Good Day- Grapevine

Had a good day at the office. Catching them backlogs one day at a time but the days are running out. 

Went to office early today and thank god I did. 

Hopefully will catch up to the back logs in the next couple of days.

Good Day at the office

[Thread] What's something that didn't workout and NOW you are glad it didn't

Looking back I am glad that the plan of stopping with a single child didn’t workout as expected. I didn’t know that it would just double the happiness, both for us and our elder child.

Tech Lead

Consultant

I've gotten very comfortable now. WFH many days, take regular yoga and breaks without anyone asking where I've been. As long as I'm getting my work done and I'm in the meetings I need to be in, no one really asks me what I'm doing. 

Sometimes it nags me that I could be doing better things with my time but the money is just too good.

So I'm asking you all, how did you decide where that balance was and if you're happy with your choice?

What do you think: FAANG was (or wasn't) worth it?

Software Developer

I think the current phase in my life is the lowest I am already PIPed by swiggy and I have broken up with my gf.

Feeling like my life has reached the end. Can't sleep at all specially after the break up. Now I regret for blocking her atleast I should have waited until getting into some company. But now I don't want to go to her due to some personal reasons.

It feel sucks. I am not able to focus on interview preparation. I am not in depression but my mental health is shit right now and gets headache daily.
Please help me shall I consult some doctor for this or is this okay. I don't have much friends that's why I am asking here

I genuinely need help

Sorry for posting here. Can anyone help me

Sorry to hear what you're going through. It may sound cringe but praying to god helped me during my tough times. 
 Talk to your parents and siblings if you're on good terms. If nothing helps talk to a psychologist. 
 I may get flack for saying this, but right now you have a much bigger problem to deal with, i.e. PIP. Start preparing for interviews during weekends and try to finish your office work diligently.  
  
 As for your relationship, no one here knows how serious you were about it. If both of you hadn't considered making it long term, I would say it's better to keep things the way they are right now. I had a pretty bad breakup few years back, but now when I look back, all I can do is laugh about the fact that,  I was head over heals for such a shitty person. 
  
 It's my suggestion and I might be completely wrong and being a d*ck here. You have to decide what's utmost important to you write now. 
  
 Prioritize your physical and emotional well-being, then your work, and then someone else. Wish you all the best.

Me: Working from home took a week long wfh for Rakshabandhan, wau?

How’s your monday going?

Growth Manager

These past 6 months my performance at work has been dwindling and one primary reason I attribute is memory loss. I find it difficult to recall key points of mails, design reviews, MoMs etc. and often end up missing out things at assigned tasks. What's scarier is that it not only applies to new concepts, I often find myself forgetting even formerly familiar things. During morning updates and discussions I find myself giving uncertain inputs and asking shaky questions because I find it hard to remember key terms, figures etc. I sometimes even forget to pick up some assigned tasks altogether. Random brain freezes have become everyday affair.
.
Sleep-wise it has been little medium-poor but not so bad that could explain such drastic changes. I'm 30 yr old, male, unmarried and don't have any major health issues (except some stress / anxiety and accompanying Irritable Bowel Syndrome condition).
.
If anyone else experienced this, how have you dealt with it?

Anyone else experiencing memory loss?

Yes everyone experiences this 
 I sometimes forget what I was working on 
 I forget things in short term 
 I don’t know if it’s some kind of coping mechanism 
 The only solution is to write stuff or journal not just personal but work stuff too. 
 I used to have Jira but now I have a piece of notebook with me too giving me the top priority tasks.

I was recently impacted by layoff and having 20yrs of exp into application support and service management with last 10yrs grown into a middle management role(limited tech hands-on and no dev experience nor CS background)

While I am financially ok atm and can manage staying at home for next 12-24 months, I am not financially independent yet. its getting too boring and I want to get back into some sort of work routine as I am keen on retirement yet.

Challenges I am seeing with finding a new opportunity:

- The job market seems to be quite restricted for senior roles with that experience
- Few that came across were at a substantial low salary.  
- Some others required significant hands-on experience 

Thought process::

- While salary is not a major concern, I am not sure if I makes sense to take a pay cut.
- Given the speed of tech changes, not sure what kind of learning/certification would be helpful
- Even if I do tech self-learning, lack of practical hands-on seems to be a drawback
- At 40+ while I am open to work hard and learn, i view is to find a job and learn into it , rather than other wat round

Any guidance/pointers would be appreciated. As would any leads/introductions on suitable opportunities you know of.

What next at 40+

Start a hotel of your own or a small CCD why work in boring mncs

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Hey everyone,  
 
Similar to yesterday this is a place to hang around and chat just about anything - without having a specific topic to discuss.  

Think of this like the Watercooler at your office.  
Look forward to hearing from y'all :)

Daily Watercooler (14th June)

Founder

I work in a startup, have been since the past 4 years. Earlier it was WFH, I had the liberty to work whenever I want - task had to be done. 

With experience, I've felt that my work life balance has gone for a toss. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, I feel exhaused and burnt out. This is also sucking out ownership from what I do. 

To all the GVs out here, have you guys tried doing something that's helped you? Or are we all on the same boat here? Are folks in MNCs going through the same? Genuinely seeking for help here. 

I just feel ki, I should stop running behind money now. Take a pay cut if needed and join a company thats a bit more established. 

Ps: In my case working from office seems like a total waste of time. I had been so much more productive at home. 

Thanks!

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Im a Product Manager 1yoe in a SaaS startup.
I had a good experience in the first year. I got to build a product 0-1, competitor analysis, work on creating prioritization frameworks, UAT, content marketing, wireframing.

However, since January the compamy started their stabilization phase, and PM's are now taking care of Sales and lead generation(Content, Ads etc.). The nail in the coffin is we are getting dragged to follow up renewals( Customer Success) 🤢

Im currently motivated to building something new, and it feels like we are being dragged into everything as the company does not want to hire. With no pay hike or any adfitional benefit.

Please advice. Should I look for a new job?

Need advice

Product Manager

Started meditating now and use my Apple Watch for guidance. 

I wonder what other people are doing. Because I’m having some rough nights sleeping in due to anxiety.

Avoiding anxiolytics or beta blockers for now. Also avoiding a mental health therapist for as long as I can.

[Thread] How do you deal with stress?

Welcome to Ask Grapeviners's Private Community

I realised it today after almost 2 Yrs of working with my current firm. 

What was I doing?? 
—— Chasing numbers, building reports, finding new projects to work, Improving my personal brand within the company, perfecting and perfecting everything I work on, taking someone else’s ownership because they aren’t doing it and lot more.

Multiple people classify this under WorkaHOLYsm..

What does all these things give me?? 
——- Decent Hikes and Salary 💵 (Not much of a Financial Stress)

What did I lose?? 🥺

——- I lost my ducking feel of “living the moment” dude

I am literally realising this since a couple of weeks, I used to be fun, friendly and lively in the moment couple of years ago.

In past, People used to be jealous of how I live without any tension finding fun in everything I do —- Indeed I do have tensions then and now…!!

When I meet my friends recently, They say I was zoned-out, non-sync and no more fun and serious all time.

I have started feeling that I am not able to enjoy the “moment I live in” anymore and this is concerning to me.

Is this a Burnout Moment??

When my friends asked me what do I do apart from Work, I literally had to think twice/thrice and then answered that I watch Movies.

I currently do nothing else apart from work and watching movies.

Do you feel this is bad or am I exaggerating a normal thing..!!

Anyone with the same feeling and stuck in this freaking loop?? How did you come out of it.!!

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I am a frontend developer, working in a service based company, still have 1.7 years of experience, I dont know how I fell into this situation, but I got ownership on the frontend of a very large enterprise app in our project and our client is a big banking American company. At first I was content that I was learning angular and making proper decisions to keep things smoothly, now it is eating up my life, and to say this is the First development project and first application I am working in my career. I conveyed that this thing is too much for me in the beginning itself but nobody listening and now all are behind my back on updates and its killing me from inside, what do i do in this situation? I am  not able to switch due to long notice period and even the recession is at large. What do i do??

Need your opinion

Help me figure this out because up till now it seems like all my decisions were wrong.

New job, new city, fresher.
Found a single occupancy in a pre occupied 2BHK in my budget, and as per my preferences. Had to shift in the middle of the month. Since the room I am supposed to get is occupied by someone else(X), the landlord suggested that I adjust in the hall area for the half month and then I would shift to the room from October. 
I was okay with this, and under the impression that X is also okay with this arrangement. Mind that X is not present in the flat, X has been away since a month. The other two flatmates (Y, Z) in the other room are also okay with this. 
I have given deposit of 20k to the landlord. 
Now X comes back today, starts a fight with me straightaway, starts throwing my things. X says that the hall is common space and since X is paying rent I cannot be there, X only wants their friend to take that room, and a million other things. X is the most problematic person I've ever come across. Bhagwaan jane kaun isse shadi karega. Y, Z back me up. We speak to the landlord and he scolds X. 
Now although X has verbally agreed to moving out at the end of the month, what if X refuses to move out? Mera toh agreement bhi nahi bana hai.. 
I should prolly start looking for flats 😵

Flatmate Drama

Update : X has just returned from having a fantastic weekend, while I'm resting in the hall with a badly twisted foot (fml). X is talking to their partner loudly, desperately clearly trying to irritate me 🤡🤬 Abse is ghar ka naam bigg boss hai aur I will give updates regularly. bc ab toh single bhi feel ho raha hai aur gussa bhi aa rha hai

I have been unemployed for the past 6 months and have been rejected in a dozen of interviews. How can i get my confidence back?
