When it's 5 pm before long weekend and your manager enters your area with this look

Weekend Vibes

Hey folks. Happy Friday! What this post is: a place to hang around and chat just about anything - without having a specific topic to discuss. Think of it like the watercooler at your office. Look forward to hearing from you all!

Hi All I resigned from my current company and my manager requested me to stop for atleast 1 more year as so many new projects are coming and I am only software developer in Data science team Since I am getting 70% from here so no reason to stop. He got angry as I rejected his request and now he is bombarding me with a lot of work and messaging me on WhatsApp for joining unnecessary meetings which never happened earlier. Although I want to leave on good terms, but these unnecessary tasks are frustrating. Any idea what shall I do ? Thank you

I have been on a permanent wfh role since covid. Yes, been 2+ years since I stepped into an office. I stay alone and have little expenses but also 0 social life. Friends are all spread out. Not on any dating app because its exhausting. Can someone just talk about any impacts on their personal life from work life? Does anyone here feel a void too? I’d love to connect.

I'll go first-- mic not muted.

Recently, a friend joined a bank. He was late to office a few times. To “teach him a lesson”, manager “changed his desk”. When he asked the reason for this, manager said “this is your punishment for coming late to the office”. I mean, is this school-level micromanagement rampant in your org as well?

Hello good people, What's the vibe going into the weekend? Let's use this space maybe for plans you have, stuff you're planning to watch or do, or just share how few people have turned up to office today. Also, if your manager denied your leave request 🙈 Look forward from hearing from you all :) Best, UnpaidIntern
