"Feeling the weight of work-life imbalance"

"I'm finding it increasingly difficult to juggle the demands of my work with my personal life."

"Long hours are leaving me with little time for family,"

 "Constant pressure to be available is impacting my mental health," 

"Lack of flexibility makes it impossible to attend important personal events."

I'm concerned about the long-term impact this is having on my well-being and am seeking advice from others who may be experiencing similar challenges.

Supporting each other through the ups and downs of work life

Day to Day Office

Because:

1.We’d rather hang out with aging parents than office vending machines.

2. Our toddler is cuter than our cubicle neighbor (no offense to their questionable lunch smells).

3. We'd rather have dinner with our spouse than gossip with random flat mates about that one nosy landlord.

4. A weekend getaway with childhood friends > surviving rush hour for a team lunch.

5. Saving on fuel, rent, and overpriced sandwiches feels smarter than just surviving paycheck to paycheck.

6. Traffic jams aren’t fun, and meetings don’t require our physical presence just decent Wi-Fi.

But alas, corporate reality insists on strict office check-ins while happily making us join 11 PM global calls from home. So, here’s the million-dollar question: If we deliver stellar work remotely, why does our location matter?

It's not about productivity, is it? It's about clinging to old processes in the name of “culture.” Or maybe someone just really likes office coffee.

I have offer from 3 orgs
1. Deloitte
2. Thoughtworks 
3. TCS 

Decided to join Deloitte on March 05, which is the DoJ of other two as well. 

I wanted to know when is the right time to inform tcs and thoughtworks that I'm not joining their orgs, and what's the best reason to give?

I wanted to have a backup offer if in worst case deloittes offer messes up.

How soon should I say I'm not joining the org.

Whether big or small, a win is still a win.
What’s something you’ve been feeling proud of recently?

What's your latest win in life?
