speak up not all the time , Skills are no 1 , People get promoted easily , Otherwise switch , No tension.

@@anthonycosta128youre not silent employee then… you must be that vocal types who escalates often in the name of being smart.

You are 100% correct. I'm a natural introvert and worked at a company for 8 years. I became successful and got raises without changing my nature. I let my work speak for itself. Just stay in your lane and don't let them pressure you into talking just for the sake of talking.

She is just saying to get out of your comfort zone. Considering a safer side

​@@G7AD1995 Hire me please. 😂 We can get along well. I hate politics at work, it's so backwards.

@aisha9744 -- You see , some one else is evaluating your work , in an INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTOR IC role , what you do becomes important -- Imagine you are given non important job , that itself an indication manager does not have faith in your work -- At the same time if you are key to the project , you can be super success without speaking also

Don't think you have any real time working experience in the corporate industry. Being 'vocal' is highly valued. Those who speak, raise concerns, ask queries are judged as being involved, attentive, interested and worthy of incentives, promotions, recognition and what not! By nature, you may be an introvert, but my experience says that being 'vocal' definitely brings about a change in the opinions people frame about you

Thats it.

True brother😢

💯

I am a silent worker but I still got promotions faster than many co workers it is all about being smart not being loud or mouthy and I can communicate when it is necessary people who don't communicate are not silent they are too shy with anxiety problems

silent people are mostly introvert who are highly intelligent who do not like to waste their time and energy in talking nonsense and discussing stupid thing but it doesnt mean if they are silent means they are not good in communication or they are scareddd of people but the truth are they are may be smARTEST PERSON in the organization and most brave but they try not to invovle anything which is not going to give any purpose in life.they are always misunderstood by everyone and highly effective people who do not like buttering and licking ass of manager.it is manager who is stupid enough to not understand that person.i have gone through all these things

U r not introvert then

@@sandeep7365 u are just shy lol

Exactly! I sometimes really feel that managers can be sh*tty at times

Interesting enough, I was part of a training session on building trust within team. One of the director level leaders mentioned they don’t trust people who don’t talk in meetings because these people are not responsible and that’s why they don’t talk. The trainer was shocked at this view and spent next 15mins on how introverts are source of creative ideas and it is the responsibility of the leaders to make sure an introverts voice is heard otherwise it’s a disservice to the team and in some countries it’s a form of discrimination.

Forget religion "psychology". There are no introverts and extroverts. There are people who know how to communicate and people who do not know. Those who do not know can be afraid of communication. But people can learn to communicate.

@@TheRVSN communication with words provides DETAILS, communication with actions provides VALUE. If your boss, who's job is to know what's going on, doesn't see the value you provide with your actions, they aren't doing their job.

I agree!

I am a silent worker but I still got promotions faster than many co workers it is all about being smart and proactive not being loud or mouthy

Really sorry dear, hope you find something really great.. wish you all the best 👍

@@theCorporateDiaries Thanks Varsha 👍

​@@KhalidKhan-hu4qi😢

​@@KhalidKhan-hu4qiNeed to know what went wrong so that I can learn from that I am also silent employee

So you lost your job just for being silent? How does that work?

Thanks so much for sharing your exp without any filter... not many people have guts to do that and most of us like to just put blame on office politics for our poor growth.. but there so many factors and one of them is "speaking up"... Kudos to you for bringing the change in you and getting the success you deserved.. 🙂

Yes, I also faced the same situation. One thing is clear marketing/presenting yourself is most important skill rather thank working skills. I seen the people who don't have qualifications but got the job and on just speaking skills they got promoted too. They know that they are not qualified so they underate the qualified one by making the groups & becoming very close person to manager & higher authorities then work is not important for them and not required too. I am not surprised by the fact now that why motivational speakers highly paid in current era. There must be category wise position 1.who will speak well 2. Who will work well For above types no qualifications required then. Education upto 10th or 12th is enough for these types.

You are so right. This is exactly the scenario is

You've raised an excellent point ! Direct managing is the free way for manager to act toxicly regarding their own ambitions or the upper management vicious strategy as constant layoff to maintain the pressure on others

I really don't think that has anything to do with it I've been pushed outfor talking too much and I've been pushed out for not talking enough

Very true

I can't agree more ! Well said ! 💯🙌🏾🙌🏾

Action speaks louder than words.All those silent employees who do their job well should be appreciated by Managers and given the same opportunities its all about diversity in the workplace.Its favouritism on the managers part and a toxic environment.

Real talk here !! 💯🙌🏾🙌🏾

Absolutely Vikas, its time the companies reform the work culture and even the hiring process, but changes like those happen very gradually and I am sure with more awareness we will some big shifts in future...

Only things which would happen before we die are important for us.

You will understand in future that you are not the only person who is hardworking/competent. So, speaking up is a huge differentiation between similarly competent employees. Communication skills is actually not that common, that's the reason you see our politicians r big on talks and distraction.

They Just give false promises And get away and nothing much. Of communication.@@randomnyss2011

Rightly said👍

That's true dear, things can appear really scary at first for us (introverts) but mark my words, if you gather little courage to speak your mind, you will make lot of progress... all the best!!

Ywa ur right we like sensitive people dodnt know how to deal , they say You will face the consequences.

I am thinking about the opposite. Acknowledging the employee's weakness is good, but I'd rather focus more on the employee's strength than weakness.

I'm currently learning to open up in college, speaking and asking the right questions to my teachers and friends, I still struggle but I'm trying my best

The same happened with me.. politics at work for being silent and eventually got laid off!

Actually I think I am not good enough on my technical skills. So I hesitate to speak up. But some other guy takes credit of whatever work i do.

Hahahaha ! I felt the same 😄
