Supporting each other through the ups and downs of work life

Day to Day Office

Last night, I came home feeling really frustrated after a last-minute meeting at work. I rang the doorbell and saw my husband looking happy because he got a new project thanks to his hard work. 

He was telling me how much praise he got at work and how his career is moving forward. But I suddenly lost my patience and shouted .............SHUTUP, I’m not happy right now ................too much frustrated and I don’t want to hear about your achievements. Just leave me alone.

He looked surprised, and I walked away from the room. Since then, it’s been quiet between us................no hugs or support. And I am wondering why?

If he can share his happiness, why can’t I share my frustration? Being partners means understanding each other, no matter what. 
Why the silence? Not everyone has a good day every day. Sometimes, you just need someone to ask how you are feeling before talking.

Showed My Office Tantrums to My Husband

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

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!

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?

Okay so there's this new girl in office.
nd idk man, I really like her.
Like, not the "oh she’s pretty" type, more like, "wait, who are you and why do you feel like a serotonin hit during this depressing 9 to 5?"

And I feel the energy from her side too.
But here’s the catch, I have this golden rule: never shit where I eat. IFYKYK.
Workplace crushes are messy, risky, and have the potential to blow up badly.

But she seems too good to just let go.
And now I’m stuck in that “should I just shoot my shot or keep it strictly  proffesh and polite nods in the pantry” zone.

Also, I’m planning to leave this job in 3 months anyway.
My startup’s picking up pace, and I’ll probably bounce.
But I want to keep the job door open just in case.

So the dilemma is:

If I ask her out and I’ve read the energy wrong, awkward af for 3 months.
If I don’t ask, I’ll probably regret not trying.

If I do ask and it works, well… great story for our “how we met” reel, no?

How dumb of an idea it is 2 go fr it?
