How will you feel when you get to know your junior teammate whom you have trainer and given KT is actually earning more than you? I am switching job and when one of my teammate got to know about it he disclosed his salary to ask me company switching advice so now even before joining my new organisation and even after getting almost 80 percent hike I am feeling am under paid. I am feeling my junior is kind of 2 to 3 years ahead with just 1 year experience and me with a Mtech and 3.5 years experience feel like am under paid. How can I handle this situation

Toxic culture, micromanaging, work pressure, people politics. These should be the red flags for company isn't?

What prompts an employee to depart from their workplace? Is it not possible for the company to address and rectify its toxic environment? Will they persist in fostering a culture that compels employees to resign? Why is the burden always placed on the employee? Employees strive diligently to achieve positive outcomes. If the challenge lies in management practices, should the company not investigate this matter? Does a declining retention rate not serve as a warning sign for such organizations? There ought to be a mechanism for informing these organizations that the root of the problem lies within their management and corporate culture. Rather than addressing the underlying issues, employees seem to be fleeing from them. Securing a new position often requires more time and effort than simply leaving the current job.

Coworkers that act like Managers

Probably worse than regular micro-managers. Because at least they can say its their job. But regular a**workers who act like they can manage you drive me crazy. There's this girl at my work who used to be a manager at her old job but now she's just a regular part-timer like me. I swearrr she acts like she gets paid more than everyone else! We got hired at the same time for the same position but she acts like she's in charge of me. Every time she gives me a "task" to do I tell her that her tasks are a suggestion, not instruction, since she's no one's manager here. She's been a part of many disciplinary conversations regarding her bossiness towards others, but somehow still works here. She knows that no one here likes her, I'm just waiting for her to quit.😅😅

2 Days in Office, but the Stress is Real!

Even with just two days in-office, I'm finding it overwhelming. My commute has stretched to 45 minutes thanks to construction, and the office setup is far from ideal—no noise-canceling options, no natural light, and uncomfortable seating that’s left me with back pain. Most of my work involves conference calls and deep focus tasks, both of which I manage much better from home. I’m grateful it’s not a full-time office requirement, but the anxiety still hits hard every time I think about going in. Anyone else feeling this way?🤷‍♂️

Feeling trapped in a job that's draining the life out of me 😩

I'm working 9-10 hour days, sometimes even on weekends, in a field I'm just not passionate about. The stress is taking a toll, and I'm finding myself crying myself to sleep every night 😭. I want to quit, but I don't have any other job offers lined up. Any advice on how to make this transition smoothly? I'm starting to feel like I'm drowning here

My manager's perspective

So, my manager thinks we should keep working hard even if we get a bad appraisal. He believes we shouldn't chase ratings, appraisals, or perks directly, but instead focus on doing our best, trusting that these rewards will come naturally. What do you think about that? 🤔

Is this culture normal?

Joined a new company recently. Have heard a lot about the good culture within the team. However, within a month of joining, I saw one of the designer sharing the designs on the teams app at 2 AM in the morning. Upon asking him the next day, got to know that he had committed a deadline to his manager. However, the project was heavier than what he expected and it took him more time, so to meet the deadline he was working even after the office hours till late night. Shocked as hell! Do you guys still think the culture is positive and non-toxic which they bragged about initially?

Extended shift timing

In my company and in my team seo upworks. Most of the team members are serve extra time because the team lead every day around 30 min and same for me but I'm my case the time was avrg 45 extra. Because my Tl assigne some small tasks 10 min at the end of my day time. Even I do meetings with him about I can't extend my shift timing. Still he do this and when I skipp any task then he message and call me to do that task how to deal with this. Not this while at the time of reporting he take extra time.

My boss is stressed about everything 😤

Don't get me wrong, he's smart and genuinely cares, but his timidness is seriously holding us back. Sometimes I just want to shake him and say, 'Dude, relax!' 😤 Even the smallest stuff! It's like he's always on the edge of his seat, ready to panic. 😰 Any advice on how to deal with a perpetually worried boss? 😫

How can I further support my husband who recently lost his job?

My husband has had a pretty impressive career for someone completely self-taught, and he's always put a lot of his self-esteem in this bucket. He just lost his job as his company isn't making any money. It's a shame because he just started here not long ago - they swore they were doing well, It's a typical story, total disregard for people's lives. He usually finds work quickly, but the current job market is fueling his anxiety, which of course makes finding a job even harder because a total lack of belief in one's self means feeling hopeless.😥

Got documted on mail for missing the meeting with manager

I was occupied with other work and missed to check the calendar and missed the scheduled meeting ,I accept that it was miss from my end and it was not an intentional act , but getting documented is so demotivating and frustrating. I feel to show the higher ups and my manager is working(by documeting me) why they want to get highlighted but at the cost of penalizing their reportees.

Is it better to leave a role early on or stay at least a year even if you know you're still going to leave?

I was promised work-life balance, WFH flexibility, and a clear role but got shifting org structures, added tasks, and OT rules I wasn’t told about. It’s the second time this has happened. Should I leave early knowing this isn’t for me or stick it out for a year to avoid a short stint?

I'm starting to feel like a corporate robot, answering the same old questions, day in and day out. Sure, I can solve the most problems at work , but is that really all there is to it? I need a spark, some inspiration, something to make me feel like I'm actually making a difference. Has anyone else been in this boat?

How similar are work and dating

You join a company thinking I'll find a better role in 3 months and I am outta here Cut to, you are 9 months with them, comfort is setting in. It is not bad if you stay longer, anyway who will take the effort of meeting new employers, go through same questions to find next one So now you have to have THE talk "What are we?" "Where do you think this is heading?" "Do you also see us long term?" P.S. Tuesday random thoughts about work situation ship 😂

Unbelievable!

Intel just laid off 15,000 people, and now they're trying to buy us off with free coffee and tea? Seriously? After slashing our benefits and job security, this feels like a slap in the face. They think a warm beverage can compensate for the stress and uncertainty they've caused. This is not the kind of company I want to work for.

How to Get My Diwali Leaves Approved

I am planning to take leave during Diwali weekend (October 29-3 Nov.) to go to my hometown. Unfortunately, three other colleagues have also requested leave for those days. I am the newest member of the team and I am concerned that my request may not be approved.😓 I would like to know if I should write a formal letter to my boss or HR requesting leave. I am worried that this may seem like I am going behind my colleagues' backs. I need a strong reason to support my request that they cannot ignore.

Leaders & managers should be a part of discussions & meet when the situation is beyond. Managers expect to loop them in each meetings & mail chains. Isn't this micromanaging or lack of trust ?

Why Are My Coworkers Being Mean?

I'm really confused about why my coworkers,, are giving my boyfriend a hard time. We've been friends for a year and I've always been kind and helpful to them. On Fridays, we all hang out after work and have a lot of fun. Lately, though, they've been making little digs about my boyfriend. It's weird because they've never met him. He just drops me off and picks me up on Fridays, and I never say anything bad about him to anyone at work. I'm wondering if there's something I've missed or if they're just being mean. What to do?

HR's inappropriate behaviour

It's going to be one month in just 5 days of my internship and today my hr said you should go to your college don't waste your time here(indirectly he was asking me to leave) if you just want internship certificate I'll give you, I clarify him that it is not about certificate it's about my career development about my professional skills it's not just a certificate which matters😣, I'm good at speaking and today he said you should practice for speaking if you want to come here, to whom would I talk and about what, during this time period I used to just sit for the whole day long without any work coz they don't give work,you man don't even give me work and I can only do is sit there and passing time on screen waiting if hr would come and give me work. He just broke my confidence level.🙁 Suggest me should I stop going for this internship there or not?

Heights of Hypocrisy

Saw my previous manager posting on Ratan Tata's demise with words like, "feels like a personal loss", "You inspired me a lot", etc. Whereas in real life, she is exactly opposite of what sir Tata was. She's one of the most selfish, greedy and nosy manager I have ever had. Once even denied me a leave for a family emergency whereas herself went for a 15 day vacation 1 week later! And now posting things like this just to get attention! Pathetic!
