Career transition

Supporting each other through the ups and downs of work life

Day to Day Office

I’ve finally found a great manager. I used to think all managers were the same...demanding, controlling, and hard to please. But then I switched jobs and met my current boss. She actually listens to us, respects our time..no calls after 7 pm, and encourages mental health days when needed. Last week, she surprised the team with personalized thank you notes for our hard work on a project. It was a small gesture but made a big difference in morale. Honestly, working here feels like a breath of fresh air after years of toxic environments.

Finally Found a Manager Who Truly Cares

Hey, I just resigned from a role because it made me.do.work I was not hired for.Rather there was nothing technical about it and I am a guy from technical background. I'm getting calls from other companies but how to professionally answer the question "Why did you resign without any offer" or "why are you serving notice period without any offer in hand"
 

Any suggestions from people with prior experience or IT professionals is highly appreciated 🙂

Interview Tips & Stories

So, I got invited for this interview, and they told me to be there at 9 AM.  Of course, I get there early, like 8:30, because I don't want to be late. But then I end up waiting for 1.5 hours.  Seriously, they didn't even acknowledge me until 10.

Then this HR lady calls me in, and she's totally unprofessional.  She's like, on her phone, making personal calls while I'm sitting right there. And then she starts asking me these really weird questions, like what my nickname is, and what my dad does for a living.

It got really uncomfortable when she started pressing for details about where my dad works. I mean, what does that have to do with anything? So I politely told her I didn't want to answer, and she actually said, "Then we can't continue this interview."

I was honestly shocked. But instead of arguing, I just stood up and said, “Alright then.” And walked out.

I left feeling pissed. Not only did they waste an hour of my time, but the HR rep was also rude and unprofessional..

JiBe Development Services

Working at JiBe is a nightmare. The management is toxic, unprofessional, and abusive, with constant harassment and intimidation, especially toward Indian employees. Salaries are low, turnover is sky-high, and projects are always delayed because experienced developers keep quitting. HR is completely incompetent and even leaks employee salary details to their IT friends. Instead of fixing issues, management retaliates against those who speak up. Clients are constantly misled, and bugs never get fixed. If you’re considering working here or signing a contract with JiBe, run in the opposite direction.

1 out of 5

Hello,
6 months ago, I switched from my previous job to my current one with a 40% salary hike. At that time, it seemed like a great opportunity, but now, I am seriously considering my decision.
My previous job had,
1. A European MNC team with excellent support and work culture
2. Good Time for my family & personal life
3. Flexible timing & permanent work-from-home
4. 5 days working with proper work-life balance

Now, in my current Indian company:
1. 12-hour workdays, with additional work on Saturdays (despite a 5-day work policy)
2. No proper training
3. Toxic work culture, where I get scolded daily due to a lack of training
4. Hardly any time for my kids and parents
5. Started my health issues

My previous company is willing to take me back with a 10% hike on my last salary. Given the work-life balance, supportive environment, and long-term growth prospects I had there, I am thinking of returning.
*It is not going to impact on my monthly expenses.*
Would you recommend going back?
