[Yes Madam](yes-madam-beauty-services-at-home) , the "fake firing" stunt highlighting workplace stress has sparked outrage. 

Is shock value the new marketing strategy, or is this crossing the line? Where do we draw the boundary between awareness and manipulation?🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Hi everyone,

I have 3.6 years of IT experience and currently work at a service-based company in Pune. My current CTC is 14 LPA (13.5 LPA fixed).

I recently received an offer from Novartis Hyderabad as Data Analyst level 3 with a CTC of 19.9 LPA (18.3 LPA fixed).

Is this a good offer, or is it on the lower side for my experience? Would appreciate your suggestions!

Any answers from people working at Novartis pls ?

My coworkers are stalking me at work and home. They act friendly, but threaten and follow me, and got my neighbors to harass me. They say I'm "territorial" because I'm anxious around people. They insult me, interfere with my work, and watch me at home. They even followed me to therapy.

I know they're real because they mess with my work computer and phone. I'm afraid they'll follow me if I change jobs, and I don't know who to trust to report them to

My coworkers are stalking me😑

Landing job in Dubai

Hi all,

I am desperately trying to land a job in dubai for past 3 months from india.

I like being just okay at work. Since I moved to a new company, I've decided to slow down. In my old place, I used to be a super star, but they made me do way too much. They knew I could do it, so they just kept piling on the work. I was always stressed and tired.

Now, in my new job, I just do my job, and that's it. I'm not trying to be the best. I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do. And you know what? I'm much happier.

My boss doesn't expect me to do amazing things anymore. They just want me to do my job. And that's fine with me. Has anyone else felt like this?

I like being just okay at work.

Hi friends, I am sharing an important information with you. I have recently joined HCL tech. Last December, 2024 my first quarterly appraisal was done. I got near about 7+ out of 10. As of now everything was okay. But this month i.e March,2025 I got only 30% of my EPB component. I then connected with my HR and Manager and RM also but no response. Everyone said, I will check it etc etc....then I talked to one of my colleagues and got to know that if the rating is below 8.5 then 20 to 30% of the EPB component will be credited. Wow 😂...really shocked. Every one in HCL has this issue or concern. So guys if you are a new joiner, be cautious about your quarter or annual rating. Do not accept less than 8.5 or else it will be hugely impacted to your salary slip.

Also 7.15 out of 10 is around 70%+...but how they were calculated 30%.. don't know...really bad policy implementation...I am now deciding to leave it now...
