Office Gossip

There’s this one guy in my team, super smart, no doubt. Jo cheez hum soch bhi nahi paate, woh already kar chuka hota hai. Always on calls with senior managers, strategy talks. Samjho jaise company vahi chala raha ho.

But bhai, har din bathroom chappal? Seriously?
Not even sliders. Not crocs. Full pocha wali rubber chappal. Faded blue, chipped side, grip ka toh kab ka swaha ho chuka hai. Aur yeh banda mere bagal mein baithta hai. Every leg cross feels like personal attack. Even the chaiwala has better footwear.

It’s distracting, annoying, mood kharab level irritating. Meetings mein jab woh bolta hai, mera focus uski ghissi pitti chappal pe chala jaata hai. I genuinely feel awkward sitting next to him. Har roz yehi office gossip hai.

Bas ab toh bolna padega. Aise thodi chalta hai.

Disclaimer: This is my personal rant. And no, I’m not clicking a pic of those 2 rs chappals, mera camera roll uss level pe nahi gira. Batao ab toh unki chappal ka bhi duplicate mil gaya mujhe.

Kaise bolu office hai ye, bathroom nahi bro?

Been prepping like crazy, using chatgpt to save time, rehearsing everything still getting rejected or, worse, ghosted

And it hurts even more when you walk out thinking,
“That went well!” and then nothing. No reply. No feedback. Just silence.

I’m not even someone who wings it. Before each interview, I go through all the usual stuff Tell me about yourself, Why this role/company?, Strengths & weaknesses ,Career plans ,What do you know about us?

Earlier, I used to spend 2-3 hours prepping for each interview.
Now I use chatgpt to help me prep smarter it saves time but… still the same result.

What’s worse? Most interviews were via recruitment agencies, so I never got a chance to ask: “Hey, what went wrong?”
Just... ghosted. And left overthinking everything.

I’m at a point where I’m questioning everything,  Am I saying something wrong?,  Do I sound too rehearsed?  Is it my face? My voice? My vibe?

I know I’m not alone in this... right I need that hope right now

How many rejections does it take to finally lose your mind?
(Asking for a friend... aka me 😅)

So, I talked to the HR yesterday about the interview. I asked Please send me the location

But their English… bro I was shocked! It was like talking to someone jisne english nahi kuch ar hi seekh liya ho, if the HR’s English is this I can only imagine the rest of the company

I decided to drop the interview with this chinese english😶‍🌫️

When HR’s Chinese English made me drop the interview!

Daily Office Life

Most of us call our colleagues friends…
Until they forward our mistakes to the manager. 

So seriously, if you left your job today,
How many of them would still be in your life 6 months later?

How many real friends do you actually have at work?

Navigating through life & universal grown-up challenges.

Adulting

Being tired all the time? Mentally, physically… emotionally?
Sleep full 8 hours, eat fine, still drained.

Doctors say you’re healthy but no one talks about this silent burnout.

Is this what we signed up for?
