For those of you that moved to management, did your company offer any sort of training program before you became a manger or did you just jump in to it? My last company had a leadership program that had to be completed before you became manager but my current one doesn’t have this. Just curious how common it is!

It's a huge issue all over corporate America. As a former military officer who trained leaders I see gigantic gaps. The management training I do see does not touch the surface on what a manager should know. One side note leader does not mean the same thing as manager, but I am using them interchangeably in this case for simplicity.

Exactly—management training should be more extensive across the board.

At my previous and current companies (all small), this doesn’t exist — and it should. My husband’s employer does provide management training, but they are a global company. There are so many skills that need to be developed to be a trusted and effective manager, and it’s always a work in progress. Communication is a huge gap.

So true! It would be amazing if more companies offered it.

In my experience it’s pretty mixed, but those formal programs are actually kind of rare unless you’re at a bigger company. A lot of places just throw you into it and expect you to figure it out as you go.

Yeah that’s what I’m starting to think too. It’d be nice if they were more common!

No, I got my MBA when I was an analyst to prepare to be a manager

Mine has a program but you don’t do it right when you go into management. It’s more of a thing you do as it’s available to you.

As I'm moving to a new role in a small company, I have a doubt about my salary structure like the Basic salary part is only 20,000 while my take home is 62k after all deductions.

I'm concerned because the leave encashment & other things totally depends on the basic salary.

Are there not any rules for the Basic salary to be at a certain % of CTC or it depends totally on the company?

Also PF deductions they are offering only 1800 p.m but considering 20000 basic it should be 12% of 20000 right?
