For a lot of salaried people , Its little difficult to concentrate on work alone. for last 2 days of March. (31 March Financial Year End)A lot of people get their bonuses tomorrow.However many know the actual amount only a day before.
It becomes more complex as many people think of Bonus as their rightful due. (After all Its part of CTC - Cost to Company)
People get disgruntled observing that their bonus amounts are different based on which part of the company they belong to. (Normally we expect bonus % to be same for individuals getting same ratings, but in Capgemini it is NOT so)
Blog Revolution
In India FSSBU not many people actually know what is Blog or How to use it or even less participate in it.
A simple blog post by Vijay Ajwani triggered a chain reaction. Concept of Blog, that hardly gets read. much less commented on got 110 comments in a day. Even though Blog allowed anonymous posts still many people used their original names. I still have to see posts in KM20 which is being pushed as a defacto standard for publishing information. Yammer/Twitter/Gmail etc are all blocked in FSSBU.
The Capgeminis adlines " Do what you want and not what you can " as well as "Together release your energies " both were turned upside down for their negative connotations.
Normally people do not use/have a social media to vent their opinion. But somehow they figured it via Capgemini Blog. I concur this is a BIG WIN.
Note :
* FSSBU was one of the hardest hit Business Unit when the recession struck so in a way descrepency in bonus is not something that is unexpected. Those who are in Capgemini can view the actual blog post and its ever growing comments here . (Login required)
* The intresting part (in my opinion) is the amount of comments that got posted for a blog post.
* The new joinees for Capgemini, Caveat Emptor (Buyer Beware). check which BU you are going to join.
* All opinions expressed here are my own and do not reflect in any way what my Employer Capgemini thinks.

A year later ... the same story repeats from management side. FS which is now part of AppsOne still has its idiosyncratic ways in dealing with people in same GBU. No revolution this time.
ReplyDeleteNoone cares .. niether the giver nor the taker. those looking for new projects, get better help in getting new jobs outside CG. and you can join CG after leaving it instead of getting internal transfer. DO what you can, noone is taking care of your back.
