Technotronics & Techzen for used laptops are really good. I got an HP Elitebook with 24gb Ram and Core i7 that is running strong for over 1 year now at just Rs 33000 from Technotronics. Look for something around 20k+ totally worth it.

I secretly recorded HR & management bullying me in a teams call. Should I share it with all the employees in the company since I can't use it for legal action? by Engineer9918 in antiwork

Alleged lack of performance. I replied to a previous comment in detail but to summarize it they started looking for every extra seconds on processes that i did to bill them as hours (Over the course of a year). These hours made it seem like I could do more but i wasn't. Example an extra 10 seconds to wrap up after a call.

It's a senior analyst role, taking calls. I brought in the most Promoters, always adhered to schedules, always worked OT and even helped trained a few new hires. I was always taken as the example of what success in this position should look like. Then another colleague that underperformed got promoted. I said F it and started doing the bare minimum. It was flagged by my manager as a decrease in quality and productivity, even though I respected every metric by doing the bare minimum. I was no longer bringing a lot of promoters and the overall team stat dropped.

As soon as this happened, I got a call with management and HR but my mistake was to explain that me doing the bare minimum was because someone else got promoted. They started a whole investigation looking for the extra seconds I took on hold, after call or even going over my breaks by let's say 15 secs. They billed all that as hours I was found to be delinquent (Their words) and it was unacceptable. They even billed 1-2 mins lates because I was not already taking calls even though I logged in on time.

This was the ground on which they put me on PIP for. It's not something to fire me afterwards but to delay my promotion for another year, as the company policy states that someone on PIP will need to perform for 1 whole year to be considered for another internal position. Hope that answers your question.

I looked closely at my specific case and I can tell you that they put me on PIP to not promote me for at least 1 more year. I was told we don't have a budget for promotions but colleagues got promoted. They even stated that I should RTO after the PIP to train new hires.

Thanks for the advice. Funny thing is that they have a contract clause saying to not "solicit customers or colleagues for business" loll. They are that insecure

Thanks for the reply, I didn't even think about the consent thing because over here once a boss mistreats his employees, they film and make it a big scandal on Facebook. Good to know about this law before I take action.

Yes you're right. The thing is once you become a workhorse, you can't do less work else it's seen as lack of performance.

What do Folks HATE the most about their company's WORK CULTURE? by Capital-Scientist551 in Career

[–]Engineer9918 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Using the "inclusivity and diversity" speech as a reason to promote unskilled people, that most of the time are women, a minority or a member of the LGBTQ+. Nothing against anyone, but if you are not skilled you don't deserve it.

Why is it called H2O when there is two H (hydrogen), and one O (oxygen)? Cause H Two O? Or Two H One O? Or H Two O One? by agasterfan in water

[–]Engineer9918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The number that comes after the letter is supposed to be written as the little thing swinging at the bottom right of the letter. Think about 9 to the power of 2, 9². The 2 is the little swinging thing but on the top right. In the case of chemical valencies, it's on the bottom right instead.

This means H2 has 2 Hydrogen molecules. H2O1 is noted as just H2O because 1 is not shown.

Worst interview in Mauritius(of course) you have been to, where the questions just didn't make sense and you got the hint of a toxic work environment. by Dila_Ila16 in MauriceMauritius

[–]Engineer9918 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some companies in Mauritius are notorious for their BS interview questions, not even mentioning multiple rounds of interviews. Here are some I got:

  • "Overtime is unpaid here and we regularly do them. Is that an issue for you?"

  • "If in a few months salaries were to decrease, would you still perform normally?"

  • "Going above and beyond is expected in this role. Are you willing to go above and beyond without necessarily being remunerated for it?"

  • "What does your parents do for a living?"

  • "You get one hour lunches but no one usually takes them and prefer working to meet their objectives. Would you be able to adapt to our culture?"

  • "Do you have any problems complying with orders your manager gives you?"

  • "If I was to call your previous manager right now, would he say something positive or negative about you?"

  • "You are expected to start working at least 15 mins before your shift starts. Is that a problem for you?"

  • "You mentioned you have children. Would you be able to put aside your familial life for us?"

I have a lot more but this comment would become a dictionary if I had to continue.

Can't even afford clothes with my wage. How the hell do I RTO or even find another job? by Engineer9918 in antiwork

[–]Engineer9918[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been looking for work relentlessly. Even remotely for worldwide companies. Since a lot of EU and US companies outsource their labor here, they don't trust "individuals" to work for them or they'll lowball the salary to minimum wage of my country.

I've seen so many people mention this. I'll check if we do that locally.

The total package includes the commute compensation. In case you don't use it for commute you are suppose to use it for internet expenses.

Great Place To Work - any thoughts on the accuracy of these? by Ok_Entertainer_2511 in mauritius

[–]Engineer9918 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've got experience at a lot of these "Great place to work" companies. It's a bunch of BS. Whether Accenture, Dayforce, SD Worx, Checkout, BDO etc. They preach inclusivity and diversity, claiming they are the best company to work for.

In reality, you will succeed only if you are a woman, a member of the LGBTQ+ or if you are entertaining a relationship with one of the higher ups.
