Why did my boss not tell me there were problems before we got to this point?

Truth. Wtf? Why is this a question? This is business not a date. Don't be precious. There's so many bad employees being tolerated for months then fired because no one wants to work with them. Tell the truth and offer suggestions for improvement. The best compliment is believing the can change and grow. Then if they don't, let them go. They'll at least understand why vs being idle for months before being canned and feeling blindsided.

Hello Folks,
Can you pls advise on which company to go for.

R-Systems and CTS are giving same CTC.
YOE ~8
Skill set : . Net full stack + Angular + Azure
