What Are the Best Office Headphones? (under 3k)

Supporting each other through the ups and downs of work life

Day to Day Office

I’ve been working at a startup since 2018. We were in a temporary office on the outskirts of the city, but now we’re shifting to a prime location. The problem? We’ll have to pay for parking an extra ₹80K-₹1.3L per year.

It’s not a huge amount, and I can manage it, but it still feels like a sneaky pay cut. During the temp phase, we had free parking, which made it seem like parking would be covered permanently. Now, that’s not the case.

Should I ask for a raise to offset this cost? If yes, how do I frame the request without sounding petty? Would love to hear your thoughts! 🚦😕

Salary Discussions, Hike & Promotions

I recently switched jobs with a 48% hike, and my current in-hand salary is ₹35K. But after joining, I realized a few important things that weren’t mentioned during the interview.

1. No Phones or Bags Allowed – We have to keep them in lockers, which I wasn’t informed about before joining.

2. Working Saturdays – HR said all Saturdays are working but assured that one Saturday off per month would be introduced soon. I can't see that happening anytime soon

3. Phone Policy Confusion – When I asked HR why this wasn’t discussed earlier, they said it’s only for two months and won’t be the case at the new location (which was discussed earlier). But some old employees say the same rule applies there too.

4. Leaves – We get 21 paid leaves a year.

I’m already thinking of switching. Would it be too soon to leave within 3 months, or should I stay for at least 6 months? Also, since I just got a good hike, how much can I ask for in my next job?

Unexpected job policies: stay or switch?

Day by day i am getting more frustrated. I was hired as content Writer but now i am working on behalf of 3 people one content Writer + manager + e-commerce executive because executive above me left his job. 

So basically now i handle designers + writers their work sheets, tasks management, client emails, client changes, client calls and everything of content.  Though when asked for raise, ceo says its your job only you are not doing anything extra. 

I want to quit this so bad but financially i cant. And i am not even getting remote opportunities in content writing so i think i am doomed. This is dead end now.

I want to quit

I have been working in this company for 4.5 years. Joined at 2.2LPA. With small small hikes, at the 3 year mark, I reached 6.25LPA. After that I have never received any hike. They only changed my designation from Senior to Specialist. And that too I have not received any formal mail, just a notification from the internal portal. I am about to resign as I got a new job. Before I leave should I push for a formal hike and promotion, so that I can negotiate better for the upcoming HR round with the new employer? 

My expectation was 10LPA. But the new employer mentioned the offer would be around 7 to 7.5LPA as 10 is a higher hike percentage, and something like it's against company policy. What should I do here?

Haven't received a hike and promotion in 1.5 years. About to resign. Should I ask for a formal hike and promotion before I leave?

Hi everyone,

I am currently working as a frontend developer in a startup. This is my second company. Ive been working here for 10 months now

I have total of 2.3 yeo and im getting 8 LPA (7.5 fixed + 50k variable).

I see lot of people having lesser yeo earning more than me. Is my salary below market standards? My appraisal cycle is in june month and I dont think my manager will promote me to senior role. Hence i wanted to switch to another company. Is it fine if i switch within 1 year in a company
