Breaking the rope.

The case shared with us “Indian Players refuse to sign ICC contract”, demonstrates how as an employee we can negotiate with our employer (ICC in this case) to pull off a better deal. However, I would like to add that there were only a few teams (apart from India, there were Australian and South African team) who refused to sign the contract, whereas there were teams like England and Pakistan who signed the contract without any hotchpotch. I made this argument to highlight my point that unless you are highly competent, it is very unlikely that you can pull off a deal customised for you. From my past experience, I can add that it was impossible for me to have asked for such a deal as around 10,000 people joined my organisation that year and 387 associate itself on that day and being my first job, I was rather excited to join the organisation than to argue with my HR. Saying that I must also add that there was a idea forum in my organisation where every employee was encouraged to bring about innovative ideas be it in technological process or business process and credit was given to them, needless to mention these credit were meagre in comparison to the revenue earned by the organisation from that innovative idea.
However, as we scale the corporate ladder and gain competency, surely I can say that many of us won’t hesitate to pull off a better deal from our employer to nurture our innovative ideas or rather let go the job.
