DINK - Double Income No Kids

This is a rising trend among Indian Professionals, where both husband and wife are working full time jobs and drawing good salaries, but they avoid having kids and instead spend their earnings on experiences and build good savings.

This way they get an opportunity to truly live their life without the burden of responsibilities.
Personally, this does sound lucrative to me, but I am not sure if having a baby in the very late stage of my life will be a good idea either.

What are your thoughts on this trend?

"DINK" is the new trend among Indian Working Professionals?

I work in a company with hybrid culture, we are supposed to be in office for 10-15 days a month and rest are work from home days.

Now, I personally have been a very diligent and serious employee, so even if I am on WFH, I make sure I give the dedicated hours to my work and be an asset to the company.

My teammate whereas on the other hand, is a very lazy person, he even openly tells me that WFH means leave for him and he hardly opens his laptop on those days.

The disturbing fact is, even with this attitude, he is liked by my manager and no one says anything to him.
Whereas I constantly get criticized by my manager regarding my work and he even pushes me to do more work.

How is this even fair? I cant even go and tell my manager about my teammate because I am sure he won't trust my words and he might even frame this as an attempt to play office politics by me only. I don't want to take this risk.

What am I supposed to do?

My teammate does no Work on WFH days!

My manager is a middle aged women in her mid 30s, 
Yesterday we were having our weekly standup call and accidently while ending the call, I said, "Love you" instead of "Thank you".
This forced habit of saying Love you at the end of every call has been put into me by my girlfriend and I never knew I'll end up saying this in a Work call.

My manager hasn't said anything yet to me but I am scared like hell,
What if she complaints to the HR tomorrow😶

Any suggestions, what should I do? Should I apologize?

UPDATE: we talked after 2-3 days and she was very chill about it, we even laughed over it a bit and everything seems fine now. Though she has asked me to meet after office for a cup of coffee today, let’s see what happens🤞

I accidentally said "Love You" at the end of my teams call with my Manager😶

Just reached the office, and literally everywhere I look, people are in groups talking about the India-Pak war. Everyone's full of jazba, discussing what they saw on the news last night. The vibe here is giving me chills nobody's really in the mood to work. We are all just glued to updates, wondering what’s going to happen next.

What’s the scene at your office? Or has your company given you WFH? We are still here, stuck in office life
