During our daily team discussion last week, we explored the idea of everyone having a universal basic income. Some colleagues believed it could give people the freedom to pursue roles that align with their passions rather than just paychecks. Others argued it might reduce motivation in the workplace. I get both points. I know it woupd actually really impact the economy but without thinking too deeply what are your thoughts?

I think we as a society have moved past the need for an arbitrary 40-hour work week, and we're just doing it now because we've always done it. We have robots painting pretty pictures while the actual humans still toil away for literally no reason. A UBI with our current technology could free up a lot of time spent on busywork.

This post is an alert message for anyone joining the Johnson & Johnson EMEA account for SAP & had Rakesh Sharma for their Manager round.

He is nothing less than a con man & will promise you a lot to make you join the account. After that he will put you in testing projects. If you ask for a release, he will either not release you or release with a very bad rating and influence other project managers to not take you into their projects.

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.
