GVs way of telling me it's friday and one more deployment with a UI bug

GVs way of telling me it's friday and one more deployment with a UI bug- Grapevine

My observation is that on fridays GV developers deploy code in prod app and I see  many text overlapping issues in post , comments. Is this a strategy to stop GV usage during weekends?

Why GV devs why .... deployments on friday???

Since yesterday night I have been unable to reply to anyone in one go in pops. Last night, I had to resort to closing and reopening the app 4-5 times, only then I was able to send replies. Today morning it seems that luck has also 'expired' :) I was trying to reply to someone as they had asked me a question, but after 20 minutes, I had to resign to DM them. 

I can understand that bugs happen, but if the app is going to cause this much of frustration to send a single reply (that too I only went through because I wanted to help out), you can be assured that your users are just going to call quits on GV.

P.S. The system 'back' button also doesn't work with pops. I can only close them from GV app's back arrow. This has been the case from the starting of pops.

GV team, the pop section is really buggy

Happy Friday 🐈

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I have seen so many posts, on Grapevine alone, of how people are being harrassed and traumatized in their companies. And honestly, reading all those posts and comments scare the hell out of me because I haven't been subjected to or witnessed anything like this.

Let me share the experience I have had till now:

I have ~2 YOE, and Capgemini is my first company. I know the pay isn't great, but that's the only thing I don't like about the company. 

The people I have met or worked with in the entirety of my time here, they are supportive, kind, and considerate. Every single one of them, including the managers/directors. They don't expect you to work late hours or on weekends, unless there are critical escalations/important deadlines.

My manager gives out words of thanks and appreciation, even on the smallest of things (yes he talks strictly too, and usually I am at the wrong when this happens, nothing major though). I get all the support that I need. I don't have to worry about the work life balance.

I have never had a single issue with a teammate, and most of them are seniors whom I work with. No big egos, no attitude, nothing. They help out whenever I reach out to them.

And it is the same story on my client side as well. 

I have worked/interacted with both male and female leaders, and all I have ever seen among everyone is empathy, respect for everyone's work, and always ready to help nature.

I understand that this is all just my experience, but my reason for writing this post is to share a positive experience and that there are still good people around here.

Maybe I am the odd one out (on the happier side)

Here is something I can tell you about bias. It is human nature to be very emotional and complain when things are bad and not talk about it too much when things are good.  
  
 Forums like Grapevine and Blind are filled with unhappy posts because of this reason. Most people complain when things are bad. Hardly anyone praises when things are good. For every bad post you see here, I am sure people are out there having a good time at work.  
  
 Treat this with a pinch of salt and live out your career, you only have one. Don’t be bogged down and settle because you are scared of the unknown.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I am just curious how GV team landed at the current UX after making all those changes - masking identity in feed, smaller font, more empty spaces, removing insights on comment, notifications. 

Was this to make it consistent with web design? 
Any significant changes in output metrics?

How GV team decided on the current UX(iOS)?

Hello good people of Grapevine. 

It’s a nice Friday. Weather in Bangalore is tip top. And I’m looking forward to a quiet, peaceful weekend, without any ragers or work calls 😊

Dump your thoughts from the week, things you are looking forward to, and anything in the middle here in this thread 👇🏻

Eager to hear.

Friday Watercooler (6th September)

Can someone from GV team tell me why there are points to post of GV
1. FAB
2. At the top, which looks like search bar to me

Can you share some insights on this decision or some data, what’s the CTR on this and how it’s performing?

Let’s explore the concept of life continuing without a salary hike or promotion.

A dry promotion, also known as a no-raise promotion, occurs when an employee receives an upgraded job title and additional responsibilities without a corresponding increase in compensation. While this situation can be frustrating, there are several ways to approach it:

Negotiate: If you find yourself in this position, consider negotiating with your employer. Politely express your interest in taking on the new responsibilities but also discuss the need for a salary increase. You might propose revisiting the issue in a few months if an immediate raise isn’t feasible.
Network and Build Goodwill: Even without a salary increase, a dry promotion can offer benefits. Use the opportunity to network, meet new people, and demonstrate your commitment to the company. Sometimes, goodwill can lead to future/new opportunities and higher pay down the line.
Emotional Well-Being: Remember that money isn’t the sole motivator. A study found that emotional well-being rises with income up to a certain point, beyond which further income doesn’t significantly impact happiness. Consider other aspects of your job satisfaction beyond just the paycheck.
Gender Disparities: Mostly women often feel greater pressure to accept dry promotions and may hesitate to negotiate. In many cases, women earn less than their male counterparts for similar roles. Advocating for fair compensation is essential, regardless of gender.
In summary, while a dry promotion can be disappointing, it’s essential to weigh the pros and cons. Consider your overall job satisfaction, long-term career goals, and the value of networking and goodwill within your organization. Ultimately, life goes on, and you can continue to grow professionally even without an immediate raise or promotion.

Strategy & Operations

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

We have had new designers recently in the team which have made our life hell. Only thing they want is pixels perfect design to be made due to which our projects deadlines have stretched a lot and bothered our work life balance. 
Introducing new designers to a team can bring fresh perspectives, but it seems these individuals might be focused heavily on perfectionism. Their insistence on pixel-perfect designs is causing delays and affecting our team's workflow and deadlines. While their dedication to detail can be commendable, I think it's essential to strike a balance between quality and efficiency to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Also these folks are making everything so design heavy that we also have had CVR drops. New design looks flashy and barely good to use for normal users. Thoughts?
