Don't pay maintenance. Ask owner to. People come in as tenants looking for amenities. Your house owner must also object, else ask owner to pay maintenance or 50% of it

It's included in the rent. Spoke with owners they have no clue what's happening

Housing societies are robbers in decent clothes.

Its just  a matter of time, when they decide how many  guests can come to a house.

Our society has gone berserk, making tenants feel like they are from an outside planet  What is the best way to fight this out?

Why landlords don’t like renting to bachelors': Pics of trashed Bengaluru apartment go viral

Recently came across the rent process for a big society in Mumbai - inke khud ke 50 forms hai aur upar se they ask for an employer’s letter as well 😂
Ghar rent kar rahe hai ya ya apne island ka visa de rahe hai. Dafaq is this 😂

WTF is wrong with Mumbai’s elite societies?

I have took a 1Bhk house for Rs.13500/month in 2021 Dec. In the agreement it was mentioned that rent will be increased by 5% every year. But after 11 months he has increased it by almost 50% and made it to 19k. Again after 11 months now he is increasing by another 15% and making it to 21500 or else asking me to vacate house. He is not following terms and conditions mentioned in the house agreement, we can't trust him that he may increase rent abruptly after another 11 months. What should I do?

House owner incresing rent more than agreement percentage. What should I do?

Such a blot on GIFT city and Gujarat. More proof that we have a long way to go.

To those who think reservations are meant only for the poor, do you have anything to say now?

Anirudh Kejriwal, a VP at JP Morgan, chose Gujarat over Singapore for GIFT City's vision but now faces caste discrimination. He expresses disappointment in facing challenges with his dream home due to not being Gujarati.

It's getting dirtier by the day and sure some orgs are still up to their dirty tricks.

The models:
- Appraise and then Lay Off: Why bother putting bandaid on a stab wound? Anyways the folks are going to fight how to answer the ..why were you laid off war, and now you are adding another twist.. why were you appraised and then laid off?
- Low appraisals to force quit: Undervalue them so they leave on their own. It’s a leeches way to cut costs. Kill morale 100%. Severance penny spent $0.
- Trap them in PIP: Dress it up however you want - very very few escape this death sentence.
- Silent treatment: No assignments, No meetings. Watch them spiral into anxiety and leave to save their sanity.
- Workload overload: Drown them in work until they break. No need for layoffs list until they make it to your collapse list first.
- Strategic reorg: Re-organize them out of existence. Offer a demotion or a proxy role in a random team that you know they dont want as an alternative. 
- Sudden policy changes: oh! I have seen so many I can't keep up with this one. 
New policies that make their life hell. People leave to escape your pettiness.
- Mandatory relocation: Demand they move to an undesirable location. Then you treat remote employees like outsiders. Exclude them from key projects, conversations until they feel like foster care kids, second-class citizens. You know the outcome from there on.
- Use the "Culture Fit" excuse: Call out how they’re not a culture fit. Vague, unchallengeable, and forces them out without severance.

And don't sell me "the org has got to do what it has got to do to survive" line. I don't buy that
If you have seen this being done, I understand your silence, but I don't value it.
If this has been done to you or someone close to you, I am sorry. Orgs and the people failed you. 
We could be 1000x better than what we are operating as.

dirty tricks played by orgs to Lay Off employees

In and around Whitefield rents have increased more than 10k compared to last year. It's very difficult to find a good house in budget near to office and near to kid school. Salaries are not increased but cost of living is touching the sky.
Is it same overall Bangalore?

Huge rise in  Bangalore rents

Recently I came across a psycho noisy guy who unfortunately happens to be my roommate, he often plays loud music even during sleep time, walks with dirty sleepers inside the room, and often in call sharing annoying childish things with his friends and family every other hour!

This guy though well educated and working in IT also happens to be super superstitious but as per his convenience! 

Have you ever come across such noisy dumbasses, if yes what's the best way to deal with them?

What’s with the city’s renters and agents?! 

They want a 9 month lockin period, 2 months notice and also 10x security deposit!!!

This on top of bloated rentals for shittiest properties.

I’m almost thinking of dropping the idea of finding a nice house here

I know it's a sarcastic post and he is talking about rent prices in London. But it relates well with Bangalore too 😅

Suits well for Bangalore landlords.

And over this people want to have kids 🤦‍♀️ What will they even do here?

This is case for all professions, we are in middle of shitshow

we become so busy in our day to day life that we take all the miseries at work, injustice for granted and move on with heavy heart and feeling low Few eg
- I dont like my work but have been doing this since long so no other option left
- Never looked at things from first principles and now its very late to start again with right approach 
Peers, family make it worse and we are stuck. 
I fee thats Injustice to our self and life. It takes a lot of courage to move out of this and spend time on what you are good at. 
Did anyone feel this and won this battle?

Feeling Stuck?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

For the 1st year in organization,  my peers tried to hurt me by insulting in public/ group meetings. When I reported the incidents to my leader he assured he will do something but nothing was done. 
After waiting patiently for 2 months and seeing increasing attacks from peers via other modes I reported the incident to the HR. 

Please share your comments if I did the right thing or not ?

Abuse of power by senior management at work!

Family is pressing us to buy a house but I don't have any treasure even to put a down payment. Terribly frustrated.

How do you cope up with family members pressing you to buy a house?

Security Engineer

It’s disheartening to see 1000s of people being laid off in recent times. Most of them have a family to feed and EMIs / bills to pay.

Today it’s them and tomorrow it could be Me and You as well. 

And it’s pretty much clear that these new age companies are not empathetic and would go to any extent to meet their goals.

Why isn’t any employee doing anything about these atrocities? 

Following are the few ways to send out a strong message to these employers for abusing / blackmailing / and forcing resignations and PIPs (share more in comments)

1. Boycott their products / Services - make a noise about it on social media.

2. Stop subscribing to their IPOs or start dumping their stocks.

3. Uninstall their apps.
