The habits included:
1. Weekly Wins: Mr Yadav would document three accomplishments every Friday, no matter how small. This helped him gain clarity and confidently discuss his work during reviews.
2. Monthly Manager Updates: He would send a concise message to his manager, focusing on outcomes and lessons learned. This kept him visible without coming across as boastful. "No extra words. Just outcomes. And it made me visible without bragging," he said.
3. Asking the Right Question: During one-on-one meetings, Mr Yadav would ask, "What do I need to improve to be seen as ready for the next level?" This question opened the door to honest feedback and shifted his manager's perception of him.
4. Speaking Up in Meetings: Mr Yadav's fourth habit was to actively contribute in meetings, even if it was just a brief comment. "It built my presence and showed initiative," he said. By speaking up, he ensured he wasn't forgotten, noting that silent contributors often get overlooked.
The post sparked a lively debate on social media, with users sharing their thoughts and opinions. While some praised Mr Yadav's advice, others pointed out that such strategies may only be effective in supportive work environments.
One user wrote, "I have tried some of your points, especially 2, never worked for me. I believe you need to have a supportive manager who listens and cares."
Another commented, "This doesn't work where favouritism works, but again u can't change manager, but u can change manager."
A third said, "I'm new to a corporate environment, so thanks a lot for these tips. I will start it right from tomorrow."
A fourth added, "Thanks for this great info, brother."

Anil Ambani's Reliance Group charts next phase of growth with focus on defence, renewables
New Delhi: Anil Ambani 's Reliance Group will focus on defence, power and clean energy sectors to chart the next phase of growth that will train resources on innovation and value creation, it said on Sunday. Just as financial crime-fighting agency, Enforcement Directorate concluded searches at locations linked to the group as part of an investigation into alleged money laundering and siphoning of public funds, over 100 top leaders from its two listed firms -- Reliance Infrastructure and Reliance Power -- convened in Mumbai on Sunday to reaffirm their commitment to its ambitious growth roadmap. "After the unanimous approval by the Board of Directors of Reliance Infrastructure and Reliance Power , just a week ago by both boards to raise Rs 18,000 crore by way of equity and debt to fund growth across defence and aerospace and renewable energy sectors, the meeting reflected unity of purpose, renewed vigour and a shared resolve to deliver long-term value for stakeholders," the group said in a press statement. The two listed firms in separate statements earlier in the day stated that the action by ED has concluded and that the company and its officials have fully cooperated with the authority. "Action by ED has no impact on business operations, financial performance, shareholders, employees, or any other stakeholders of the company," they said. In the statement on the leadership meeting, the group said its two listed companies -- Reliance Infrastructure and Reliance Power -- are "nearly debt-free, have net worths of Rs 14,883 crore and Rs 16,431 crore, respectively, and have 50 lakh public shareholders, one of India's largest shareholder family." The leadership meet, it said, spotlighted high-growth verticals driving the group's future strategy. Reliance Infrastructure's focus will be on defence and aerospace, which includes plans to manufacture Falcon 2000 business executive jets in India for global markets in partnership with Dassault Aviation of France, strategic partnership with US-based Coastal Mechanics to establish MRO and overhaul hub in Maharashtra, partnership with defence manufacturer Rheinmetall AG of Germany, and strengthening strategic partnership with Diehl Defence of Germany for guided munition/terminally guided munition (TGM). The "aim (is) to rank among India's top three defence exporters -- strong commitment to the Indian defence markets and ' Make in India ' and 'Atmanirbhar' initiative of the Government of India," it said. In the power business, its electricity distribution utility BSES that services more than 53 lakh households, covering two-thirds population in Delhi, will focus on continued excellence in smart, sustainable power delivery and sourcing clean green energy for Delhi in the next five years. In the renewable energy space, the group is focusing on solar and battery storage. Reliance Power is focused on an operating portfolio of 5.3 GW. It has secured renewable energy projects of 3.3 GWh of solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) projects, Asia's largest solar-plus-storage project. "Pursue your goals even in the face of difficulties, and convert adversities into opportunities -- the spirit of the group's legendary and visionary founder, Padma Vibhushan late Shri Dhirubhai H Ambani, resonated throughout the discussion," the statement added. While Reliance Infrastructure also has interests in defence manufacturing and plays a key role in infrastructure development through special purpose vehicles (SPVs), including projects like the Mumbai Metro, Reliance Power has a total installed capacity of 5,305 MW, including the 4,000 MW ultra mega power project in Sasan, Madhya Pradesh.

Man Slams Office Culture Of ‘Looking Busy' To Impress Indian Bosses: ‘Self-Induced Toxicity'
Last Updated: A man shared how his friend working at a mid-sized IT company regularly finishes their tasks by 6:30 p.m. but doesn't leave for hours. Work-life balance has been a long-standing topic of discussion, with companies often making lofty promises but rarely delivering. Recently, a man spoke up about a common reality in Indian workplaces: employees staying logged in even after finishing their work, just because their manager hasn't signed off yet. He labelled it an 'outdated mindset" that prioritises presence over productivity. In a Reddit post, the man shared how a friend working at a mid-sized IT company regularly finishes their tasks by 6:30 p.m. but doesn't leave for hours. Why? Because their manager often stays online until 8, and the team feels pressured to do the same. 'It's not like there are pending tasks. People literally just scroll through Instagram, keep half-heartedly typing, or pretend to be busy. The reason? No one wants to be seen leaving 'early" while the boss is still around," wrote the man. Furthermore, questioning such practices in the Indian office, the Reddit user wrote, 'His friend finds it really frustrating, but feels pressured to stay just to maintain 'visibility.' Are other Indian workplaces like this too? Or is this just an outdated mindset we're still clinging to where long hours = good work, regardless of productivity?" Online Users Share Personal Experiences The post struck a chord with many Indian professionals, sparking a flood of responses from people who said they've faced the same situation. One user wrote, 'This is self-induced toxicity. Someone just needs to break the chain. Who knows, maybe even the manager will start leaving early too." Another individual noted, 'In my last company, work timings were till 7 PM and once my CEO complained that I'm leaving as early as 7:30 PM, leaving a bad impression on other employees. Folks were staying till 8:30 PM, and I, as a team lead, should not be leaving earlier than reportees." A person also shared the repercussions of standing up for themselves. The user wrote, 'Been there done that, one day I just said to my manager, I feel sleepy, and I am logging off, that's it, although I faced some criticism from them for some days." While many agreed that such practices are widespread across workplaces in the country, others pointed out that there are a few companies actively trying to break away from this outdated culture. view comments First Published: July 28, 2025, 08:38 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
