This guy has some wierd obsession with ADHD. He mentions it even in his other posts and comments

I'm more concerned with the chutyas who are so far up his anus they're practically gut flora and fauna. I mean I get this guy is a fraud / failed entepreneur ka 14. But what kind of desperation / slavelord mentality has you finding any likeness with this crap. Sala agar desh mein itna jobs ka akaal nahi hota toh ek ek g**** ka naam aur company ka list banata that would auto trigger a warning as a chrome extension. Aray yeh c**** ne Chupam Das ke post ko like comment share Kiya tha. Mat join kar.

Guess he wanted slaves, but got actual smart employees who knew their worth

Business Development Manager

Lol, the young ones can move on quickly from a company making stone tools in iron age. What will uncle do?

uncle ko bolo tc or gtfo and watch him spiral

Of all points.. the 6th pointt is total nonsense. When workong tight schedules.. i dont gieva shit whether i create or not.. my aim is the get the work done. Indian managers dont care about anything other than getting the work done and passing th3 ball to th3 next team.

My ADHD is triggered to learn that Acculi is just misspelled ‘actually’. Maine Pehle aa-kkuli padha.

Equity Research

What he needs is a real education of what ADHD truly is and why it occurs. Then, some bootcamp on compassion and empathy. Feel sorry for people who have to be around such people. If he's talking about his  employees this way imagine what people around him must be going through.

Headcount decreased from 145 to 80 with the target of bringing it to 50. Ceo is a dumbo with no clear understanding of product and future. They launched a new product called Verk which was an AI agent that could do tasks of all kind for you but in background they hired cheap labour to do those tasks manually. Total sham. They aggressively hired across verticals for it and when the bubble burst and investors whopped asses of Ceo and cto (who is a co-founder but just follows master’s orders) by asking them not to use funds raised for a different product to fund this new sham product, they fired people within 2-3 days. Extraordinary performers were let go of just because of office politics and bootlicking by non performing old timers. Btw some founding members also resigned citing future difficulties since this is the 7th pivot they are taking. Founder ensures no firings will happen and then fires folks the next day. Sham company. Beware before joining!

I have always dreamt of playing an electric guitar on stage. I started to learn guitar in late 2020 and it's been 1.5 years since I stopped playing it do to multiple reasons like bad time management, upskilling for switching, work etc.

I always wanted to work in companies not directed towards IT such as Mercedes Benz, Philips, Samsung,  Siemens, Ather etc and work in areas where UI/UX design overlaps with physical product design. Physical product design is my first love and will continue to be so as that field still fascinates me. Not everyone is privileged enough to pursue their passions and might have to work in certain areas where they are partially interested and pay is good coz, hey! We gotta pay bills.

I wanted to learn multiple languages and was learning German a couple of years ago. Again, due to the reasons listed above, I had to drop out. I want to travel abroad for work, work in multi cultural teams etc.

I always wanted to run marathons and reach the top of Nandi Hills (a hill on the outskirts of Bangalore) by cycling because I was once a obese kid and wanted to prove myself wrong. Now, I have to loose 13 kilos and I'm on working on it. But I sometimes wonder if I can do these things as I had so much to work on.

I was pretty good in sketching. In fact, I was pretty good once upon a time in my design school. Now, I barely sketch. I don't want to loose that part of me who use to sketch day and night. I want to have an Instagram page with all the digital illustrations I wanted to make.

We live in times where one has to consistently switch jobs, upskill everyday, spend time with family and friends (not that I don't want to, but I also love my personal time), take care of aging parents, take care of kids, take care of household, travel to work, get enough sleep for 6-7 hours a day- basically be an adult.

I sometimes wonder if life is nothing but a graveyard of dreams. I understand that one can't do everything in life and sacrifice is inevitable in life.

Folks who are 30 y/o and above, do you still have dreams or are following your dreams while responsibilities pile up in life?

I am working hard on my myself
Gym study work sleep
Make sure everything is completed on time
So that the schedule doesn't mess up

But Why?
I get a feeling of someone I need
To tell everything how my day went
Bhai PTA hai mai ugly hoon
Theek hai
Par yar ek limit hoti hai in thoughts k

In my WorkSpace I make sure to keep professional bonds with my team

Ghar aata hoon to 
Kayi bar phone ko dekhta hoon
Na h koi call
Message

Bus office wala phone h hai Jo phone lagta hai
PTA nhi ye sab kyu ho rha mere sath
Akele marna likha hai 
Phir bhi dimaag ghumta h hai
Dhere Dhere confidence peace self esteem
Mar rahe hai
These thoughts are winning

.....
Mere Ghar par koi nhi hai
Na h Bhai behen
1 dost hai wo busy rehta

Kayi bar marne ka bhi man karta
I close my eyes and cry sometimes
Ek normal routine wala Banda is had tak emotionally har chuka hai
Kya pap kiya hoga maine

It's lonely, Ain't it?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Of course I get called Aunty/Didi by 20+ kids or even 50+ females
Like wtf

How do you react/handle?

Guys, do you also get called Uncle by random kids?

Why do relatives feel that they should always talk about doing things the right way and how do they know what they say is the right way?

Some examples -
- to lose weight, focus on walking and fully come to normal BMI and then only do weight training. But, research suggests weight training to be more beneficial for both weight loss and increasing metabolism
- we should drink hot water to lose weight. What?😂
- get married early and marriage is the only way to go!
- our screen time shouldn't be more with mobile, but rather with tv
- don't use earphones, they damage ears
- Some fruits are beneficial for diabetes

Don't get me wrong, I love relatives. I just don't enjoy someone giving advice when I didn't ask them. Especially when I can't trust their source of information for anything - life advices, religion, shastra,  traditions, women's rights etc.

And, I am really tired fighting battle and tackling so much misinformation about everything. All I do is just listen to them and move on!

Wanted to know what do you guys do?

How do you deal with unsolicited advice of relatives?

unemployment is an issue, the youth is taking law in their hands.

Fellow Grapeviners, can you please knock some sense into me?
For context, I've got a good-ish job that I think pays me easy money. i started working 5 months ago. lately, I'm feeling worthless and really thinking about quitting my job and do something impactful or crazy or financially irresponsible.

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I am sharing a screen shot of a separate conversation on this platform started by a student. I found it be coming from a young fellow who was inspired by these words of wlb and best pay etc. But then there may be a mature (10+yr ex) chap who reverted to him to focus on learning. I was amazed by the confidence of the author of the post in reverting to that fellow while taking a shot at his pseudo name also ( which was quite funny actually).

Generation gap?

Context: I had put out a message seeking newer projects, and a certain person reached out.
They have over 20+ yrs of exp and run their own boutique consultancy. 
The role they had envisioned fit perfectly that I was looking for. 

Interview: We spoke over an hour, discussing the role, my top skills that would be beneficial, future prospects, where I see myself beyond work. Genuinely good conversation. 

The person concludes the Interview and I quote
"Now that I have met you, I can definitely say the pictures you have over your social media and website do not do justice to how you look. You have many photogenic angles that you should explore"

Shock was understatement 

I steered the conversation towards how it is essential for my personal brand building and I have it in my consideration. (I believe I handled it well)

P.S. Anyone who supports this because it was just appreciating beauty - wrong place wrong time and also wrong person.

P.P.S. Time to get a photoshoot done!

[Interview Exp] Why can't Women professionals be seen as basic humans

Today on Saturday I got a call from office grandma ( 20 years in same company) , she started arguing that I didn't sent her the update and showed me her what's app screenshot. I noticed that there is no net sign on top near battery indicator. 
What the hell, why companies keep such people , they have 0% technology knowledge, can't use decent tools , don't know gmail interface . Why the hell ?

Are boomers really needed if they don't have skills ?

Content Strategist

I am looking for business roles, preferably Founder’s Office, Growth, Product, Operations, etc.

I am a CSE 2024 grad and have completed 4 internships in the same domains as mentioned above. I am currently in Bangalore and looking for opportunities. 

Do you guys have any leads?

Hiring thread: any open business positions for freshers? Internship/fulltime

Founder’s Office

Hey Folks. Here for some advice…

Context: I’m 37. MBA+Engg Grad working. Big Blr Startup. Good Role in Biz. Married (Started dating 12 years back & then got married). 

I’m an extrovert/fairly social (Mostly hang out/around other people/friends around a similar life stage - age/work). Most of my friends from School, Engg & B-School are all over the place (we meet once in a year types), no one in Bangalore. Hanging around with people at work is not something I like to do more than once in a month. My wife, on the other hand, has a good set of friends, with whom I hang out quite regularly (guys & girls). 

For a while now, I’ve been thinking of investing some time into making friends/building relationships outside of my social circle (Not that I’m looking to cheat on my wife, but then sometimes it’s good to hang out with people who aren’t your partner’s friends or are already part of your existing work/social circle). 

In short - I’d like to meet unconnected new people. And I’m realizing that at my age, it’s not so easy to do so without seeming creepy.

About a year back, I met an ex-colleague (28F) over drinks (She was in town and asked if we could meet) - Super attractive and smart. It has 12+ years since I’ve randomly met anyone from the opposite sex alone for a meal/conversation (outside of a work meeting). At first, it was super awkward - uncomfortable pauses, loss of words, asking dumb questions, etc. Luckily, in a bit, alcohol kicked in and then it got much better… We still text & meet if we’re in each other’s cities with some time to spare. That’s when it hit me that I was good at making small talk, but have no idea what to talk about when it’s someone who’s some 10+ years younger. Seems like another generation (which it probably is)… While I felt so, I must also admit, I had a great time to be honest - the conversations were energizing/different and to be honest, a tad exciting too.

Advice on meeting new people at 35+

Corporate Strategist

Stages of Life:
1. You’re at School and Grades are everything.
2. You get to college and your GPA is everything.
3. You get to your first job and your pay is everything.
4. You get to the end of the year and Performance Review is everything.

So, essentially at every moment in your life, you’re judged by a number. 

My heart goes out to all those who failed at being better at this. But, I really cry for my brethren who succeeded at this hustle, for the person you’ve become.

Drop your experiences down below. I’m just in a very mellow mood after work, contemplating about life’s weird quirks.

[Thread] When did you experience your first failure?

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

Everyone knows the org behind this, faces are captured on cameras but still these culprits are roaming free. That’s how democracy works!

Hooliganism

This happened in Mumbai too but 10-15 years back. All new people registered their vote in Mumbai and killed this regional thinking. 
  
 All people who want bangalore to succeed. Register in bangalore and vote for right candidate. 
  
 Not a party which doles out cash for vote.

We’re pretty chill. But I’m planning to go for a vacation to Kerala for 10 days almost, and since i told them they have been weird. 
Immediate response was to say that it’ll be tough to manage the project and that long a leave isn’t possible

I debated back and they were like fine.
But since then it’s just been very cold.

What can I do? 🤕
