Today, during the morning standup call CEO shouted at one of the employee for not responding to the messages in slack. He was travelling to some place. CEO argued that no matter what day, we're obliged to respond to messages & be available. Otherwise, we're equal to freelancers. 

Whats your take on this ?

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

Day to Day Office

Worked on a project from zero. Thought-through the idea, built the base, delivered the framework, and ran it till near-finish while my manager was on a 6 month leave.

Meanwhile, a colleague with a strong talent for saying “yes sir” to the right people kept requesting to be assigned. Eventually, he was.

I trained him. Not out of obligation, just so the handover was smooth.

A week later, I was told the project’s being scrapped due to low ROI. I was reassigned. He stayed back to "wrap it up."

Also got told, “Nobody asked you to train him.”

4 months later, he’s promoted and given an award for that project.

Sometimes it’s not about how well you work. It’s about who you work around.

The project that got me nothing , except a lesson

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

From penny-pinching to investing, let's talk money moves that would make Warren Buffett proud.

Personal Finance

On paper, it sounds like a dream 25 lakhs per annum. But after taxes, rent in metros, EMIs, family support, and lifestyle inflation, how much are you really “keeping”?

We glamorise CTC numbers without looking at what they mean month-to-month. A 25 lpa package could leave you with less breathing room than someone earning 15 lpa with smart planning and fewer liabilities.

So maybe it’s time to stop judging financial success purely by income. What matters more: your CTC or your peace of mind at the end of each month?
