Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Honestly, I thought the added allowance would be worth it. 

But I honestly hate the work I'm doing and everything about the office in general. 

I miss chilling out in the evenings after work like a normal person, I miss just being normal and not having weird sleep patterns.

I cry or am on the verge of crying almost everyday. 
At this point, I just want to quit and take a few weeks to feel normal and happier?

Of course, given the market, this would be a very stupid decision. Unfortunately all the jobs I'm getting are usually a pay cut.

I don't get how people, with MBAs, families and an active social life do this, honestly.
I have neither and I freaking hate it.

Would quitting be actually worth it for my overall health?

I'm miserable working the night shift.

Take the pay cut and come out of this nightshift. 
  
 This nightshift thing will f’up your health too.

I am having hybrid mode 2 days office and 3 days WFH and office is far (20kms from home) so regular commute is tough. But my productivity at home goes down drastically as it's just me at home and lot of slacking happens. Any tips to increase productivity while working from home

How do we ensure productivity at WFH

Hi guys,
As you have already read, I am planning to start a roadmap in 2024, YES !

I am not one of those Didi Bhaiya’s doing it for Fame/money. The twist is I am planning to do it anonymously on grapevine and will try to solve as many doubts as i can on DM’s ( Again Anonymously)

I have the roadmap that is completely free, videos, lectures, notes and everything is collected from amazing creators and is already free and i will never recommend any paid course, I PROMISE.

If i get 30+ comments, then i am happy to start the Day 1 to Day 24 ( 6 hours each) detailed roadmap.

Also, since all of us here are working Mon-friday. 
The roadmap is for 12 weekend (24 days) and IMO that is enough to into Faang game preparation. If you need more you can practice for another 2-3 months on yourself.

Thanks !

How to get Into FAANGMULA roadmap

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

After reading the recent #Amazon post and people being truly open about it. I'd like to highlight what me and my Myntra colleagues at the same level faced. The level of emotional and mental harassment I went through was extreme. 9-5 extending till 9am to 11pm, i.e 12+ hrs everyday with no incentives, often my manager would ask me to connect at 12:30 a.m. assign tasks and say, complete this atleast by morning. Even on days when we're in-office till 10:30 at night working on displays and whatnot, after completion they'd say now go home and work on concepts, which is insane, work when? Most often our weekends would get consumed in work too as there's always, always something urgent everyday to prevent you from taking offs. It wouldn't be coming off as a surprise if people are saying they haven't slept for 3 nights straight, because they'd say so have I. All that at a package of 5.35 LPA, it's ridiculous.

One thing I really hated during WFH days was MEETINGS DURING LUNCH/DINNER TIME, after a few weeks when it became repetitive, I started saying, but it didn't stop as they would smartly schedule those at pre-lunchtime so no one can deny as it's not lunch yet, then it'll stretch till 3 or 4. Then after a point I started bringing this up in mid conversation in meetings saying "Is it alright if we continue this post lunch? I need to go have lunch" and the same will happen during dinner. They'd say "go quickly have something and connect afterwards".

No appreciation for all the hardwork, sleepless nights. So, started keeping healthy boundaries, politely refusing to work on weekends, letting her know I've appointments or I'm cleaning my room or doing laundry today which they used as a way to gaslight me by saying "you disappear on weekends, what's wrong with you now, you used to work fine, seems like you don't want to work here anymore, please be there this weekend and do this". I was still committing to their 9-5 stretching till 8 evening tho.

Myntra exploiting their Designers

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I’ve lately been struggling with keeping my energy levels up through the day. My lifestyle isn’t that bad. Decent sleep, frequent exercise, I’m happy etc

But I find myself zoning out of conversations and this is affecting my ability to be “liked” at the workplace.

It’s not even about being liked, but as a person I don’t like not being able to 100% be there for people when they’re talking to me. It’s what makes us human, in a way.

People who are high energy, have you figured what your secret might be? 

thanks 🙏🏻

People who are generally energetic, how do you do it?

I was in a similar situation where I felt lost and disconnected throughout the day. Things that worked for me:- 
  
 (1) Cut caffeine and sugar completely - strictly 0% consumption. Caffeine is really bad for sleep quality. 
 (2) Increase vitamin D intake - sunlight and supplements. Deficiency leads to general fatigue and brain fog. 
 (3) Improve sleep quality - have camomile tea, get a good mattress and comforter, sleep before 1 AM to be in deep sleep in the 2 AM to 4 AM range 
 (4) Cold showers - not sure if they do anything at all but I've felt a noticeable increase in energy levels after doing them (even if placebo)

Software Developer

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Currently working in a startup company 

Usually, I do my work in the given time, but due to some dependencies on me and after meetings on around 6-7PM some tasks are allocated to me that should be picked on the next day but due to "bhai plz Kar de" culture it is picked on the same which is not sometimes favorable and will cost around ending my day around 11 or 12 

Should this be embraced and how to tackle these things?

Should you embrace 'bhai - bhai' culture?

I used to take these requests and do them the same day out of good will. The ability to say no, comes with some experience. Give it 1 2 months you'll start saying no. It comes naturally and slowly

And for each theme, suggest a Playlist name

Never overwork, you lose your piece of mind, sleep, and health gets ruined.

It's only Indians who expect to be avilable in both IST during the day and attend US calls with full attention from 6-9pm. Paid peanuts for serving two timezones. The burnout is so real that even if you logout, the mind doesn't logout quick

After lunch or before?

P.S. we have 1 hr lunch break scheduled in work day. So I consider second half AFTER lunch.
My boss wants second half before lunch, because who eats for 1hr 😶‍🌫️

What is second half in your company

With Iran Officially Striking Israel first? will everything end out of order?

Reporting time in office My team has Daily Scrums at 9:45am. And if you don’t reach the meeting room by 9:47, it gets marked on a leaderboard. If you cross more than 3 times in a month,pay fine 100rs for 4th, 200 for 5th…

I have been in this industry for 4 years now and there is not a single day that i hated this place any less. Today 9th August 2023 i am all alone in my room thinking to myself about what’s the point of this? 

I have no life i am all alone and tbh i have no real friends. A few of them that i do have are so far away from me busy in their life. No love life no social life. At 27 i feel wasted, done, finished let me clarify not in a suicidal way. I just feel exhausted my body is breaking down by the day i feel. I am just broken at this point and feel like quitting this profession altogether. I just don’t feel happy. The more i work the more irritated and frustrated i get.
To top all that i have no one to share my emotions with here. Call it whatever you may wanna call a cry for help, a rant or nonsense. I am at that point where every morning feels like punishment. Every night that i go to bed i try to stay positive but i am not able to. I just hate everything. 
I am not a lazy man i work for 10-12 hours everyday and i think now that has finally got to me as i feel finished.
I don’t know if anyone will read it or not i just wanted to reach out to people or anyone who feels like me. Broken tired and just done with everything.
