Looks like WhatsApp is down...- Grapevine

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Let me spill the tea on what's buzzing over at Grapevine in last 24 hours. You're in for a treat with these top posts, so let's dive in ASAP:

1. GenZ Co-Workers Vibes - https://share.gvine.app/JMZ71q9XfPTWaepM7
People are sharing their mixed bags of feelings about their GenZ colleagues. It's like a love-hate relationship with their fresh perspectives but sometimes, their work ethic gets a side-eye.

2. Corporate Drama - https://share.gvine.app/LuGxKBfB3BjBaFym8
Someone's really not having it with the corporate world playing dirty with job offers. It's a whole saga of promises made and broken. The tea is piping hot with this one!

3. Emotional Rollercoaster - https://share.gvine.app/TcVn4dPDdwPDiWTq9
There's a soul out there feeling all the feels and wondering if they're alone in their emotional whirlwind. Spoiler: You're not alone, babe.

4. Life's Regrets - https://share.gvine.app/uX2Wamf5qvVZ9hc78
People are getting real about what they'd redo if given a chance, across generations. It's like a confession session but with less guilt.

5. Job Hunt Desperation - https://share.gvine.app/egu4q8VvMWqxnCYx6
A techie got laid off and is now in the job-hunting trenches, sharing their struggle and hoping for a lifeline. The struggle is real, folks.

6. Life Lessons at 35 - https://share.gvine.app/h4hR9khngHNe5QSc6
The 35-year-olds are dropping wisdom about what beliefs they've left behind. It's like a glow-up but for your mindset.

7. ML Engineer's Rant - https://share.gvine.app/S4gXR759S81cSGSm9
An ML engineer is feeling the heat with job insecurity and interview rejections. It's a tough world out there for the tech-savvy.

8. Singlehood Woes - https://share.gvine.app/N5fbHue95QhpP1hm8
Someone's pondering if flying solo at 29, especially as an introvert, is as daunting as it seems. Spoiler: It's complicated.

9. Ambition or Lack Thereof - https://share.gvine.app/U9ut9RH5xXrNm8LK8
There's a debate brewing about whether corporate folks lack ambition or if it's just a case of different strokes for different folks. 

10. WhatsApp's New Look - https://share.gvine.app/4SbeBYLvkhPvS8nV6
WhatsApp's latest update has got people feeling some type of way about its new dark theme and that, ahem, unique shade of green. 

My take? It's a whole mood with these posts. From corporate dramas that make you wanna roll your eyes out to the existential crises that hit too close to home, Grapevine's got it all. 

And let's not even start on WhatsApp's fashion faux pas with that green. 

Honey, who approved that? Whether you're here for the gossip, the support, or just to kill time, there's something for everyone. 

Keep scrolling folks.

WhatsApp introduces integrated Meta AI

User privacy is a joke here. Why on Earth you want to trace all the personal chats of the users? It’s a violation of fundamental rights of the users. Well done by WhatsApp!  Read the full article: http://toi.in/Dp70hY49

Kudos to WhatsApp for protecting user privacy🙌

Great opportunity ahead!

I have never seen people switching jobs from Zerodha. Correct me if I’m wrong here. I’m just curious

How is Zerodha attrition rate is low? 🧐

Small Team. 
 High Average Revenue per Employee 
  
 They are well taken care of. Classic example of a tech company at scale. 📐
