Day to Day Office

few of my friends tagged me having a crazy time and it got posted on Instagram and guess what I completely forgot that my manager is in my list and to add on to it he also liked my story with a heart😑

What do I do ? I am embarrassed 🥲 I will meet him in the office tomorrow. Please suggest Meri Fatri hai yaar appraisals ka time hai. 😭

*Update*  I had a connect with my Boss, I started the conversation and said, Ki kal tabiyat khrab thi but shaam tak concert ki tickets mil gyi Itna maza aaya "Sir", He said Chalo badiya hai, Now I dont know if it will stay in his mind till Appraisal feedback meeting ya "sab changa si" hi rahega :D

I took a fake sick leave and went to watch Honey Singh's Concert 💀

Still 60 days are remaining in my notice period to end. But during interview I told the recruiter as my LWD is 2nd March. So now how to tackle them because if I tell them the correct date then I m sure they will not wait for me and will choose another candidate. How to make sure that they wait for me and I don't lose this opportunity. Any suggestions are welcomed.

Interview Tips & Stories

So, I got invited for this interview, and they told me to be there at 9 AM.  Of course, I get there early, like 8:30, because I don't want to be late. But then I end up waiting for 1.5 hours.  Seriously, they didn't even acknowledge me until 10.

Then this HR lady calls me in, and she's totally unprofessional.  She's like, on her phone, making personal calls while I'm sitting right there. And then she starts asking me these really weird questions, like what my nickname is, and what my dad does for a living.

It got really uncomfortable when she started pressing for details about where my dad works. I mean, what does that have to do with anything? So I politely told her I didn't want to answer, and she actually said, "Then we can't continue this interview."

I was honestly shocked. But instead of arguing, I just stood up and said, “Alright then.” And walked out.

I left feeling pissed. Not only did they waste an hour of my time, but the HR rep was also rude and unprofessional..

Got Rejected In an Interview, Just Because I Didn’t Answer a Personal Question

Salary Discussions, Hike & Promotions

I gave an interview in a company.  Technical round went very well and i some how managed to sneak into the final score which was 4.3/5. Hence i reached the HR round where i declared my expected salary to be 20 lacs. I was offered 17.5 Lacs in the end.(My current CTC is 12.7 Lacs). I denied the offer at the moment in clear words as my present job is in my hometown and I expect 20 LPA to move out of my home town. This interview was held in November . Yesterday in February i received a mail from the company telling me to go for pre employment medical checkup. An HR executive called and explained me medical procedure. I asked her about the final offer and she told me she will get back to me. I called her again after two days and she still told me that she will ask her seniors and get back to me. Now after 5 days of mail I am confused if I should call again or go for medical or still wait.

Confused about job offer

I’ve finally found a great manager. I used to think all managers were the same...demanding, controlling, and hard to please. But then I switched jobs and met my current boss. She actually listens to us, respects our time..no calls after 7 pm, and encourages mental health days when needed. Last week, she surprised the team with personalized thank you notes for our hard work on a project. It was a small gesture but made a big difference in morale. Honestly, working here feels like a breath of fresh air after years of toxic environments.
