Hi guys
I am working in Tata Consultancy kolkata from past 3 years, planning to get transfer to TCS Bangalore(hometown). Will there be any issues if I provide fake medical certificate for my parents? Also now they are forcing me to come back to kolkata office, is there any possibly they may let me work from bangalore office even if my project ODC is not there in bangalore?

OP, I just told my managing partner that I had something happen with my SO and it’s really impacted me, and that I can keep running the project, but I do need a little slack with respect to self care time. He was so kind, and said to do whatever I needed. I know not everyone is comfortable with this sort of vulnerability, but given the nature of the work we do and its unforgiving quality when real life happens, I find this approach has been most effective for me.

I did the same earlier this week actually, I confided in my managing partner. He was also very understanding, told me to cut myself some slack and take all the time I needed. That definitely helped, great advice indeed. It’s just that this project was something I fought for and it’s important to me to do well despite my personal situation. Feels like it’s the only thing I can control at the moment

Maybe allot yourself a little extra time in the morning to get centered and do something you like, then promise yourself a break midday and in the evening, even if it’s just 20 minutes. It’ll give you something to push towards and also a period of time where you can feel what you’re feeling without it interrupting work. When I had a similar situation, it felt like that doom and gloom was hanging over me constantly unless I stopped, took inventory of what was important to me that morning, then committed to keeping good face until my next break, and repeated.

Also, I’m sorry OP. Heartbreak is one of the worst feelings in the world. Sending really warm wishes your way. It will get better soon and you will grow as a result of it. ❤️
