So a manager in my team decided that one of the tasks I do must be handed over to a newer colleague, they didn't really ask me for my opinion... this is supposed to help me as I have a heavy workload. However I'm investing hrs in training this new colleague on how to do that thing, this month I have completed half of the task myself to "show them", I asked them to continue by themselves but I see no traction, so it will eventually be me the one doing the work but them the ones sending it 🤦‍♂️

I feel foolish and fed up of spoon feeding others and doing their work in the shadow. I don't know what managers are thinking when they make this type of decision, you're making someone 1) Give away part of their scope & impact 2) Making them invest even more time to train someone and very likely continue doing the work under someone else's name. Must say that this task is something I came up with and ended up being really useful for my org. so it's an original "passion" project of mine, so it makes even less sense to hand it over to someone who seems to have no clue or initiative to work on it.

Just tell your manager you want to keep it because it's your baby but come up with something else to give the new person.

Have you explained to the manager that the person doesn’t understand the task and isn’t performing to standard?

Based on the Gross salary offered I have calculated the in hand salary per month would be around 152000 considering 150000 in 80C, 50000 in NPS and 200000 deductions due to home loan interest. Total tax liability is around 400000. Any other options do I have to save tax further (other than HRA, LTA)? Thanks in advance.
