Women’s health has recently come to the forefront. Had a few ask about fertility treatment assistance and another ask if we could add coverage for freezing eggs.

My entire Board of Directors is comprised of middle aged-to-retiree males, my entire C Suite is middle aged males, and our company stance on maternity leave is to “offer, but only to those who request it” and we are not allowed to advertise we have it.

So yeah…this one went nowhere fast. Sadly.

This employee sought funding for life coaching sessions, claiming it would improve their work-life balance and overall well-being. While we valued their desire for personal growth, the potential for opening a Pandora's box of individual coaching requests made us cautious.

What is the increment cycle in tiger analytics?

So, here it is. I was having joining on last week October as a senior analyst data science in Tiger Analytics. Today I got an call from HR that due to economic recession we are going to delay your date of joining by 2 months. My notice period was of 3 months. So total duration would be 5 months. Infact even after that too they didn't send me revised offer letter. There is something wrong with this company.
