I don't want corporates giving holiday. And then expect us to compensate by working two weekends. I will happily come to office that day.

Lol, private companies never give holidays on such occasions. It is just for government offices. Due to this bank employees get another free holiday.

Supply Chain Manager

TCS works like a gormint office. Unfortunately no holiday is declared by them. Fuckers can’t even give us a holiday

Haryana, MP and Chhattisgarh have declared holidays for schools and government offices currently. Do you think a further official notice from other states can be expected for corporates as well?

Hey Peeps,

My organization is still unsure about Ganesh Chaturthi Holiday as some states have Declared 19th September but some are saying 18th September. Is there any clarity in your org?

Holiday today?

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

India Inc is enhancing work-life balance with extended breaks during Diwali, flexible work options, and more floating leaves. Companies like Deloitte, Meesho, and Myntra give employees additional days off to rejuvenate and spend quality time with family, fostering employee wellness and satisfaction.

This holiday season, companies turn over a new 'leave', give more Diwali offs

He is not totally wrong but what can we expect when everyone decides to leave for the mountains and beaches. Given we are 1.4B folks here

Hello everyone! 

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!

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Happy almost Halloween! What have been your most horrific experiences at work? 

I’ll go first. My manager went on a week long holiday, all the while not replying to texts or calls and came back and yelled at me for going on without his approval :__

Job horror stories

I developed an API that basically took inputs from a webform and loaded it into Salesforce (I have oversimplified here).  
 While testing , one of the fields was "website", I simply typed "www.rk.com" which were the initials of my pet doggo. 
 The test went well, data got loaded into Salesforce. 
 I then get pinged by the multiple people that rk.com is a porn site and multiple people while verifying the test results ended up clicking on the link and got flagged by the IT security team for watching porn on office laptop🤣 . 
  
 It was an honest mistake nonetheless, but very horrifying for me🙈

Holiday tomorrow for Janamashtami?

I legitimately find it concerning that so many Grapeviners are not just conservatives but outright Sanghis who betray their intelligence with 5th standard debate tactics or just outright hate. Some quick pointers before you come at me with pitchforks

1) I voted for Modi in 2014 but then from 2019 onwards I changed my mind (more on that later)

2) Almost everyone here belongs to the urban elite who have voted for BJP. However, the so-called educated elite feels that the everyday uneducated common man is dumb. Education does not equal intelligence (correlated yes, but not an indicator). If you don't like how a significant portion of India you never see or interact with voted, tough luck, welcome to democracy. 

3) Also is this result, really so bad? It's stupid to think that the BJP as the sole ruling party is good for the country. Great for your stocks on the Sensex and MFs but not for the actual common man. They are the silent majority who make the country run and they just let everyone know that although there has been an economic boom, they have been left out. 

4) Take a chill pill. The India story is still alive and well. In fact, having some diverse voices can help a democracy. Not ram-rodding bills that everyone from farmers to jobless youth hate can be good. You just have to learn to play with others & listen for once.

Finally, I supported Modi because I was tired of Congress shenanigans and I supported him up to demonetisation. However, the blatant horse-trading, the weaponisation of ED, Hindu vs <insert religious minority> rhetoric and the lack of any balls to face unscripted questions in TEN years made me change my mind. 

PS: The knee-jerk reaction of every sanghi here is to deploy "What about X & Y", I will not respond to any of those arguments because that's just a week cop-out. Judge yourselves on your own merits, not that you are somehow less evil.

Jai Hind. Jai Bharath. Aam Aadmi Zindabad.

Why is Grapevine so Sanghi? Observations on political discussions here:

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

We just received a message on our company  (Graphy by Unacademy) from our business head that, we should not come to him asking for 6-7 leave for Diwali. These are the employees who want to go back to there home town for the featival. Additionally he said that it is an optional holiday and we can ask for 2-3 days work from home max not more that that, and we should understand our business’s needs and remain focused on it. 
What should I do now I have to prioritise my family and going to my home town, like this I will have pressure from both ends, please pass on any advice.

Can’t celebrate Diwali now!

Business Development

Every company should do this!

This is after making the whole company work on min. 4 weekends and late nights before the Sale. It's a comp-off at best.
