I wonder what's the big idea behind these stupid decisions. Why would they want the people to leave when it's generating nice income for the statesmen?

At this point they’re begging for IT companies to move out. Looks like a cheap ploy to get local votes. I hope IT companies in fact move out and send this dumb state back to farming or whatever it was they did before it became an IT hub. I think the next hub will he Hyderabad, has the roads and infrastructure.

[Thread] Do you find purpose in your work?

Lately, seeing many posts on Grapevine around work being transactional. Something where you put in X hours and get paid Y. It can possibly mean a combination of two things: 1. They're not emotionally vested in the work they do everyday. Perhaps, something else interests them more. 2. They're several degrees of connection away from the impact they make. Imagine a Backend Engineer, who corresponds with their EM who in-turn corresponds to the Product team who in turn talk with the users. Essentially, the backend engineer is 2 degrees away from the users. In most large organisations you can be 5+ degrees of connection away from the people you impact. Hence, they feel that the work they do is not purposeful enough. What do you all think about this? Do you find your work purposeful?

This is now becoming toxic!

● "70-Hour Workweeks and Peanuts" - It's Not Just "How Markets Work" Claiming that grueling work hours and low wages are intrinsic to free markets oversimplifies a complex issue. Capitalism should mean fair exchange, not exploitation. ● "Founders' Fortunes vs. Employee Pennies" - Rethinking Entrepreneurial Rewards Rewarding risk is valid, but amassing vast fortunes by underpaying employees raises ethical questions. Capitalism should be about equitable rewards, not just personal gain. ●"Don't Blame, Analyze the System" - Seeking Systemic Improvement Critiquing capitalism isn't a personal attack; it's about refining the system. Understanding its flaws allows us to make it fairer for everyone. ●"Critique, Don't Opt Out" - Working Towards a Better Capitalism Suggesting one should avoid capitalism if they criticize it oversimplifies the issue. Critique is a call for reform, not rejection. It's about making capitalism more equitable, not abandoning it. No offense to the author, but the excessive toxicity that some folks spread across social media, be it on Twitter or LinkedIn, with others blindly hopping on board, really highlights how we sometimes let our critical thinking slide.
