what was that?! Craziest interview Qs ever?

Supporting each other through the ups and downs of work life

Day to Day Office

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?

Laptop open, wifi perfect. Career... not so much. It wasn’t one big failure...just a thousand tiny ones. Rejections. Ghosted interviews. Skills that suddenly “weren’t enough.” 

Everyone around me seemed sorted. Promotions. Onsite roles. Hikes and me? Sitting with 6 tabs open, googling: “Jobs that don’t require confidence.” I almost gave up. Almost. Then I did something small but life changing. 

Day 3 tomorrow: The tiny decision that changed everything.

News

Kap’s Café was targeted in a shooting incident in which multiple gunshots were fired at the establishment.

After hearing the recent Kapil Sharma Cafe news, honestly, I’m rethinking the whole Canada dream. 
Whether it’s for a job, education, or launching a startup, maybe it’s time to pause and think twice.

Why not invest in India instead? This is our home, with immense opportunities and growth waiting for us.
“सारे जहाँ से अच्छा, हिंदुस्तान हमारा!”

Don't go to Canada...Not for Jobs, Studies, or Startups!

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

Sneha Debnath. 19 years old. Math student at DU. Doing a course with IIT Madras. Interning with an Australian firm.

She came from Tripura to Delhi with dreams bigger than her age. Studying hard, earning her own money, never asking anyone for help. Her LinkedIn said she loved maths, computers, and anime. Just a normal, brilliant girl chasing a better life.
 
Yesterday, she was found dead in the Yamuna.
Her family called her an “overachiever.” But behind that word is a painful reality, of a generation that feels they must do everything, all at once, just to feel “enough.” Two courses. One job. One life. No time to breathe. And nobody really asks: Are you okay?
 
How many Snehas are quietly drowning in expectations right now?

This isn’t just tragic, it’s terrifying. If a girl this talented, this driven, couldn’t find space to be heard, what does that say about us?

How many Snehas are quietly drowning in expectations right now?
