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?

Pre‑interview nerves, mock questions, debriefs, and feedback loops.

This puzzle was actually asked in a Google interview.
And no, it’s not some math olympiad level stuff. Just clever thinking.
But 9 out of 10 people still get it wrong.

I’m suffering from a major slip disc. And I’m not exaggerating. I can’t stand for long, and I can’t even sit for long hours.
Anyone who has had a slip disc or has seen a family member go through it will understand how painful it is. The shooting pain is unbearable sometimes… it even makes me dizzy. 

I requested WFH from my boss. He understood immediately and approved it. I even shared my medical reports to show I’m not lying. I’m genuinely grateful to him for that. 

But then my skip manager jumped in and said NO just like that, without even giving a reason. It was honestly very disappointing. At this point, I feel like what’s the point of a supportive manager if their hands are tied anyway?

Very disheartened. Getting paranoid now. Don’t know what to do. Is this fair?

A good boss isn’t enough if the skip manager isn’t human

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!

Balancing professional and personal connections, plus office romances and friendships.

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?

Office Humor

Do companies actually accept that taking a career break is okay? Shouldn’t they?

Sach bol diya kya?
