Pay toll for good roads but you cannot drive fast even on expressways. What's the point

Overspeed challan

Although currently there are no casualties, but the clip of someone jumping off the building to save themselves still haunts me. They are currently in critical condition and I hope they recover completely. 

It is starting to appear that rapid growth is becoming a duel edged sword. Yesterday's incident is a stark reminder that development and safety need to go hand in hand. 

What is the opinion of others on the platform. There have been other fire related incidents in other metro-cities as well.

Why why why? Train accident weren’t common from past decade. Recently it started to happen across the nation. What is your theory? A thread below 👇

Why so many train accidents near to the elections?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I am a middle class guy working as a senior engineer in one of the product companies. I belong from the north-east, and I am the only child in my family. 

Since covid, I was working in a wfh setup. Recently, my company has ended work from home for everyone, and I am supposed to move to Bangalore very soon or quit. 

I am an active user on all social media groups on Reddit, Fb, etc. For the past couple of months after seeing so much of negative news about Bangalore, Especially the high population, skyrocketing rents, the auto unions, corruption, cut-throat competition, discriminative news, traffic issues, etc. It makes me nervous to be honest. My wfh here was pretty chill, and I had a very limited social circle here, but was satisfied since I could spend most time with my mom and dad. 

Im very afraid now about what should I do next, shall I quit the job and search for wfh, or shall I make my move. I don’t have any acquaintances there, no friends, no idea about what I’ll be doing next, how to start house hunting, or job hunting. At this point I am miserable and overwhelmed to think about all of this. 

Anyone who has gone through all of these, If you can share your 2cents, experiences or thoughts, about how you dealt this phase. It will be really helpful for me at this point in my journey. Thanks in advance! 🙏🏻

Get a wfh job ... period.

 Better to move to noida...u will face less racism

I find it curious at least that in my undergrad batch, out of all the people who went to abroad 80% of them were women. What factors would contribute to that?

[Pattern] Noticed recently that more women have gone abroad to settle than Men...

Employees who are top performers are laid off. 
Employees who are in a firm for a long time are laid off. 
Employees who are freshers are laid off. 
Employees from IIMs/IITs are laid off. 
Employees who work just to get the job done are laid off. 
Seniors are laid off. 
Juniors are laid off
Hard working employees who get good ratings and give extra hours are laid off. 
Bad peforming ones are obviously laid off. 

Is there anyone who is safe. It's just at the mercy of few decision makers at the top and no matter what you do you will never be safe. 

Now I understand why parents say that government job is better.

Is there a pattern in layoffs

LinkedIn has become a necessary evil. One way that worked for me to make it usable is to Unfollow every connection. Linkedin feed is 100 times better that way.
Anyone else has tried this?

I have found one way to make LinkedIn less cringe

The economy went down? Yes. Did it affect all kinds of companies? Yes

Did the banks fire any one? No 
Did the Railways fire anyone? No 
Did the media agencies fire anyone? No 

Did Large Tech companies and IT fire people? Absolutely yes 

Tech is the most ruthless-stupid sector that is so flimsy and short sighted that it doesn't care jack-shit about employees

Tech companies will pay employees large salaries in a heartbeat, they'll hire 1000s of them and then fire 100s of them in a heartbeat destroying careers. 

Sigh!

Tech has failed to be a good employer; Layoffs are just one example

Not the way it works. 
It's a function of how fast an industry grows -> The faster it is, the more you have to hire in advance, because you know if the pace continues, you'll need as many. 

Railways needs 5K people this year, they need 5K next year
Google needs 5K people, they need 7.5K next year (if things continue) 
At startup needs 500 people today, it needs 2000 next year (if pace continues) 

So when the pace does not continue, the impact is equally drastic.
Startup fires 25-30%
Google fires 5-10%
Railway fires no one.

Just for better mental health. Because like sometimes managers or similarly ranked people, would make it seem like everything is important and needs to be done by xyz timeline. Have u tried to not take it seriously? How did it turn out for u?

In a bustling Indian city, a series of tragic accidents caused by reckless driving and disregard for traffic rules have raised concerns about road safety. Despite existing traffic regulations, the lack of adherence to these rules remains a significant issue nationwide. Efforts to enforce these laws face obstacles due to various factors such as cultural attitudes towards road safety, inadequate infrastructure, and challenges in implementing consistent legal measures. In light of these challenges, the need for a comprehensive strategy to ensure compliance with traffic rules across India becomes increasingly evident. How can India effectively address this issue and legally enforce adherence to traffic regulations on a national scale, considering the multifaceted nature of the problem?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

1. You are building a software that otherwise could be built by a 12 year old kid, if given proper training.
2. You cannot code if I cut off google, stackoverflow & related websites.
3. You are just concerned about producing the output quickly because a. your work is time bound, b. you want to stand out from others.
4. You attend countless meetings that carry no value, thanks to Agile.
5. 10 people write code for the same software which otherwise could have been written by 1 person.
6. You write pages of documents just because you are expected to write for the team, compliance & stuff.
7. You don’t care about non-functional requirements as nobody asked for it.
8. You are spending hours together in coding a simple thing & you are branded a hard-worker.
9. Or you don’t spend much time in coding because you impress people with tech jargons that you learnt recently. You are branded a smart-worker.
10. The code you write will be completely rewritten in next 3-4 years just to catch up with the industry trends.
11. Your only goal is to earn loads of money which otherwise could not be earned in other engineering fields. That’s one of the reasons why you are on grapevine.

Prove me wrong if you can, by commenting your opinion.

Software engineering job is highly overrated. Prove me wrong if you can.

Tell me you are a mediocre programmer/ work with mediocre programmers /an idiot without telling me you are.

Really excited to do this! 

Here's a little bit about my career:

- I’ve worked across most major startups in Bangalore (not including brand names here for anonymity)

- I’ve worked across brand identity design, UX/UI, social media marketing, ad films, animation/motion graphics, and 3D

Happy to answer questions about design, freelancing, starting an agency/studio, the design industry, etc.

DINKs, (dual income no kids) have been gaining traction a lot lately. I want to know from the members of gravevine, what are their views on being a DINK couple or a DINKWAD( double income no kids with a dog). From financial prospects like having a huge disposable income to emotional aspects like not having a legacy or going against custom Indian tradition. Do share your thoughts 🤔💭

What are your thoughts about being DINKS?

We are a DINK couple (live-in, will get married soon) and absolutely no plans to have kids. Maybe be a DINKWAD someday by adopting an indie. Also no plans to buy a home or spend on our marriage. This is not a financial decision (both of us are doing decently well in our careers) but we don't want to have a child knowing how nothing around is improving and we don't want to sacrifice the best years of our lives by doing this. We are building a large corpus to be financially independent and travel without any financial restrictions.
