Hi everybody. 

So the story is that I started my journey in 2021 Dec. I started working as a Project Engineer since then I have worked on two projects. First as a Chatbot developer and second as a Capacity Analyst. Now the thing is that between the end of the first project and the start of the second project, a lot of things happened in my life. A car accident that changed my life and the diagnosis of heart arrhythmia.  I am suffering from heart arrhythmia and trying my level best to switch to the cloud. I am about to get the termination letter because of the bench policy. Now my question is. 
1) Should I join a BPO or something to earn because I am living in a 1BHK flat? 
OR
2) Should I take a break and start everything from scratch after my heart's procedure. 

I am confused. Also if anybody can guide me on how to get an entry level cloud job even if I have 3 years of IT experience please ping me. It'll be a massive help. 

Thanks👍

Hi friends, I am sharing an important information with you. I have recently joined HCL tech. Last December, 2024 my first quarterly appraisal was done. I got near about 7+ out of 10. As of now everything was okay. But this month i.e March,2025 I got only 30% of my EPB component. I then connected with my HR and Manager and RM also but no response. Everyone said, I will check it etc etc....then I talked to one of my colleagues and got to know that if the rating is below 8.5 then 20 to 30% of the EPB component will be credited. Wow 😂...really shocked. Every one in HCL has this issue or concern. So guys if you are a new joiner, be cautious about your quarter or annual rating. Do not accept less than 8.5 or else it will be hugely impacted to your salary slip.

Also 7.15 out of 10 is around 70%+...but how they were calculated 30%.. don't know...really bad policy implementation...I am now deciding to leave it now...

Hcl Tech EPB ( engagement or employee performance bonus) deduction issue.

Elon Musk's [StarLink](starlink) partners with [Bharti Airtel](bharti-airtel) to challenge [Jio](jio)  in India! The deal includes [StarLink](starlink) equipment in Airtel stores, business services, and rural connectivity for schools & health centers.

If priced right, this could be telecom's next big disruption after Jio’s 2016 revolution. Honestly, Jio’s service has been declining, and another telecom war might be exactly what we need. 

If Starlink-Airtel keeps it affordable, I’d consider switching! 

What about you?🤔

What do I do ? I am embarrassed 🥲 I will meet him in the office tomorrow. Please suggest Meri Fatri hai yaar appraisals ka time hai. 😭

*Update*  I had a connect with my Boss, I started the conversation and said, Ki kal tabiyat khrab thi but shaam tak concert ki tickets mil gyi Itna maza aaya "Sir", He said Chalo badiya hai, Now I dont know if it will stay in his mind till Appraisal feedback meeting ya "sab changa si" hi rahega :D
