I hope you dominated that armrest as well

What's the etiquette on that? I thought it was well understood that Windows stay closed on early morning flights so people can sleep, but I've never had to confront anyone about it

I think it's at the discretion of the one in the window seat at all times of day. Every seat gets one perk (aisle seat gets aisle access, middle seat gets armrests, window seat gets window). The window is the window-seat-person's perk––if you're highly invested in making sure the shade stays shut on AM flights, book a window seat.

You should say no if you want. He gets the armrests; you get the window.

Hello Fishes,

I had given interview
Mindtree and cleared both technical rounds. On Tuesday 29 March 2022, I got a call from HR for the final discussion. After that I have not received any response.

I have been calling the HR and her manager, both are not responding to mail or calls.

Is there a way to get some information if my candidature is still in progress or is this delay natural? I have another offer from another company, but am more interested in joining Mindtree.
