I think working here is waste of time I am in thoughts of switching the company where there won't be calls in the late nights, Saturdays and Sunday's

If companies ask us to work from office, should we ask for a desktop instead of a laptop?

Career Advice

I spent 4 years getting an engineering degree. Then 3 more years building “corporate experience.”
Learned Python, Java, debugged more issues than I’ve had hot meals.

And guess what I earn?🥲

25K a month.
Yes, a whole 25,000 shiny rupees to be a glorified Google searcher who knows how to “fix backend issues.”

Meanwhile, YouTubers making “A Day in My Life” vlogs with 3 cuts and a cringe transition are pulling in lakhs per month. Just because they can say “Hi guys, welcome back to my channel ☕.”

Did I choose the wrong career? Or the wrong country? Or the wrong life?
(Asking for a broke, overworked friend. And for myself.)

Does tech even pay in India anymore? Or is entertainment the only profitable industry left?

Day to Day Office

I’ve noticed this happening more and more in my company and even in some big names where Gen Z employees just leave without any prior notice. Not even serving the notice period… sometimes not even officially resigning. Just disappearing.

And honestly, as millennials, we still feel guilty just writing the resignation email. So when we hear someone say “maza nahi aa raha” and leave without any process, it really makes us pause.

If you think HR doesn’t keep track of this, or it won’t matter later please know that it can affect future opportunities.

Leaving a job is totally okay. But leaving professionally and respectfully? That matters too. 

Let’s not burn bridges before we even cross them.

Gen Z, please stop ghost quitting

Woke up to heavy rain, got ready anyway, reached office and... it’s just me, the security guard, and one confused intern 😂
Apparently, rain = mass WFH mode now.

Anyone else’s office turns into a haunted building the moment it drizzles? Or is it just us pretending to follow “flexible culture”? 👀

Rainy day or unofficial holiday? Office feels like a ghost town today 😅

Career Growth

I always believed a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) was meant to help an employee grow. But reality hit differently.

Some were put on a PIP without any prior warnings, no clear expectations, and no proper guidance. It felt less like a performance correction and more like a personal vendetta. The same managers who failed to support or understand challenges were quick to question, criticize, and push into PIP mode — just to show power or settle scores.

Performance issues should be handled with constructive feedback and mentorship. But in some companies, especially under insecure leadership, PIP becomes a silent weapon to corner individuals or force resignations.

PIP is for Vengeance, Not Performance – A Tool Misused by Insecure Managers

One of our colleagues was so enraged because our manager was forcing the employee to work a rotational shift and making him work hard.
We can all see he was too hard on him, but we thought it was part of work and our manager's behavior with everyone....... 
That person went so much into rage that he poisoned extra caffeine in our manager's coffee. He is old, suddenly collapsed after one drink, the blood pressure shooted but after drinking water, he got normal.............. That's what they call the taste of his own blood. Also, a colleague left the job after all this drama.

is it what managers want now? Waiting to get poisoned?
