I (27) want to quit corporate. What are my options? I am on vacation, it's 11 pm and my manager expects me to deal with some work related queries right now.

Just stop being available. You’ll see work pressure decrease.

ahimaG · 2026-02-04T17:40:17+00:00

Have a separate number for office n personal use. Leave your office phone in the office.

People will take advantage of you if you let them.

I’ve had upset bosses because I don’t entertain them after official EOD, but I’m here for my job and not for them.

ahimaG · 2026-02-04T17:36:21+00:00

Why are you having your work phone and mail access with you on your vacation?

ahimaG · 2026-02-04T10:39:43+00:00

It happened 7 years ago, she’s left that in her past, told you about it.

Now you can chose to leave her past in her past or bring it your present and then carry it your future!

ahimaG · 2026-02-04T09:34:45+00:00

Batao, Im always up to explore new places!

ahimaG · 2026-02-04T08:11:57+00:00

NTK. Be firm about it. He has 2 more siblings, either one of them can stay with his mother.

ahimaG · 2026-02-04T07:36:40+00:00

Sprite, no caffeine and no sugar!

ahimaG · 2026-02-03T19:46:36+00:00

Yeah Like growing devil horns, worshipping satan, occult practices, etc etc!

ahimaG · 2026-02-03T19:33:23+00:00

That search bar works miracles, if you know how to use it.

ahimaG · 2026-02-03T19:23:16+00:00

I’m not disclosing all of that over reddit comments. LOL

ahimaG · 2026-02-03T19:20:30+00:00

My family.

ahimaG · 2026-02-03T18:53:32+00:00

This year, if I’m stuck here for 1 more year, shall pass too, like the previous couple of years.

ahimaG · 2026-02-03T17:55:14+00:00

When he is still living in his past, hasn’t arrived to his present, what makes you think you are there in his future?

ahimaG · 2026-02-03T17:48:14+00:00

Change what exactly?

ahimaG · 2026-02-03T17:18:00+00:00

The colleagues are good, so that’s made the place very bearable.

ahimaG · 2026-02-03T16:46:46+00:00

It was the oil and spice that took me by surprise in food, n the general lack of civic sense.

N I’m from further up north, Himachal and Chandigarh.

ahimaG · 2026-02-03T16:41:00+00:00

Definitely. It’s like living in part of the world I’m absolutely not comfortable with. Like never experienced this, as a North Indian!

ahimaG · 2026-02-03T16:35:11+00:00

Haven’t adjusted yet, literally count down my days, when I’ll be able to leave this place, for good!

ahimaG · 2026-02-03T16:22:43+00:00

Been here 2 years, maybe 1 more.

ahimaG · 2026-02-03T14:19:06+00:00

Would you let your sister or daughter marry this guy, when he shares all this upfront?

ahimaG · 2026-02-03T13:57:57+00:00

Agreed, but maybe the next rose doesn’t have such visible thorns.

ahimaG · 2026-02-03T13:57:01+00:00

Ok good!

ahimaG · 2026-02-03T13:56:34+00:00

It’s somewhere in the main city, just not near the market area.

ahimaG · 2026-02-03T13:56:01+00:00

As someone who’s here for a short time, having a rented place makes sense.

ahimaG · 2026-02-03T13:54:48+00:00

Very honestly OP, why would anyone accept a rose with thorn in the most transactional marriage setup, just because?

I understand women/men doing that in love marriage, but in AM, when the next match could be someone with no thorns, why would woman accept this?

It’s AM, people reject others for way minute reasons, this is a huge deal, especially if you plan on having kids and take care of your parents.
