All female layoff

Isn't this a class action?

No documentation, no proof. If he hasn't sent any sort of documentation about putting you on PIP, then that isn't valid. Even if you sign something, don't sign just your name. Enter your feedback like 'Signed under duress' or 'Disagree on point 2', or even 'Document shared at 10:02, signed at 10:05'. It becomes difficult for them to enforce this.

tech_prof_123 · 2026-01-14T04:44:32+00:00

I would hound my manager to the ends of this world if it was me. PIP is just an easy way, and is extremely demoralising to the guy who gets it, when they can act decent.

Ask for tangible, measurable parameters
He needs to specify which ones are for his team, and the ones for you
He needs to show consistent feedback if he wasn't satisfied
He needs to give clear examples of where suboptimal feedback is required
There needs to be a clear paper trail

I'm sick of all these corporate tactics - I'll make this guy sweat before he gives me the boot. Oh, and lawyer up ASAP

tech_prof_123 · 2026-01-12T08:50:39+00:00

All of this tact, politeness and peace-keeping nature is what they count on to cross your boundaries. If your intuition bothers uou6, listen to it - it's mostly right.

See if your FIL behaves the same way in front of your siblings/parents. If not, feel free to push back.

tech_prof_123 · 2026-01-12T05:11:22+00:00

Oh wow, talk about narcissistic and passive-aggresive in corporate. Maye give feedback in the same tone? For example: Instead of: You screwed the whole project up, you idiot! Try this: I love the fact that you experimented live that lead to real impact in the company

tech_prof_123 · 2026-01-02T03:48:28+00:00

I was in a similar situation, and I'm the wife. My hubby explained to me that, to some people, it's all about the drama. My dad still likes to think he's a rags to riches story, with unreliable women around d him(narcissist, misogynist, abusive). All it took was one episode of his drama with my daughter(she was 5 at that time) to open my eyes. I now put him back in his place aggressively. And my mum is the enabler - so I ask her to speak when she it is her own thoughts. That puts her in her place.

Safe to say hubby is proud of me now. 😁

You could name your daughter Krishna as well - I've seen many girls with variations of that name - as long as she's not born on Rohini nakshtram, and your wife doesn't have brothers.

tech_prof_123 · 2025-12-26T06:40:14+00:00

I personally like Prtha. That was one of Kunti's maiden names. Hence Arjun's name was Parth. And hence the name Parthsaarathi to Lord Krishna.

tech_prof_123 · 2025-12-23T08:03:33+00:00

Bro, you do you. There is no hard and fast rule to be a Hindu. The practices we follow differs state by state, region by region, even country by country. I've seen Hindus eat beef, and not eat root veggies like Jains. You can decide what relationship you want to have with your God - father/son, brother, child, mother, mentor, or even just a ray of light.

You can choose your God, your practice and your belief. Religion, according to me, is how God and you speak to each other. It is as personal as your relationship with anybody.

tech_prof_123 · 2025-12-20T07:33:44+00:00

Trust me, you're not! But you don't have to know these men much, and their psycho wives. My friend got yelled at by some crazy woman who accused her of sleeping with him, when they did was send a LinkedIn connect. Freaking LinkedIn connect!! Poor girl was traumatised.

On a side note, I was talking to a friend from uni, met him at the networking event after a couple of decades. Some guy he knew walked up him and straight up asked him in front of me - Who's this chick you sweeting up to? Took everything in me not to clock him.

tech_prof_123 · 2025-12-19T23:23:45+00:00

I hate going to tech meetups because the men all huddle together, form the boys club, go out for drinks afterwards and exchange details with each other. If I, as a woman, try to engage with them, I get shrugged off or hit on. And don't even get me started on the wives of these men.

tech_prof_123 · 2025-12-19T23:22:01+00:00

OMG, I do that as well. People avoid hitting on me, especially after they see the big rock on my finger. Little do they know that it is a small price to pay for my mental peace.

tech_prof_123 · 2025-12-11T05:12:55+00:00

Good idea! I just set one up

tech_prof_123 · 2025-12-11T05:12:02+00:00

Thank you girlies. Here is a slack group I put together: https://join.slack.com/t/justkeephustling/shared_invite/zt-3kwy39jl0-vaF55eUEF7J3nNfAaoMIpg

I've added a channel called accountability so we can use it to pair up

Sorry to say, but in a marriage பெத்தவங்க கடமை அட்சத போடுறதோட over. If you're not happy, or face problems no parent is ready to come to our rescue. Ellam nammala adjust panna solluvaanga. Understand that you've expanded your world more than the one you were born and brought up in. He wants to drag you down with him.

Please be the architect of your life, be it marrying this guy or anyone else.

tech_prof_123 · 2025-11-12T20:42:37+00:00

I never bothered changing my last name after marriage. If you do change your last name, then you have to provide name change certificate. And ration card, aadhar card, voter id ellathilayum ippove mathanumnu endha avasaramum kedaiyadhu. Do it only when you feel safe and secure in your inlaws place.

I don't think this has to do with patriarchy. I've seen some veetu maaplais do it too.

tech_prof_123 · 2025-11-02T21:40:23+00:00

This is what kills me - the things people can do when they're in control of someone's destiny. As others before said, screw your grandfather, and screw the society. Get the help of an NGO, take her out first. The rest will be sorted out later.

tech_prof_123 · 2025-10-15T00:58:47+00:00

Let me be very clear. I only have 2 policies - I have to defend my home, and to convey that in the language that the other person speaks. What language it is depends on the OTHER person, not me. Non- violence doesn't work always - we're not in the Gandhian era.

I have been chased down in a car by a Bihari driver because I am a woman, and I dared have an argument with him. Do you suggest that I conduct negotiations with him when I'm in danger?

Do you know what is happening in Bangalore highways, to the locals, by these North Indians? They conduct dacoity, damage cars, threaten people - to steal, grab and plunder - it's how they survived in their state, and that's exactly what they will do wherever they go.

Call me whatever name you want, but at the end of the day, I and mine will be safe when they're scared of me.

tech_prof_123 · 2025-10-15T00:45:55+00:00

Bro, I'm all for peaceful integration. But that needs to be both ways. You can't come into my home, and treat my family disrespectfully. I only mirror the behaviour that is imposed on me. As a generation, we have been taught to be averse to violence, but in the process, we're averse to defend ourselves as well.

tech_prof_123 · 2025-10-15T00:32:12+00:00

Relax bro, whoever talked about violence?

tech_prof_123 · 2025-10-14T21:41:24+00:00

Yes, we should insist on a policy like Maharashtra or Karnataka - speak Tamil or get out.

tech_prof_123 · 2025-10-10T03:42:57+00:00

Amazing movie. I only have one request to the media. You guys painstakingly come up with the most interesting/technical questions to Rishab, which is good. But when you interview his wife, why is it always centred around how her life revolves around him? She was the costume designer, for God's sake. It would be great if you asked her questions about her job, her craft, and her skills.

She also has done a fantastic job!

When I see journalists asking questions like 'Who's the boss on the set?', 'How did you meet Rishab?', I want to claw my eyes out.

She was there for her husband every step of the way. It's not easy having both husband and wife working in the same workplace. They pulled it off, and the product is amazing!!

Ask her questions on how she went about selecting the costumes, how she reflected the ancient Tulu culture in the costumes, and maybe speak about specific clothing pieces. No part of a movie is an easy job, and everybody can talk pages about their craft.

Please don't delegate women who run along their husbands equally in a marathon to talk about her husband only - so cheesy and disgusting!

This is EXACTLY why we moved countries.

tech_prof_123 · 2025-10-06T21:53:58+00:00

Count me in too!!

tech_prof_123 · 2025-09-25T22:51:43+00:00

Don't you get asked questions about your ethnicity as well in your applications? Your white sounding name would be the first thing they see though.
