Last week has been very lucky for me. I have some good news to share with friends, below is the summary of them. No doubt, it took lot of efforts but finally I am happy to see the results.
Day 1:
I was sitting in my office, when my manager came to me and took me to huddle room, I was expecting some business discussion but he said “Congratulations, Now you are permanent employee and you have got 45% increment in salary effective January 2008, which is the highest possible increment and needs approval from functional lead”.
I was on probation for 6 months and was glad to hear this news.
Day 2:
I reached office on 9:00am as usual. After an hour I was informed to be in OND (October, November, and December) business update, all employees of the company are supposed to be there. It also includes the awards part. In last, my functional lead came on stage and told every one that “In December, one guy has been working twice than his job responsibilities and leading the team in his manager’s absence, I am happy to announce an outstanding performance award for Mr. Om Batra”.
I was pretty good experience to get the award in front of whole organization. I will also get some money for it.
Day 3:
I was sitting at home around 7pm, Electricity was off but Internet was working in my laptop due to electricity back-up provided by building management to switches. That time an email update popped up in my Google Talk informing that I have got an addition to email conversation from IEEE Region 10 director which announced that “Effective today, I am appointed as IEEE Region 10 Student Representative (RSR) and part of the IEEE regional committee. My job responsibilities are to attend the regional executive committee meetings, student activities meeting and increase student activities in region 10 by helping regional student activities chair around the globe”.
I am going to India this month to attend the first meeting of this year.
That’s it for now. I will surely like to share the journey from IEEE student member to IEEE RSR.
