If you’re at RGA do it at your desk. There’s no one around, and those that are, well they’re not paying attention to you. That’s for sure.

Install Skype on your cellphone, take call anywhere you like.

Oh shit I just realized I know where the hidden phone rooms are

Pretty common. Bring your own laptop if you use your phone number for Skype

What agency peeps are in at 8a? Should be a ghost town at that point. Take the call with the phone room door open.

Nope. Close the door. They have no idea what you’re doing nor do they care.

Hmm it's at 8 am and my Skype laptops at work ... I'll probably do it there somewhere

Video Skype or just audio?

That's what they are for

Fortune favors the bold.

Just make sure the rooms are actually pretty soundproof. I did that at mcgarrybowen and after I finished my call I hung up and could hear every word from the person's call in the room next to me. Woops

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.

There’s no reason you have to put up with a job you hate. I spent many years working in a toxic environment with a boss who gossiped and lead through fear. He wasn’t really much of a leader but basically a foreman. And he could make my existence miserable. I admit that it wasn’t easy to find another job but the bottom line is: trust your guts. If you feel something is wrong it’s because it probably is. Don’t second guess yourself. Look for options and and fight for your mental health.
