I had an account person who used to say "wait, i'm confused..." when what she really meant was "Wait. You're confused." And she was right.

We have someone who always says "can you explain for the team..." whenever she is confused herself.

No, it might be "YOU don't know what you're talking about", but I'll humor you by asking about it... Need more context unless you're just venting about whatever is going on with you right now, which is lot of what this app has become. Try having dialogues with people, geez...

Hi Team,

TCS has released the offer letter for me & my doj is on 30th Jan which I chose. My current employer is ready to release me early and my lwd is 30th November.

I am confused whether I should join on 30th Jan or I should talk to HR for early joining. Also, there are rumours that Indian MNCs are cancelling offer letters due to recession and hence I am scared as I don't have any other offer in hand

What's the truth 🤔
