For being visible, you just have to take care of your appearance, pretending to be self-confident every time no matter what you say, talking with the right tone of voice and being able to do chit-chat and jokes. That's it. It doesn't matter your real contribution, your ideas, etc. We live and work in a very basic and superficial society, where a lot of people are not that smart.

Can you do a video on speaking up in a meeting?

[HuzefaIqbal-]

Thanks for the wonderful advice. It’s so true that there are some really pushy people in the workplace who try to take away others’ credit in order to look good in front of the managers. How do you make sure your ideas are not ‘hijacked’ by someone else for their own benefit. Can you make a video about this. Thankyou

My manager's manager provided comment like i need to enhance design and solutions in software development l. But my solution and design never failed to meet client expectation. More importantly he is non technical guy. I asked my manager why i get an comment like this and average rating. He told me that he don't know and i responded back that i don't resume my work. I put my work on hold on last Friday. I will be having a call with my manager's manager tomorrow. What can i ask him when comments and rating cannot be changed when it is already allocated? Please let me know.
