Keeping old plastic takeout containers despite a 55 Lacs TC
I recently realized I still hoard black plastic boxes from food delivery, which I’m planning on throwing away. YOE - 4.5, Degree - B.Tech (CS) from an IIT. My current yearly TC - 55 (base 30, RSU 25 yearly). And as you can see the pay is pretty decent. I got a good appraisal this Thursday (base bumped by 4, bonus - 2), but I still wash and keep those cheap plastic boxes. I have been hearing really bad things about microplastics and to be fair my kitchen cabinet is a complete mess. Overall it’s throwing a bunch of red flags and my peace of mind might be screwed along with my mental health and financial stability (might start watering down the handwash next). Do let me know if I’m taking the right decision here by dumping them all.
