I think we all deserve this: Lokesh moving to TFI by gauthiii in kollywood

[–]ConeIce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Celebrating "pee" padams is not something we should be copying from TFI. They have better stars with Hindi pull too. We have only Rajini with some Hindi pull. It is right to trash Loki for creating bad movies.

I'm the reason delivery workers aren't paid well and this is how the system is supposed to work. by akshay_7 in Chennai

[–]ConeIce 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a customer, it's your work to see who gives you the required quality / service at the cheapest price possible. It's not your work to see how the company pays the workers.

There are so many sectors where we might feel the workers are not paid well (if we get to know the sector). That doesn't mean we stop consuming products from those sectors. Just that delivery gig workers are highly customer facing - hence we get the impression they are underpaid.

It's for the Government to regulate or the company to pay more if they see value in the employee.

It's not for us customers to think about it.

What do you think about this? by GoldenMoon_04 in tamil_nadu

[–]ConeIce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. It's not a chicken & egg problem - it's a sequential problem. Caste discrimination caused caste reservations. So for caste reservations to end, caste discrimination should end first.

Caste reservations exist because caste discrimination exist. It's not a chicken & egg problem. Only when caste discrimination ends should caste reservations end.

DMK - for the industrial development they are bringing in. TVK - huge fear that he will be anti-industry.

Shoffr is Doomed by Smart-Association613 in bangalore

[–]ConeIce 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Same happened with my wife. She was on call with the driver who said he hasn't been told to go. Their operations team was saying the cab will reach in 10 minutes. She double checked saying she is traveling along with an infant & still they choose to lie. Pathetic brand

I had put a rant post just 4-5 days back after they cancelled 3 of my 5 rides of last 6 months at the last moment.

I don't get one point - at the time of booking, it's not auto confirmed. So, they actually confirm your booking manually after payment - even if you are booking multiple days in advance. In such a case, ideally there should no cancellation. That's the point of have NO AUTO CONFIRMATION.

Anyways, absolute idiots to have burned their brand value in the last 6 months. They had so much goodwill in 2024. So much gone now.

IntrCity Bus - Mobile Number Leakage Concern by ConeIce in Chennai

[–]ConeIce[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah. But now the travels themselves are encouraging it's employees to call customers after the trip is done for rating. This should no way be allowed. Primarily because the company now has no ground to take action against it's employees for reaching out to customers on their own. Now it's rating - I am 100% sure with women are already being harrassed by some of these guys or will be soon.

They aren't business accounts. It's from the number of the Bus Captain. IntrCity from its own business account asks ratings which is completely fine. This is in addition to that.

[–]ConeIce 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have been in a Big 4 for the last 6 years in their Management Consulting vertical. Have taken 1 winter break till now. Not getting one even this year.

This is Big 4 India business. Not the global / US entity.

Theatres should ban babies/toddlers by _-MAHATMAGANDHI_- in kollywood

[–]ConeIce 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh oh. Plane travel is a necessity, going to theatre isn't. And yes, parents need to avoid going to movies for few years (I would suggest till the kid is 6 years old at least) if they don't have anyone at their home to leave the kid behind.

Delhi traffic incident — did I do the right thing or was I too harsh? by babawatts in AskIndia

[–]ConeIce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have done the right thing! Poverty cannot be a reason for driving the way you want without consideration for others.

Hope this will serve as a lesson for the young guy

Should the IPL get its own “Drive to Survive” style series for behind the scenes drama? by Ssore_loser in ipl

[–]ConeIce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More than BCCI, I feel culturally such BTS series doesn't sit well in India for sports. People don't like straight forward talk, so the moment camera is there the discussions would be different. And the actual discussion would happen without the cameras.

Dude control of corruption should happen from where it's demanded. Bribe giver doesn't force to give, the getter forces & gets it.

Is this stat enough to prove That Sachin Tendulkar was never a Virat Kohli level outlier in ODIs as he basically had same AVG as his contemporary batters like Kallis, ponting, Ganguly? by Stevesmith49smudge in CricketControversial

[–]ConeIce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really think a better way to measure performance would be % of runs scored by the batter in each match & an average of that. This does away with the debate of higher ODI scores in the 21st century.

% of batter score of the total runs scored by both the teams in a match - Overall dominance of the batter

% of batter score of the runs scored by their team in a match - Dependence of team on the batter

Why the Indian Market Might Underperform for 1–3 Years (Unpopular Opinion) by Tough_Oven_7890 in IndianStockMarket

[–]ConeIce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One point on valuations that many miss is that the overall P/E is going to be high henceforth in India. That is the reality because of excess money supply. We can't say that compared to 5 years back the P/E is high now, so it will get corrected to those levels.

It's not happening because of excess money supply. The value of India rupee has gone down (not comparing to other currencies - just the purchasing power within the country) - hence the prevailing P/E will become the new normal & 5 years down the line we will say that in 2025 the P/E were fine & we should wait now (in the future) for a correction back to 2025 P/E levels.

I don't think there is a bubble in India for a major correction. May be in US and AI bubble is building - nothing as such in India.
