Sad Clown

Saw this image in Flickr and that's how I feel at this moment. Just finished communicating the increment in salary to the team. We have a better pay out this year compare to last year (2009 was totally pathetic - due to the financial meltdown and crisis).

Everyone is smiling.

I am also smiling like this boy. Outwardly. As a manager.

But I am not happy.

Because, unlike everyone else, I am getting ZERO increment.

:'(

  2. Ringgit, I believe all increments are based on performance. So if you are not getting one, how come your staffs are getting it? Does that mean they are working and you are not? Anyway, money is so critical to most of the people these days, and this is a driver to many people's passion to work it seems. If you lose the passion, you basically are not contributing!

  4. Bahija - you may be right.
    But I always remember one observation you have where you said that people who are married or have kids will have durian runtuh most of the time. I think that observation or theory didn't happen on me :(
