If we have manager blessings, the chances of getting a good hike are more.

Even good performance also won't be considered for a hike.

Many certified architects, but no use in case of facing some technical challenge.

Less number of resources to work on actual assignments, but more number of people to supervise without proper guidance. Their only job is to ask for the status.

For 1 hour of work, need to spend 3 hours to report status to multiple channels.

Continuously no hike for years.

Even managers manage/control the internal feedback portal ratings at Peakon.

A resource performs excellently and it made good business and client delight also. If they decided not to give any hike, they will avoid by simple reasons like "resource has not completed enough learning hours," or "resource not done any certifications," etc.

They hardly give leaves; always billing conscious. Managers feel taking leave is a crime, but they can avail as many as they want.

Focus on real performers and their hikes & personal life balance.
