Supporting each other through the ups and downs of work life

Day to Day Office

One of our colleagues was so enraged because our manager was forcing the employee to work a rotational shift and making him work hard.
We can all see he was too hard on him, but we thought it was part of work and our manager's behavior with everyone....... 
That person went so much into rage that he poisoned extra caffeine in our manager's coffee. He is old, suddenly collapsed after one drink, the blood pressure shooted but after drinking water, he got normal.............. That's what they call the taste of his own blood. Also, a colleague left the job after all this drama.

is it what managers want now? Waiting to get poisoned?

Shape the future of products through discussions on development, strategy, and lifecycle management.

Product Management

It looks so glamorous from the outside, strategy, leadership, cross-functional teamwork. But what they don’t tell you? Most days, you’re just begging 4 teams to meet the same deadline while pretending to “own the roadmap.”

No real authority. Only responsibility. No final say. But full blame. You’re in 7 calls a day explaining why something is delayed, without being the one who’s building or designing it. Mental gymnastics + political survival + feature prioritisation = one confused brain.

Still want to be a PM? Cool. Just know: it’s not a chair, it’s a blender. Other PMs reading this, what’s your biggest daily headache?

There's a developer named Soham Parekh who has worked at several YC (and other) startups simultaneously for years! 
It got so bad that a well-known founder tweeted a warning about it.

This led to a bunch of other founders admitting he's currently working at their company, on top of others saying they employed him briefly in the past.

How does this even happen? 🙄🙄

I’ve set aside 1 lakh for my baby and want to invest it wisely  something long-term that I can give him when he turns 18. Ideally, I want to just invest it and not worry about it much, but I don’t mind adding more to it over the years maybe for his education, travel, or any other needs when he grows up.

Rn, I’m already investing in SIPs and mutual funds for myself. But for this should I look at something else too? Any long-term plans you’d recommend?

Also, just thinking practically if something happens to me, how do I make sure this amount reaches him safely? Any tips around nomination, joint accounts, or will-based planning would really help 

Would love to hear from anyone who’s planned something similar for their child

Interview Tips & Stories

I recently went for an interview… and honestly, m still trying to process what just happened.

Instead of being asked about my skills, experience, or how I could add value to the company… the questions took a totally unexpected turn. The interviewer started asking things like

 When are you getting married?
 Are you engaged?
 And m sure, if I had said I was married, the next question would’ve been How long have you been married?

What does my personal life have to do with the job m applying for?

This is where I felt the gender discrimination hit hard. These types of questions are so casually thrown at women during interviews  but are they ever asked to men? No one asks male candidates if they’re planning a wedding or how old their kids are. So why is it okay to ask women?

 Can we please stop normalising this kind of behaviour in interviews? Our careers shouldn’t be judged by our relationship status. Period.
