Career Advice

Is it normal for a boss to ask employees to submit a detailed daily log of everything they do from start to finish? 
Like, noting every meeting, its exact time, and what was discussed?

Daily logs: Normal boss move or micromanaging?

Supporting each other through the ups and downs of work life

Day to Day Office

I’ve been in this company for 4 years. In the beginning, I was excited and doing well. But slowly, that feeling just went away.

These days, I barely open my laptop. I manage most of my day through my phone. Haven’t felt truly engaged in months. I’ve been applying out consistently for 7 to 8 months, reaching out, networking, tweaking my resume everything. But m exhausted.

Every single promotion cycle just brought another reorg. And with every reorg, I got moved farther away from the work I actually wanted to do. The team I cared about doesn’t even exist anymore. There's no real growth path left, no appreciation, and now there are whispers about layoffs in the next 6 to 7 months. 

I’ve emotionally checked out. I dread opening Teams. Most meetings feel like noise. I don’t even know what I’m working toward anymore. And the worst part? I used to care. Deeply. About the impact, about my team, about doing good work.

How did you pull yourself out of it?

How long am I supposed to last like this?

Show me the money! Let's talk compensation and hustle.

Salary Discussions, Hike & Promotions

I am working as a Consultant and my salary range is 17LPA, and i am searching for a girl for my marriage.
But after calculating every risk, like living in a metro city(Pune) together:
House rent is around 25k
Grocery 10k
Car EMI 8-9k
Maids 10K
Petrol 5k
Some MF for future: 25-30k
Other expenses: 20-30 k(Including sofa, utensils, maintenance of house and guest)

I am not in love, going to do arrange a marriage, so asking frankly apart from looks, what should be the mandatory package of a girl to survive in a metro city?

Please suggest!  What salary should I expect from my wife?

Sneha Debnath. 19 years old. Math student at DU. Doing a course with IIT Madras. Interning with an Australian firm.

She came from Tripura to Delhi with dreams bigger than her age. Studying hard, earning her own money, never asking anyone for help. Her LinkedIn said she loved maths, computers, and anime. Just a normal, brilliant girl chasing a better life.
 
Yesterday, she was found dead in the Yamuna.
Her family called her an “overachiever.” But behind that word is a painful reality, of a generation that feels they must do everything, all at once, just to feel “enough.” Two courses. One job. One life. No time to breathe. And nobody really asks: Are you okay?
 
How many Snehas are quietly drowning in expectations right now?

This isn’t just tragic, it’s terrifying. If a girl this talented, this driven, couldn’t find space to be heard, what does that say about us?

How many Snehas are quietly drowning in expectations right now?

My manager is at 50lpa and age of 32 years, fully in the tech world.
But I feel he is broke, Home loans and EMI are consuming his salary.
1.5 crore apartment, shiny car, apart from all this, he can't afford a single stress-free vacation.
Welcome to India's newest illusion: high income with zero financial freedom.

Literally feel he deserves this, but feel bad for him also!
So in short, why do you want a good package and a good designation when you can't afford a happy vacation with family?

Do you agree too?

CTC is 50lpa, but cannot even afford a vacation!

Dolly Chaiwala. A name that started with fun videos and reached all the way to Bill Gates.

And now when 1,600+ people want to open his tapri franchise,
we understand that it was never just about tea.
It was about doing something different, every single day

No MBA. No big money.
Just hard work, confidence and staying real.

Some people look for jobs.
Some people become the opportunity.

What do you think made Dolly successful.....his look, his hustle or his heart?

He didn’t make a business plan. He just served tea — in his own style
