Daily Watercooler (27th June)
Hello everyone,
Hope it's going well.
What this post is: a place to hang around and chat just about anything - without having a specific topic to discuss.
Think of it like the watercooler at your office.
Look forward to hearing from you all :)

Got fired today. 2nd time this year.
Started coding straightaway, this recession or whatever it is , is ridiculous!

Do let me know, if I can be of any help!

I’m also looking out man can you help me out

The company I work at gives full sarkari daftar feels. Nobody likes working here, nobody cares about growth. The ones who did, have left. The stack I'm working on is so obscure.....from the server to the VCS, everything used here ranks at the bottom of stackoverflow dev survey. The only reason I'm not quitting is because I'm riding out the recession here.

Bhai tu meri company mei he hai kyaaa Same same si feel aarhi

I wish bhai. I'm prepping for interviews rn and Amazon is on my list. I always thought big tech used the latest and greatest in every way possible. Is it not so?

@Micheal_Scott maybe daily water cooler conversations can be a feature instead of a post?

Was thinking on similar lines. Will try to solve this in some new way.
Do you think it should be built out as a chat? So it’s even more real time?

I think it would get too crowded in the future. Should probably be something more open than a post but not as much as a livestream chat.

My Skip Manager wants to put me on pip for not coming to office for last three months. I had a major surgery and couldn’t walk for two months out of those three. Already slashed my variable pay for the quarter. Kinda feeling shitty. So glad I have plenty of offers to choose from.
I’d be joining back on Thursday and would resign the same day.

Power to you!

Make sure any KT is incomplete... pretend you care but dont... smile as much as possible.. that manager should know it....

Had a side fling with a guy in an extended team His gf (who works in the same company) read our messages
Very.Awkward

Spill the tea, what happened next?

She blocked me from his phone (WhatsApp, calls, etc)

In a long selection process at another firm, unable to concentrate at the work in my current firm 😔

Always wondered about this long selection process.... IMO three rounds is more than enough.. anything more is just showoff

Ye dukh kaahe khtm ni hote 😭

Being pushed around by senior for the feature that I am supposed to own while at the same time they're not ready to take ownership of new ones.
My learning has stagnated here for the most part. Should I switch or wait?

Switch.. why are u waiting.. hope the pay is good..

Non tech background - getting about ~11 LPA currently with 3 YOE. Also preparing for MBA so either I can prepare properly for MBA or do job search properly. Even if I get new job, I would have to give 200% there initially and then would need to shift MBA to next year.
What do you think?
