Supporting each other through the ups and downs of work life

Day to Day Office

We don’t check the driver's skills before booking a cab. We trust the cab provider.

We don't check the ingredients of a body lotion before applying it to our skin. We trust the brand.

We don’t check the hygiene of the kitchen while dining out. We trust the restaurant. 

Then why request for a weekly review with the team we've selected ourselves?

Too much reviews break the workflow, waste the bandwidth and create trust issues within the team!

Reviews are needed but only when required not on the basis of your insecurity!

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

Interview Tips & Stories

One thing I’ve personally learned is that it’s really important not to overtalk during interviews. Once you cross that line, you unknowingly start oversharing. And we often forget that interviewers are actively listening to every single word  not just casually nodding.

In one of my interviews, the person was super friendly, and I got too comfortable. I ended up talking openly about some of my weaknesses… and guess what? He used that against me later. 
So yeah, be mindful of what and how much you share, even if the vibe feels chill.

Avoid overtalking in interviews speaking from experience

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?

News

Mumbai got slammed with 100mm+ rain in just 12 hours. IMD's issued an orange alert, Metro Line 3 is down, roads are basically rivers, and the local trains are crawling. A lot of offices are half-empty or fully remote today some companies even let employees crash at work overnight.

And honestly, today was a mess for me too.
Left home at 8:30 AM thinking I could beat the rush. Got stuck at Sion for over an hour, water halfway up my legs. Auto guy ditched me mid-route, and I ended up walking 3 km just to reach an office that had 4 people and no Wi-Fi because of a power cut. 😩

Lesson learned: Never underestimate Mumbai rains, and always keep an extra pair of socks.

Anyone else go through this chaos today? Or did you wisely choose to WFH?

Rained all night in Mumbai! offices half empty today

I walked out of an interview today. This was my third interview with the company. Interviewer goes on to mention there's a fourth interview with the manager and I said nope. I stood up, and said "you've met me 3 times already and should know if you want to hire me at this point. I am not doing a 4th interview." She was shocked. I wish I took a picture of the look on her face. She kept saying, "but I really like you." And, "no one's ever done this before." Nope, don't care.
