Interesting why? I don’t wanna look back when I lived in Brooklyn quite frankly

funny

Where did u live?

Some context:

- I live in Fort Greene which is a beautiful neighborhood (considered like the west village of BK). The surrounding areas of dumbo, boerum hill, cobble hill and Brooklyn heights are all very similar and super walkable.
- Brooklyn allows me to more comfortably own a car without having to pay for a garage. In my old UES street, we had to move the car 2 days vs 1 day now.
- It varies by neighborhood, but my neighborhood’s small restaurants/bars/delis all have a great laid back vibe, and very good.
- The park is very close to our apt, which makes it really easy to walk our dog, and enjoy off-leash hours.
- Rent in this region of Brooklyn is not cheaper than the good areas of Manhattan. But we have a 3br apt here that we secured last yr, and our landlord did not materially increase at all, so we lucked out. Having this much space, while being super close to everything, makes WFH pretty convenient.

Our annual reviews are approaching & one of my direct reports has been with us for almost six years w/ little growth. My reco was to let him go & find a stronger, hungrier & more motivated designer at the same level. However, my boss instead wants us to promote him in hopes that will spark some motivation. I am not behind this decision & have voiced my multitude of concerns in promoting an employee who doesn't deserve it. HR is behind the decision! Thoughts on promoting an undeserving report?

I gave an interview in TCS on 2nd August, yesterday my status in the tcs ibegin portal changed to ‘Evaluated’. I called the hr but she is saying that it still needs to go through approvals. Any idea how long it takes for TCS to release the offer after the evaluation? Are there any chances of rejection post evaluation?
