Day to Day Office

Hello friends, I have been working as a field sales person in Paytm company for 3 years. The first 2 years were good but after that it seems like we have no value. My work is not appreciated.They repeatedly ask me to leave the job. I have been working as a group leader in the company for 1 year now but they are not promoting me. They are promoting people who have no knowledge. Tell me what should I do. And give me advice for a good job.

Toxic Environment

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 😅

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?

Is a 25lpa salary really “rich” anymore?

Need suggestion on technical courses

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?

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.
