I finally got budget to add another team member to my team who were struggling with workloads. Among other criteria, starting date was very crucial in my decision because of new project that will add even more workload to the team. Most qualified candidate was available after a month, and the first ...Read more
Feels like I joined a toxic team where everyone is constantly trying to one up another or claim credit for the smallest bit of work. I talked to my new joinee mentor and they said it's pretty recent change and they are aware of it. Should I bring this up to EM during our syncs ? Would like a team w...Read more
Posting for a friend. Recently, my boss sent invites for everyone’s birthday to the team but forgot mine. I can’t help but feel ignored and under appreciated. Last year I also noticed we said happy birthday during team meetings to everyone through the year but again nothing for me. It’s in my wor...Read more
So I noticed certain patterns and was wondering if my coworkers secretly hate me. I have been in this team for 1 year. I didn’t interview in this team, a manager took me with him when he got this team and then he left. 5 of my teammates hang out with each other after work, go on hikes and what not....Read more

Borough you live in? 2. How’s the commute in terms of time and mode of transportation. 3. Common issue...Read more
How's work and culture? How's the relationship among people in general? TC: 100k #meta
I heard one of my colleagues shouting "madaarchut' or something. Not sure if I spelled it correctly. When I asked him he said its something you call your manager in his native language and the short hand for that word is "MC". Is that correct ? Want to make sure I dont offend my manager Someone hel...Read more
I work on team where if you know something it's good, otherwise tough luck, you are on your own. Neither manager nor tech lead have any suggestions or think it's their job to uplevel the people on the team. Most of the team is hardworking and I am sure want to keep learning. This made me curious how...Read more
If you’ve been laid off and your former employer offers you LHH Outplacement Services, I recommend asking for a cash equivalent instead. Why? Because LHH recommendations are outdated, a waste of your time, and you can use the ~$5k+ elsewhere. LHH consulting is based on Bernard Haldane’s outdated m...Read more
Young manager that needs to get laid because he power trips lot of ds. Anyone else has that happened to em? Also he’s nicer to my female teammate but harder on guys.
Im currently in one hell of a situation. We have 3 sessions a week to review our sales activity per week (global/regional meetings, and a 1:1, tues/wed/thurs) and a new “pre-performance preventative plan” every two weeks on a Friday. It’s been introduced as a plan before the performance plan 💁🏼...Read more
I am visiting the Googleplex campus for the first time and have heard many good things about Cafe Baadal. Unfortunately, I am not a Googler. But, I have friends in Google India. Can they reserve a table for me? If so, can I enter without an accompanying Googler?
If you had the option to pick any of these cities to relocate to for your next work project, which one would you choose and why? In terms of growth opportunities, Indian community. #culture #officelife #workplace
Hi! We have a bunch of exchange students coming to visit the bay area in a couple weeks and were wondering if anyone knew if companies like Google, Meta or Apple give tours of their facilities? Thanks so much!
I am at a different firm, than Red Hat, where we had a re org few months ago and my new manager was promoted to be a manager for the first time. They are fumbling their way through it, looking at my skip level for every decision, and without full knowledge, history of team and the work we do, they k...Read more
Indian folks who don't order in, what food do you bring to the office? Is it frowned upon to bring curry to the office? Today is my first day working from office and for lunch I brought chicken curry and rice and I'm afraid the whole kitchen smells like biryani house now🤡
I am thinking about working remotely given I got preapproved. Wondering though if it’s career limiting given the limited way to interact with colleagues and Meta seems very political/relationship driven. #officelife #workplace #culture
One guy wears the most god awful clothes possible always and when asked its because of 'sustainability' Supposedly he does not want to buy cheap fashion. I'm like you can s till have normal clothes and mend them without looking like a homeless person. WDYT?
Tell me your favorite everyday carry backpack brand.
I will be joining ServiceNow SC office full-time in July. I have a few questions about the office. 1. Do they provide any free meals? 2. Is there a gym in campus one can use. 3. Which areas do people look for housing and how do they commute to work? #servicenow #housing #benefits #officelife #workp...Read more
Is it rude to skip social events with leadership? I work at a kind of satellite location and sometimes I will have like the immediate 4 people in my direct leadership chain come to our location and invite the local team out. I appreciate the invite but they’re usually happy hour type things and I qu...Read more
Recently joined TikTok in San Jose. Not too much opinion on the company itself as I’m fairly new but I absolutely love the office. I believe there’s more than 3,000 employees on-site, great amenities, and free meals. The only thing is that most of my team is located in different locations so it d...Read more
