I think I’ve been quiet quitting without realizing it. I used to be the first to volunteer, stay late, and solve every fire, but lately, I just do my job and log off. Not because I’m lazy, but because going above and beyond never led to anything but burnout. What finally pushed you to stop overextending yourself? And how do you learn to be okay with just doing your job?

I overextend many times, but my motivator is never the company, its my zeal to learn, that motivational factor has kept me going till now. I am not loyal to any company, because even if you die by overworking, there are high chances HR would say ‘its due to other health reasons’ and will never state overwork as one of the factors, and also in this generation, they can remove any employee any time.

That being said,
It’s high time for you to reprioritize things, rethink why you are working or earning, set your boundaries appropriately. Take a break and be back with your own level of boundaries, do enough work that doesn’t make a non-contributor but also sustainable in long run. If the company is trying to overwork you even after you try setting boundaries and you do not like it for whatever reasons they may be, may be it’s not the right place for you.

Has anyone heard or experienced going on maternity leave, then leaving shortly after returning? I'm hearing from my husband's company if he takes pat leave, and leaves shortly after returning, he'd have to repay the wages paid while out on leave. Is this only for pat leave and the person who gives birth wouldn't have to pay back as it's technically disability pay? Trying to weigh my options as I want to get out of my company, but want the mat leave first.

Hello all,

I had a quick question

Had a call with audit leaders last week and were told that they haven't finalized the office building and they will get possession of the new building in Pune only by Jan 2023.

Currently they just have the ITS with the seating capacity of 30 people.

Now for audit they want us to go to office 2 days every week. How are we supposed to do that when they don't even have an office? But they are still adamant to get us back to office location by June 1.
