Some managers have better reach in the company and this let's their team be at the top of everything. I have seen people get promoted and praised just because of their managers reach to upper management and rest are left for scrambles many a time not because they don't work hard enough but because their manager doesn't cares about their job that much or maybe doesn't has that level of reach in the company These well fit in managers tend to benefit their entire team with more opportunities, better salary packages and benefits than rest. Is this trend everywhere ?

Being anonymous gives me a safe space. But life is getting tougher than ever each day. I wish I had a better paying job. I wish I had time to have slow mornings. I wish I could provide for my family and give them the things they much deserve. I wish I had a chance to rewire rewind and restart. I wish I could do more than I wish to do. It's all wishes guys . It's all hopes. . Nothing seems fulfilling. Nothing seems to make me happy. I have forgotten what carefree days were like. Adulting is kinda hitting hard. I am not able to cope up. Can someone relate?

Layoffs are bad I know, but there's always a silver lining Now since that's in the past, we can ponder what was good

So I was a top performer in my team, and the most tenured after my boss. My boss still wouldn't praise me enough or give visibility of my work to his seniors. Guess he was always insecure that I would shine brighter. So I decided to take my boss out by putting him under significant stress by making his role irrelevant. By simply DOING HIS WORK I started doing his work and and making decisions he is supposed to be making. Specially during a week when he was gone - I pretty much acted as a pseudo boss for the entire team. The final nail in the coffin was I somehow setup a meeting with my boss' boss and told him exactly how poorly managed our team was and how insecure my boss would behave. 6 months later my boss looked outside for a role and exited the company And this performance review cycle I still did not get the promotion. They're saying they'll bring another manager above us but they haven't promoted me. FML

To me? "Congratulations! We are giving you a one-time cash bonus of 1L." This was for a deliverable I ideated and executed end to end. Unfortunately, it was recognition too late because I was already planning to resign, which I did in the next week. 😂🤡

During my B.Tech, I balanced my studies with active participation in clubs and committees, and also engaged in sports and exploration. Aspiring for a non-core placement, I didn't participate in hackathons or apply for internships. After graduation, I pursued various paths, including preparing for the CAT exam with only three months of preparation time, but I didn't succeed. I then applied to several companies for data analytics roles but kept making new mistakes in each attempt. In one instance, I was rejected for oversharing my passion for data science in a final interview. To improve my chances, I optimized my resume and completed significant projects, but these efforts haven't yet yielded the desired results. Realizing the challenges of relying on a single target, I also started preparing for the GATE exam. Reflecting on my journey, I recognize that I should have applied for on-campus opportunities, as off-campus job hunting is challenging and unpredictable, regardless of one's preparation. Tell me your story? In order to get some hope that we can make it and it's never too late

I have seen almost every event this olympics live or through highlights. Heck I saw even the qualifiers for all our athletes. What happened truly bums me out. The several 4th place finishes. What happened with Vinesh Phogat. And then Neeraj being unable to win gold (we should not expect a gold from someone twice, he is already a legend). But the heart wants more (yeh dil maange more). A) I don't want to say it's our athletes. Suddenly everyone is spreading that narrative, that they don't have a winning mentality. Look. One athlete may not have it. But several? This is their fucking lives. If you were in their position, would you not try your hardest? So aren't they trying their hardest? B) I don't nearly know enough to blame it on our government or our facilities. Sure, they would suck. But it hurts to see Pakistan and North Korea above us. So I won't take the resources argument. C) The truth is. In a nation of 1.4 billion, we produced 0 golds. China in a similar economic condition (1990s) used to get 20-30 medals easy. It's us. All of us. Let's focus on sports. We have got to do better. I am not a parent today, I will be tomorrow. I promise to: - Encourage my kids to take up sports, and support them fully through it if they want to - Not be that society uncle who keeps the football when it goes near them We can only do our part. Cheers.

Does that mean the hiring bar us high in us? I simply don't understand, like these people were studying with me and they didn't know shit and you don't get enough time in us to ramp up skill levels. So is it that basically it's easier in the USA?

I want to share my experience as a fresher at Accenture, my first company from a college placement. The first six months were fine, but then I faced severe mental harassment from my supervisor and manager. She constantly criticized my work and gave negative feedback, causing me immense stress. I often skipped meals and worked weekends to improve, but nothing helped. Despite reporting the issue and requesting a supervisor change or a different track, my requests were ignored. The harassment worsened, affecting my physical health, and I couldn't eat or sleep properly. My manager controlled trivial aspects like where to sit and whom to talk to, making the situation unbearable. I was even forced to switch from a developer role to a tester, despite being trained as a developer. The final straw was being placed on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) without a clear reason, with the same harassing individuals assessing me. I only had 1.9 years of experience then. I reported the mental harassment to HR and resigned due to deteriorating health, panic attacks, and weight loss. Despite having no other job offer, I couldn't continue. Even during my notice period, I was forced to complete PIP assignments, which led to suicidal thoughts and further health issues. Now, I am jobless, feeling helpless and frustrated. With less than 2 of experience, I struggle to find offers in a down IT market and don't know what to do next.
