Hi Grapeviners, 

This is yours truly Micheal_Scott with a massive announcement. 

We shared a feedback form with all of you yesterday. 5000 of you responded. 
We asked what you’d want Grapevine to be next. 
And you answered. 

We treat user feedback as gospel. 

Grapevine is now a dating app. Just as you asked. 

Grapevine has 10s of thousands of eligible singles. 

I personally cannot wait enough for the first Grapevine baby!

Grapevine dating is now live!

Received a gift for reaching 10k grapes 🍇  from Grapevine today.

I joined 9 months ago in Feb’23 and honestly? it was all about the friends we made along the way.

Thank you Grapevine! for the AirPods + Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson, but more importantly for being a torchbearer of deep conversations celebrating Indian professionals.

Thank You Grapevine! 🟠

Thought for the day 🎯

Bro, you are earning. Shouldn't you just be grateful that you are not born in war torn Afghanistan or disease ridden Africa. I mean life could be so much worse. In fact, the only difference between you and the office boy is the household you were born in. If that office boy was born in your home, he probably would be as successful as you. 

You already won the lottery. Why not just do your part and pay the income tax so that the tax money can be used to provide a better life to those who are unprivileged.

I am not excusing the corruption in the system but just find the cribbing unbearable 

Just be greatful

Why do people keep ranting about income tax

Oh, I thought this must be some smart argument, the moment I read “difference between you & the office boy is the household…”.  
  
 No bro, it’s no so simple. People work hard to make a living. People crib about taxes because some of us are paying ‘first world rates with third world facilities’. Only single digit % of population is bearing the load of rest-of-population. Even corporate tax rates are < Salary tax rates.

Hey Folks, I thought I should do an AMA specially after yesterday’s rumours that I have been laid off from Grapevine - this isn’t true 😂. It is however true that I have been PIPed and have a much reduced role now xD 

To be serious: Happy to answer any Grapevine questions that you may have. Features, ideas, questions on why we do what we do welcome - I’ll answer what I can! 

Cheers!

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

How would the new employer get to know this?
Also what is the general % of salary offered in esops ?

While switching, can I lie about my esop compensation part in my salary?

Corporate Birthday/Anniversary wishes are the most blatant wishes I've ever received 🙄
They are so bland, it is almost disrespecting 😌

PS: It's my birthday.

FYI Corporate Behaviour

Some of my friends are working and mid-scale startups that have been delaying salaries since late last year. Is this becoming a norm now or was it always like this?

VC Analyst

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Hey folks,

I'm currently working for a US client and I am 100% billable to them if that information matters. According to the offer letter, the notice period is of 90 days but there's a buyback option where one can choose to pay and not serve the notice period. But from what I've heard, it's up to Capgemini to accept that buyback offer or not.

So I've recently received an offer from a Singapore based startup and I told them that I can join in 30 days cuz if I hadn't, they wouldn't have even interviewed me in the first place. 
They're okay with buying back my 1 month and let me serve 30 days but I'm concerned what if Capgemini refuses to let me leave.

What are my options here? Can I tell them that I'm leaving company due to some personal/health issues so I can get an early release. Do I need to involve a lawyer? 

Thoughts please.

Thanks.

Hello gviners,
I've recently joined this company and my team is pretty fun, they've organized secret santa for Christmas. I'm the secret santa for my manager and I have to give him a nice gift. It should be around 2k.

Something about this manager : Wears everything branded, sneakerhead, can sketch, can sing, can get high.

People who are experts in gift giving or if you've received a gift you thought was nice, please help out 🥹  Drop your ideas in the comments!
