So at work on Mon, a fellow employee said she liked by shirt and asked if I’m an AKA too. I said no, I just like the shirt (pink & green). She walked away with this disgusted look on her face. So it’s disrespectful to wear these colors?

No, clarify, move-on and don’t overthink it.

I don’t think it’s disrespectful to wear pink and green if you like the colors. However, I can see how it might have been interpreted differently, especially if it’s linked to a specific organization like AKA. Maybe she felt like it was inappropriate if it wasn’t part of the tradition. It’s a tricky situation!

lol nahhh OP. You’re literally wearing color. It’s not a tricky situation and it’s not disrespectful. People like to be butthurt about everything and this woman from work is 🤡.

To clarify, the shirt was not an AKA shirt, just a shirt that by happenstance was pink and green?

Oh wow. In that case, this is a them issue. Perhaps they got excited and were looking to make friends; but that is not how you do it...😬

Hello guys,
Today I had salary negotiation with
Capgemini , they are offering 15 lpa with 10% variable. I feel this is a bit low based on current market standards. I asked for 20 initially, but they are not willing to go beyond 15 without any counter offer. HR flat out rejected 20 saying business will not approve. what is the max they will give after providing counter offer? And if i join around November, when will i be eligible for next appraisal? They are offering c1 band.

I am in the Houston area at an energy related tech company as a software engineer. I have been working here a year and a half and got a 10% raise (70->77) but don't know if I am being undervalued. This is my first job in the field but I am evaluated as a top performer and have responsibilities like mentoring other employees and interns, delegating certain work items and make some of our major design decisions as we move forward.
