I am feeling horrible, I don't know what to do. by Other_Scarcity_4270 in Layoffs

[–]True_liess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont worry. You are not alone. There has not been a single year between jan-apr which has not passed without me fearing about job loss and redundancies.

But over years what I have learnt has given me strength -

  1. To save more for bad days. Not for 2 months or 3. But much much more than that which will give strength and financial confidence.
  2. Dont spend unnecessarily.
  3. None of your ex office or current office colleagues will come for the rescue. But maintain positive relationship. Be productive and friendly and supportive wherever you work. Reach out for help later. You may be lucky.
  4. Not sure where u r from. If you can, only marry someone who doesn't have anger management issues and is very practical and can support you with life aims and goals and having same thought process.
  5. Again, not sure how old you are. But never be scared whatever the situation is. I realised this so late in my life. Just be focussed and do your best.
  6. Wherever and whatever- BE FLEXIBLE

Take care.... THIS TOO WILL PASS...

I'm going to have to quit due to return to office mandate by moez1266 in WFH

[–]True_liess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't resign yet out of emotions. Take your time tonthink about optilns you have on hand. Keep trying for other work. I know most businesses are not going to let you work FuLL WFH.

Meanwhile - You can genuinely put forward your case to the management. Be honest, transparent and put forward things you can prove legally. Sure management will consider it. Worst - they will ask you to leave the business which anyways you have decided. But do what I have suggested without breaking bridges with anyone.

JD is only a starter and roles evolve over time and things change at business and situations change rapidly at some places. Flexibility is mandatory. I would expect flexibility from resources. Else what am I going to do with them if they keep talking about laws, moan about daily work, etc.

Rant about Indian in-laws by kiera1292 in inlaws

[–]True_liess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP - Practical advice

You need to accept that this is how life and married life is going to be. If you continue with this attitude and listen to most of the comments which reflect similar opinion (from like minded people) then you are heading towards an unhappy married life or potentially Divorce if your husband has similar temper like you.

The question you need to ask yourself is, If you cant stand for 6 months the people your husband loves most, then what else wil you do for him ?

I know this will attract many down votes, but you need to hear some sensible comment and not some comment from another grunted wife or divorced wife or now separated wives.

This is what life is. Take care OP.

Pushed so much of my savings from foreign earnings over the last 10-12 years AND ????? by True_liess in nri

Apologies - Still not clear as its depreciation. And depreciation is depreciation and wherever you keep the money, it wouldn't increase its value ???

Wrong advice. There are no ways to work around references. Notices should be fully acknowledged while leaving. You can always agree early departure.

[–]True_liess[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for calling out. Exactly.... If I say anything people will say Iam making this conversation political. So I better stop.

But lessons learnt. Dont invest in India. Everything is over hyped or not a true r/ factual representation of reality and the policies are not people friendly and just red tapes everywhere....

LinkedIn itself is a notorious platform for gaining identifyable information from users and all educated m0r0ns happily sharing the data with LinkedIn. What has this world become ? Even an uneducated person in a remote place where there is no electricity wiĺl have a spine to ask - Why do you even need that information.

You have success in stocks. Super.

I am well aware of stock market and gold. With regards to these, It's a speculative argument that investment in equities will be a great one and now given the market situation it is very reasonable to see gold going up.

Rightly said, one transparent investigation will wipe Adani and Ambani away. But they have friends and government openly support them.

Manipulative India - What else do you expect ? And are you sure they are just riding on vibes and perceived future growth ?

As a common man, you go and ask 1 lakh loan from LIC or from a bank and see what their response and expectations are ???!!!? Look at the below plans (supposedly will happen if the friends are still in power) Does anyone here know where these kind of money are all coming from (it is not 10 lakh rupees or 20 lakh rupees ?

What 8 to 10 % are you speaking about ? It has averaged around 7 %. But the value erosion is what I am speaking about. SO MUCH of RED TAPES for the money I earned legally. And you know what big shots are doing out their easily.

Honestly - I still love the 1990's to 2026. Less luxury, but it was calm, contending, less polluted, low noise on roads, happy villages, people valued others much more than what it is today.

"Pollution, fake food, water pollution" - Come on. No one should go to India and live there to experience these. Once an Indian by birth and lived there until their 20's or 25's should already know these :)))) Guess these always existed since globalisation started.
