Hi Capgemini people, Till 15th November we have to declare our vaccination status so that they can plan back to office for the employees who are fully vaccinated or having report of not having covid. I am Fully vaccinated but if I declare that I am partially vaccinated will they get to know my bluff? Actually I am not much interested to go back to office as of now may be in february it will be fine for me

I have a hot take on this specific point. I think self care is important, don't get me wrong. But in the modern world, where so much of what we do is focused on overthinking everything about our *selves* I have often found that people I work with get even more satisfaction from serving their communities in some capacity. Handing out meals at a shelter, volunteering with animals, getting involved in local refugee communities.. these are the kinds of things that help people de-stress and develop more optimistic worldviews.

This is a somewhat Western idea of self care. Selfcare has branded and turned into a commodity, yes. Alot of it is also based on appropriation. However, we should also be careful of giving back with a mindset of helping others only to help ourselves or to teach ourselves "it could be worse." That minimizes and trivializes the experiences of others unnecessarily and we do ourselves a disservice to ourselves as well. Not saying that's the intention here, but so often things can be twisted as others consume our words when it's left to interpretation.
