Rohit Yadav, a young man from Pune, created an online post that attracted a lot of traction. In his post, he explained how he felt stuck at work, despite having put in all the hard work and an expectation of good work. Over time, he realised that his hard work alone would not advance his career. What enabled him to move forward was learning how to express his efforts appropriately.

Rohit shared four simple habits that added up to a noticeable difference at work that lead to his promotion. His post resonated with many online audience members, particularly for those who may be well-near their own circumstances. Overall, his habits at work were simple to start, he noted that they took time to produce, as well as a commitment to consistency. Yet in the end, they made significant impact on the way that his team and manager perceived him.

Lets explore the 4 habits Rohit embraced:

Weekly Wins
Every Friday, Rohit would reflect on the week and record three actions he had taken, regardless of size. This made him more aware of his accomplishments and allowed him to confidently discuss what he had achieved during performance reviews or team meetings.

Monthly Manager Updates
Once a month, he would send a brief message to his manager. The message focused solely on the impact of his work and what he learned during the month. “No filler. Just impact,’ he said,” which kept Rohit in sight of his manager without being boastful.

The Right Question
During one-on-one’s he would ask his manager; “What do I need to work on to be seen as ready for the next level?”, which generated an honest conversation about his areas for improvement, and prompted his manager to think of Rohit as a member wanting to grow.

Speaking Up in Meetings
Rohit made a habit of speaking at least once during every meeting, even if it was only to make a short comment or ask a question. He stated that this allowed him to establish his presence and show that he was engaged and paying attention. He also stated that people who don’t speak in meetings tend to be overlooked in promotion discussions.

Online Responses

Rohit’s post (and little explanation) ignited a large discussion on social media. Many people expressed appreciation for his advice, while others said it only works in positive and supportive workplaces.

One commenter said, “I tried this once, especially the monthly updates, but it didn’t make a difference. You need a manager that cares.”

Another said, “In favouritism places, these things probably won’t work, but still good advice!”

Others, especially those new to corporate jobs, found the tips useful, and said they would try them.
