Teachers day triggered me after a post from my school featuring her as best teacher..

Math teachers tend to be assholes for some reason. Mera bhi ek tha, whole class wrote a letter to our class teacher to get us another math teacher. Used to make students cry, beat them up, humiliate them. A grade ass. 
  
 Have had many favourite teachers otherwise who had a positive impact. Especially my English teachers. One of them used to ask me to check my classmates ka homework as her assistant 😂

@LooseGoose i was always bad at English and it was never my favourite subject . But I got lot of interest in Julius Ceaser drama. There was a question about Calpurnia’s (Ceaser’s wife) character sketch. My teacher made us write that she was superstitious. Could never agree with this 🤦🏻‍♀️ What a waste mug up learning we have in schools.

During our parents generation, Tuitions were viewed as a Taboo. It was perceived that only the academically weak needed Tuitions.

However all of these changed quickly where we see majority of our generation opting for coaching from Class 8. For today's GenZ, it's a matter of pride if someone gets enrolled in prominent coaching institutes for JEE, AIIMS, CA, UPSC etc.

What do you guys think was the social drivers for such change in attitudes? 
What age did you first opt for Tuition and why do you think your parents accepted tuitions for you?

Always had a fascination for flying objects as a kid. 

If this held true, I would really love to work in the aerospace domain. Building insane drones or UAVs would be awesome, especially after a decent stint in software.

Was reading about this company called Zipline which works in autonomous aerial delivery. Quite insane how they supply medical supplies in Rwanda using gliding drones that are launched across the country.

Stories like these inspire an entire generation to take up engineering and change the world.

What about you all?

Product Manager

I am applying for a data analyst position with a company, and I was given an assignment with six questions to solve in SQL and Excel. While I know SQL, I am not familiar with Excel. I tried to solve the questions in SQL using my own logic and ChatGPT. Today was the submission date, and I tried using Excel, but I couldn't solve a single question. I have been working from 12 PM to 8 PM, and I only managed to solve two questions, but the answers didn't match those I got from SQL. I then called my friend and asked for help.

He said, "Okay, I will help you."

He helped me with one question but got tired and went to sleep. I continued working and managed to get some answers (e.g., SQL: 70.27, Excel: 79.32), then I submitted the assignment.

While working on the SQL queries and solving questions, I thought I was right, but the answers turned out to be all wrong

I have a question that I find the most challenging and don't know how to solve. I want to improve but feel stuck.

This is the worst behaviour by an educational institution. What are they even trying to convey via this ad.

Worst

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I have had over 8-10 managers in my life in a career spanning over 8 years, 5 of them were female managers and unfortunately the experience with 4 of them were very bad. They’re either micro managers, or power hungry, want to be dominant over male juniors, misuse their power, cannot take any kind of resistance or refusals or disagreement from juniors.

I have always heard female managers are more empathetic but unfortunately I’ve faced the opposite. Just wondering, was it just bad luck or is it actually the case?

I tried to introspect in this and I found at least 4 points common across all these female managers:

1. They are all from Tier 2/3 Cities
2. They’ve studied in premier institutions IIT,IIMS,Wharton even one of them
3. They either have a younger or elder brother who got more love in the family
4. Their husband is at a higher senior level than them in professional life/career

Unpopular Opinion: Female Managers are Dominating

I have found females in corporate are much more opportunistic and shrewd than men. They think that is the only way to rise. Yet to encounter an empathetic female in jobs.

I have generally seen this either in reel / film life or real life, where people who love what they do, tend to be -
1. Much more happier / satisfied everyday
2. They give way more of themselves into the task not because someone demands it, but because they want to, they enjoy it
3. They constantly improve and be better at this thing
4. They aren't in it for the money. They don't do things or learn more or put more hours because it's paying them, they do it because of the love for the thing. Money is just an add-on

Do you guys have anything like this in life which you enjoy doing so much and can do it without thinking about the money you'd get. This thing shouldn't be something you consume, but something you produce, even if it helps 1 person out, still counts!

Eg. You do coding, learn new things in it, not because it pays you, but because it's what you love doing. You'd probably still keep doing it even if it doesn't pay you anything

This is honestly so sad.

I'm 21 and have seen all this stuff happen first hand when I was in school especially amongst guys. 

Delhi has become a hellhole, especially for children. Delhi was always the trendsetter when it came to hurling abuses but it has gone too far in the past 10-15 years.

Memories of fights outside my school(decent private school) are still very fresh, people used to pick up whatever they could lay their hands on. If you were a guy who was super slim and/or on the shorter side you were most definitely going to be picked on and if you retaliated, good luck. You mess with the wrong person, there would be cars with goons and hockey sticks outside waiting for you at 2:15 sharp.

A lot of times they didn't turn violent but events such as these definitely have an impact, you never forget such an interaction. 

Has the situation gotten worse everywhere or is this exclusive to Delhi?

[Thread] What is your favourite thing about yourself?

Lets use this space to describe our managers- 

Mine is so toxic, Has a very sad life though he is married and has one year old baby, jealous to next level,No boundaries! 
My manager is the most stupidest person I have ever come across in my life. Good managers are leaders on whom you can fall back to when you fuck up! 
Mine is so toxic that he only wants to take credit of best things done in the organization and everything otherwise he would just put on me. Keep on assigning tasks at odd hours, will msg why is this not done that not done! 
He has even tried silent treatment with me, as if that would work 😂
I mean he would try to show me that he is so pissed off with me because I choose not to attend his calls in off office hours, or maybe when i choose not to respond to his bullshit. 
Keeps getting deep into the arses of management. Would be first one to attend any parties and also the last one to leave the vicinity. 
Sometimes I feel so pissed off when I see people like him not been held responsible for a toxic culture at the workplace and how simply they just get away in a day by putting everythibg else on others. 
Being on a leadership designation, he is still so much insecure that he would leave no stone unturned to keep me out of the meetings where any achievements or good stuff is being discussed 🤦🏼‍♀️

Describe your manager

Business Development Manager

I’m sure all of us are above average at at least one thing. It could range from making a mean Maggi to playing an instrument to making new friends to flirting to anything else. What’s yours? 

I like researching in depth about financial products and have a good working knowledge of common topics such as tax, mutual funds, insurance. 😊

What’s your superpower?

I allegedly have a photographic memory that amazes and creeps my peers simultaneously.  
  
 Downside? 
 Can't sleep most of time as I have HD recordings of all my regrets and rejects. Ignorance is a bliss.
