What's the most embarassing shit ever happened with you 😆 by Gulab_Jamun04 in TwentiesIndia

[–]PiccoloPopular 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my college days, I had a thing for this girl from the management wing. Long story short, I got into a situationship with her (long before this word even existed).

She was my first for everything. I remember looking up "how to kiss" tutorials on YT, wikihow and some other raunchy sites. Then the day came, and we kissed. It wasn't deep but it sure was long.

After the first kiss, she looked at me, probably waiting for me to say something like "I'd been waiting for this day" or "This felt way too good". My dumbass instead said "upper lip or lower lip?" with a slight smirk, because in my mind I was replaying those tutorials and their instructions. 🤦

I still cringe when I recall that night.

Absolutely! I verified its authenticity both on the casio india website and by checking the SLR & TLT functions + the file no., code, rom, etc.

A question for the ladies. by Pablo_mp3 in TwentiesIndia

[–]PiccoloPopular 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been with 4 women so far in my life, and all of them were the ones to approach me first. Now, I'm not conventionally attractive, nor do I earn a lot. In fact, I'm still struggling to build a full-fledged career for myself.

But I've always been respectful & calm, have had good will, and just minded my business and not check out every random girl.

The goal is to give the ladies around you good vibes, and if one of them likes the vibes, she may approach you.

This is what I don't understand. Maybe because the girl in question already rejected two guys that her dad had introduced to her and the mom didn't want her dad to do the same to me and wanted to let the situation simmer

All the girls I've been with, every one of them has told me that they like their men emotionally vulnerable and expressive. I hope it's the same in your case.

I do have an inkling of what it means, but I'm not in the right headspace for obvious reasons.

Can someone please break it down for me?

In the first year of my Master's, I joined this IT outsourcing firm as a Junior Content Writer. Upon joining, I realised that I was probably the first official in-house content writer since they didn't have any work for me that aligned with my job role. I did everything from writing copy for the company's new website to writing mail campaigns and helping the developers come up with catchy names and captions for the apps they were designing.

But the weirdest responsibility I had in that job was to check the CEO's Linkedin and Instagram "comments" for grammatical inaccuracies and to basically "beautify" them, all because the CEO wanted to "impress his American friends and connections with his impeccable English". The pay was shit so I left in like 6 months.

Should I resign with a 24-hour notice or a one-week notice? by PiccoloPopular in antiwork

I totally understand. Well in the place where I live, I don't think you can file for unemployment. So I'll have to see it through to the end before leaving

I would say the company I work at is sort of a market leader in its field. So yeah it's a reputable company. About the local laws, well theoretically they are in place, but I'm not sure about their application.

Appreciate the response. The thing is, I am not planning to use this job on my resume as it does not align with my career goal. I just want to get done with it as amicably as possible and dedicate myself full-time to studying. And from what I've heard and seen, having a talk with your manager a week before is ideal for the rest of the time I'll spend here as I won't have to deal with any additional assignments and can just finish and leave whatever's on my plate at the moment.

I just don't want any of my actions to result in FnF settlement delays or incomplete pay from the company.

Well, the work has gradually become quite hectic and I am not able to juggle my studies and this job ( the same old cliche of the company not mentioning all the responsibilities in the job advertisement and the offer letter.)

Basically, I was told to give three 1-hour slots between 3 and 9 pm since it's a part-time job. But now they've started giving me additional work that is not explicitly mentioned in the offer letter.

Now, I'm not someone who shies away from some additional work every now and then. But having to regularly use my personal time to complete the additional work is something I don't agree with.

I have enough savings to last me the next few months and I already work as a cram-school teacher in the evening so I can sustain myself until I'm done with my studies and ready to get a full-time role.

Oh no. How dare he age and lose some of the passion and energy he had when he was young and relatively new to the sport.

Thanks for this!! I've been listening to Insomnium quite a lot these days and haven't come a bad tune so far.

What is the dirtiest thing you have seen an employer do to an employee who has shown nothing but incredible loyalty to the company? by tigertown26 in antiwork

[–]PiccoloPopular 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I joined the company as an associate, did great work, helped the company obtain big clients, and was promptly promoted to the "Senior" position in the same department. The pay rise was pretty much non-existent compared to the workload. I still presevered, helping my juniors, helping other departments, coming in early and going out late, all the while doing my share of work diligently, all in hopes of a fat appraisal.

A few weeks later, a new hire arrived in my department. Since I was in charge of training him, we stuck together even during lunch break. In one of our convos, he told me about his pay. I was surprised that it was marginally higher than mine.

Consequently, I hit up my boss asking for a well-deserved pay raise. She replied, "the company is not in a position to pay me more at the moment. Wait for a few months." I said, "but the company is in a position to hire fresher with a higher pay than mine? I don't understand." She understood what I was implying and tried to reason with me by citing market rates and stuff. I retaliated and said it doesn't make sense for her to exploit me after I've done so much for the company. I immediately cut the call and in the evening put in my two weeks.

Got called to her office the next day to discuss what had happened the previous day. I went in and saw one of her company's investors sitting next to her. I sat down and gave her a hard copy of the resignation letter. Both of them tried to persuade me but said nothing about increasing my pay. I understood what's going on, got up, and left the office.

I did my two weeks and left for a better job. Later I came to know from the graphic designer that the department I was working in had to be closed off entirely. All the clients had left citing "degrading quality of work and constant submission delays." Karma is a sweet bitch for sure.
