Not going to work at all today- Grapevine

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

My company issued glassdoor and ambition box links. Instructions are “be generous”. Honestly I would have given 0 if possible. 

Why? Here are few reasons- 6 days week, 10-8pm, if you leave by 8 you get a taunt in return, 

the founder will mention things like ownership but wouldn’t let you do anything on your own, his thoughts>>> any logical statements

ALL PUBLIC HOLIDAYS ARE WORKING 

2 DAY LONG LEAVE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE EVEN IF ITS AN EMERGENCY 

Expectations- put me and my company above everything else 

Needs a ego massage every other hour, literally join meetings late to show im the boss while he plays on the phone so that he can be late

Want to pour my heart out

Hi to all the working professionals,
Kindly help me with some advice.
I am currently working in a Fintech company(IT) for last 2 years. The work environment here is quite toxic and I am under a bond which ends after 6 more months. But now I feel the water has crossed the line and I am not able to bear the toxicity and pressure. I can't pay the bond amount but rather I can't even stay here anymore. 
I am thinking of absconding them.
Will it really affect my career and will getting jobs get difficult? Considering I have a good skill set.

Does absconding hamer job search and career?

Will TCS have holiday tomorrow?

Hey everyone,  

Hope you all have a Good Friday!
 
What this 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 y'all :)

Growth Manager

My manager is asking me to be on-call on Diwali and has asked me to report in person. This is absolute stupidity.
Although I will be compensated at 2.5x of my hourly pay but I would rather spend time with my family.

What should I do? I have already tried to indicate that I have old parents and I want to spend as much time with them as possible especially given the limited moments I get to celebrate special occasions with them.

HELP ME PLEASE! My manager won't give me a holiday for Diwali 😔

Dunzo might be celebrating their last Diwali. So they ensuring to do everything they can to make it their best one. 😂

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

So, my boss is an absolutely lovely person, and is the best boss I've had so far. Not to brag, but I'm also the best performer in my team, by a mile. So, while I do get my pats on the back, I'm also rewarded with more and more work. I love, atleast so far, what I do, so I didn't mind taking up more work, because I learnt a lot in the process too, and it helped my hone my craft better.

Cut to now, I'm losing interest in work. Don't feel like taking up any new work, no matter how exciting the brief, or how great its potential.

I feel like I'm burnt out. And majorly demotivated.

What makes it worse is seeing this other member in my team chill the absolute fk out. He's hardly even given any important projects because of what a waste resource he is.

I've also just been promoted. So, I'm not sure if I should share what's on my mind with my boss.

My mind says I shouldn't, but my heart says it should be fine.

What should I do about:
1. Telling or not telling my boss what I'm going through (because I'm scared if it'll come back to bite my later)
2. Me feeling extremely burnt out and demotivated.

Drop in a joke or two, if you want, but please drop in a serious and genuine reply too.

Should I tell me boss I'm burnt out?

No, please dont in my opinion. Are you not taking leave’s? Please take leaves. 
  
 It might be contradictory on what i said but when it comes to bosses, it better not to talk about burning out and demotivated etc. 
  
 If you still want to do, sound as positive as you can be.  
 Boss sab ka bharosa nahi yaar.

Did your employer give you holiday on voting day?

Context - Applied for leave but manager told that there might be some work coming my way so don’t take leave. I obliged but then I had an Idea of Workcation 😭

Since work till now is pretty lite so I planned a workcation thinking I would be working for like 4-5 hrs and will roam around in the evening. 

But on the day of my travel, my manager called and told me that there’s some high priority work and I had to put in long hours for getting this delivered within this week so considering I will not be having much time to roam and explore, I ended up cancelling my travel plan losing 15k in bookings and here I am, having not much to do because we are waiting for other folks to share some data and inputs. 

I mean wth 🤦‍♂️ Life has fucked me really hard.

Note- I live with my parents so I had planned a good 4 days getaway with my wife but it seems destiny had other plans. Since my parents are dependent so we both never got chance to travel and explore in each other company. 

Venting out here for no reason.

Rant: Life always fuck my travel plans.

After 2 years at Wipro in a support role, I've self-taught Java Spring Boot, Hibernate, and basic frontend skills, with good knowledge of DSA. However, I lack hands-on experience in real-time Java projects at my current company. What steps should I take to transition into a Java development role at another company?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

It’s been 5th weekend we are working . How can we avoid this ? It’s taking toll on everyone’s health but still ppl are not changing their deadlines.

Weekend work?

Project Manager

Taking a vacation for a trip and able to have pre week without any critical work is heavenly but the opposite is happening with me !!! No work is likely to be closed before I leave and how not to carry this baggage on to the trip 🙃?

Data Scientist

Weekend plans?

Do people have holidays or WFH today due to elections in Bangalore.

Holiday today?

Ever since I have come back this week from Diwali break, it feels like I made a fucking mistake going back home and taking multiple days off last week.

My manager is intentionally putting too much on my plate, while other peers are just chilling and laughing at me.
Now, he is saying that we're running late on timelines because of me and I am a disgrace. He is laughingly mentioning to me that he will fire me.

I have a history of clinical depression and bipolar disorder, this is triggering me a lot and I can't sleep really well at night. I feel like ending it all and leaving this company for good. I have savings worth 12 months of living expense.

Is anyone else facing similar issues after coming back from Diwali?

Worst day at work today. Feel like ending it all.

Operations Manager

Alright so this post is coming from a place of guilt so do not take it as bragging.

I have been employed for more than 16 years now and routinely clocked 60+ hour work weeks till before COVID. Once WFH started, I found it difficult to adjust working from home (especially with two toddlers) and found myself spending most of the time taking care of the kids (which I thoroughly enjoyed). Wife is a doctor and has erratic hours so I thought kids need the reassurance of at least one parent being around most of the time. Around 2021, I realised that my fitness has significantly gone down so I enrolled in a sports club and began playing squash regularly and religiously in the mornings. 30 minute sessions became 45 minutes which became 1 hour to now close to 2 hours (coupled with some running and swimming). By the time I login to work (I have UK hours: 11 am to 8 pm), I feel quite tired and at times take post lunch naps (during office time). My health has significantly improved but I have found that I am simply unable to stay productive at work for more than 4 hours ( around 4 pm to 8 pm). 

I am pretty good at what I do and one of the few technical people in a team full of Excel worshippers so one can argue that I get things done relatively faster than average colleagues. However, I have a serious fear that this level of slacking may get me in trouble and could even render me unemployable as I get older. Is this just a phase or a manifestation of a midlife crisis? Have others experienced something like this in their late 30s early 40s?
