Day to Day Office

This morning, I walked into the office as usual, nothing extraordinary.
Then suddenly I heard ..................
"This task has been pending for weeks. When I say PRIORITY, I mean PRIORITY!"
 I turn around, the CEO giving a reality check to my manager.

And in that moment... a cold breeze passed. A different level of relaxation.
Somewhere deep inside, a voice whispered: “See... karma is a b*t*ch.”
The sukoon I felt? Haven’t felt it in years.

First time after my joining...I was happy, and the manager was sulky.

And me? Mentally prepping: “Shaam ko daaru khulegi is jashn mein.”

Have you ever seen the same condition in your office?

Sukoon .....when the manager got a reality check!

Let’s stop sugarcoating it. A lot of men today aren’t scared of women at work they’re just done taking the risk.

You joke with a guy, it’s camaraderie.
You joke with a woman, it’s “tone check.”
You mentor a male junior, it’s leadership.
You mentor a female junior, it’s headlines waiting to happen.

It’s not that women are always overreacting 
It’s that men have realized it’s just not worth it anymore.

No drama. No ambiguity. No screenshots.
Just… safe distance.

Let that sink in.! 

What do you think- legit concern or just an excuse?

Not gonna lie- men aren’t avoiding women at work out of fear; it’s strategy now!🙄

I’m just relieved I got out in time...I was with [Genpact](genpact) till last month.

Genpact wants its employees to start working 10 hours a day 5 days a week...that's 50 hours weekly. And this isn't for a startup or leadership role. It's for freshers.

Entry level roles with 10 hour shifts? are you serious? In 2025? When we’re talking about 4 day workweeks and burnout awareness?

I’m not saying people shouldn’t work hard....we all do. But let’s stop pretending this is normal or productive. Longer hours don’t mean better output. In most cases, it just means more stress, more health issues, and faster exits.

If you don’t trust your team to perform in 8 hours, maybe it’s not the employees who need training.
Or 2 extra hours me koi kuch vaise bhi nahi ukhaad raha.

10 hour workdays? Glad I quit Genpact

So… here’s something I never imagined I’d be typing.

I’m in an arranged marriage, not bad, not toxic, just… okay. 
We get along, do the basics, and go through life. 

But then something happened that no one could’ve predicted.

After our wedding, my husband’s younger brother joined the same company I work for.

At first, it was harmless. We commuted together, grabbed lunch, shared laughs, and Sometimes even ended up sitting next to each other during long office meetings. It was all in good spirits. 

Until it wasn’t.
I started feeling something I shouldn’t.
I think I'm attracted to him. Maybe I made the wrong choice. 

Everyone at work even says we should've met and married each other. I kinda feel the same, and I think he's also attracted to me, but we've never said anything. 
Now I’m stuck in a loop.
Should I divorce my husband, confess my feelings, and marry his brother? Or Stay like this?
I'm so confused!

My husband's younger Brother & me in same office
