Day to Day Office

Unhappy with organization policy increments
Manager give me poor rating because I didn't fill goals sheet fully

Every office has one unspoken conflict…

No, not deadlines.
Not promotions.
Not even stolen tiffins.

We’re talking about the real war:
THE AIR CONDITIONER.

In our office, it’s a daily drama.

On one side:
The “Antarctica Squad” — people who want the A/C at 16°C and dress like they’re hiking Everest.

On the other:
The “Sun Lovers” — begging for warmth, wearing shawls like they’re in Shimla.

And then…
There’s me.
The neutral party.
The one just trying to survive — not sweat, not shiver, just exist.

Every 30 minutes:

Someone lowers the temp.

Someone raises it.

Someone secretly switches off the A/C.

Maintenance gets called.

A meeting is held.

One colleague even brought their own fan. Another carries a blanket. I’m thinking of installing a thermometer on my desk.

At this point, the A/C remote has more office politics than our team meetings.

Lesson:
Forget team bonding activities.
If we can survive the A/C wars together, we’re already family. ❄️🔥

Career Growth

I worked in a company for 20 years and suddenly put off role. Searching jobs I realised I am over age for various roles that I could do and less experienced for Leadership Roles as my exposure was limited. I always thought I am earning decent money and can work another 7 years and retire at 50. Though the younger generation is much smarter I still want to advise them (BFSI specific)
* Work in a role for max 2-3 years and switch when you feel you are done.
* By age of 30, if you are still earning less than 10 lakh you are not growing 
* By age of 35 you must become AVP as no company will hire AVP if you are more than 36.
*Be loyal to your self, not your organization. 
* Most importantly save atleast 30% or more of whatever your CTC. Donot spend much with every raise. 
* Buy a property, and pay loans before 35.

In tough times it's only Savings that give you cushion and peace nothing else

Stability vs Growth

It feels like everywhere you look, there's a new headline about Al taking over jobs and changing everything as we know it. It's easy to feel a bit overwhelmed, when you hear all that talk. Al isn't just about job losses; it's about job evolution and creation too! Throughout history, new technologies have always shifted the job market, and while some roles change or get obsolete, many new and exciting opportunities emerge.

Instead of focusing on the "Al is taking over" narrative, let's think about How Al can make our current jobs easier and more efficient. Imagine Al as a powerful assistant, not a replacement! * The new roles and industries that Al will create. Think about Al developers, ethicists, trainers, and specialists in countless fields.

* The opportunity to learn new skills and adapt. This is our chance to grow and become even more valuable in the workforce use this moment to empower ourselves with knowledge, not fear. What are your thoughts?

An Infosys employee was arrested for secretly recording women in the office washroom. Over 30 videos were found on his phone. This isn't just shocking, it's horrifying. Offices are meant to be safe, respectful spaces. 🙎

When will companies truly prioritize safety and surveillance in all corners, not just the visible ones?

Are we not even safe in our own workplaces?
