PRIVATE SECTOR EMPLOYEES – STOP BEGGING FOR VALUE, START COMMANDING IT!

 

PRIVATE SECTOR EMPLOYEES – STOP BEGGING FOR VALUE, START COMMANDING IT!

by JK

We’ve all seen it.

Long hours. No weekends. Targets over health. Constant fear of termination.

But here’s the truth they don’t tell you — our power is not in their hands, it’s in ours.


Build Yourself Relentlessly


Knowledge: Learn something new every day. Make yourself too skilled to be ignored.


Skill: Master your craft until you’re the best in the room.


Attitude: Carry professionalism with pride, but never accept exploitation.


Networking: Build strong industry connections so your worth is recognized beyond one organisation.


The Mindset Shift


Stop fearing losing your job — start making your company fear losing you.


When you create value, when your expertise becomes irreplaceable, the tables turn.


That’s when respect, fair treatment, and opportunities follow naturally.


Leave the Non-Valuers Behind


If your workplace doesn’t value you, walk away without guilt.


You’re not a replaceable cog — you’re a skilled professional with options.


Remember:

Organisations thrive when we build them. They crumble when we walk out.

Let’s create such value that any place we work knows —

“If they leave, we lose big.”

The Silent Nexus in Infrastructure: An Unspoken Truth

The Silent Nexus in Infrastructure: An Unspoken Truth by JK Infrastructure is often called the foundation of a nation’s growth. In India , this foundation is expanding—expressways, metro lines , airports, renewable parks, and digital networks are rising at a historic pace. Yet behind the story of progress lies a silent nexus —a collusion of contractors, consultants, officials, and political authorities—that too often shapes projects not for efficiency, but for profit, influence, and short-term optics. The unspoken truth: cost overruns and poor quality are not always accidents—they are enabled by design. The Scale of the Problem As of late 2024, over 438 projects were delayed with cost overruns of more than ₹5.18 lakh crore . Reports repeatedly cite land acquisition, clearances, and scope changes —but field investigations reveal collusion and manipulation play a major role. Audit reports by the Comptroller & Auditor General (CAG) have flagged overruns in major schemes such as...

A Tale of Three Slogans: Innovation in Corruption and India’s Road Infrastructure

  A Tale of Three Slogans: Innovation in Corruption and India’s Road Infrastructure by JK   India’s road sector illustrates how governance models shape infrastructure quality. From “ khao aur khane do ” (eat and let eat – tolerate corruption) to “ na khaoonga, na khane doonga ” (I will neither be corrupt, nor allow corruption), and now “ hum khayenge, lekin khane nahin denge ” (we will take bribes at the top, but won’t let anyone else in), each slogan reflects shifts in power, accountability, and corruption. While earlier systems produced resilient but inefficient assets, today’s centralized model prioritizes optics over durability—leading to debt, delays, brittle assets, and public mistrust. Reform requires quality-based procurement , transparency, independent oversight, and accountability that flows upward.   1. From “Eat and Let Eat” to “We Eat, You Don’t” Pre-2014: Corruption tolerated, but engineers overdesigned assets. Roads built thicker, safer, and slower. Con...

Can We as Citizens,Redefine Our Perception of Government Officials as Public Servants?

Redefine your Perception of Government Officials as Public Servants?  In a democracy, the relationship between the government and the people is foundational. The Preamble to the Constitution of India begins with the words “ We, the People of India ’, affirming that sovereignty rests not with the rulers but with the citizens. Government officials—whether administrators, police, of bureaucrats—are, by definition, public servants . Their role is to serve, facilitate, and empower the people, not to intimidate or rule-over them. Yet, in practice, many citizens perceive officials as figures of authority to be feared rather than partners in governance. This distorted perception has grown over time due to hierarchical systems, colonial legacies, and instances of misuse of power. The pressing question is, can we, as citizens, change this perception and reclaim the constitutional vision of officials as true servants? The Constitutional Perspective The Indian Constitution envisions a governm...
