Is Nagarro good to join? I have a fully remote opportunity which I'm pretty sure I can crack. Is the pay and benefits good at Nagarro? Do they provide laptop and test devices or will I have to work on my laptop? Do they give medical insurance etc? What if the project gets over. Do they have enough projects or will I be asked to move to a different technology? Will I be fired if on bench? Nagarro

Boss lacks sense
Is your boss prior military?
There’s your answer

@D1 wow that’s a fragile way to exist

Assuming best intentions, they probably have an odd sense of humor and felt comfortable around you to make a bad joke. But if they are often inappropriate, I’d address it.
It’s not uncommon to ask employees to document their jobs and processes. Organizations like documentations. Sometimes we used that to automate their jobs.
I actually look at it the other way, my team has to know I’m working on in case I get hit by the bus. Use the analogy all the time to make sure folks appreciate the importance of top down communication.
You could have some fun with this, invent some adventures. How much does your Manager know about your job?
Sounds like a micromanager tbh … I would be 😒
Hahaha this is the best ‘ish ever. At least you know you’re just a number so find something better.

My boss would pay my hospital bills and cover trips to Europe for experimental treatment after looking at my “daily agenda” for 30 seconds.
Someone who’s not the best people person
I use the bus analogy all the time in regards to myself. Because I'm doing so many jobs in my one job, I tell the newbies who are supposed to take some of my work to make sure if I die tomorrow they know how to keep on chugging along.
For reals I think I'm gonna get a heart attack soon at this rate.

Maybe they think you're doing tons and want to see what's on your plate and how they can support you. Maybe they are looking to add another role but it's not full time and they want to pull some work from you to round it out. Maybe he wants to promote you but need an idea of what he would need to backfill. Maybe he's under pressure to document everything in the org (it is good business practice after all). Or maybe you haven't been pulling your weight and he's curious what you actually are working on (which you would know if you've been slacking). Maybe he has a special project in mind and he wants to see if you have capacity. Could be a million reasons why.
Military way of thinking. Nothing wrong with that.
