Had a new client services person send out a calendar invite to clients. The day of the meeting she comes running to me in a panic that the client went to the wrong location. At the time, we had conference rooms named after local bars. Instead of selecting the conference room from the list of rooms, client services person typed the name of the room into the location bar, and the address to that place auto populated, so that’s where the clients (all women) went. IT WAS A STRIP CLUB.

Citius Tech. I asked for 30LPA. HR said it's not at all a problem.
Manager was fine with my profile in 2nd round and he said he will move to next client round. HR mailed me next day like like the client band is less and working on it.

Yesterday the HR replied that they can't match my expectation and thanks for applying.

Hare yaar. It's you who called me. I purposely said if you have budget proceed. Without even knowing that these HR's are working. Time waste for their employees too.
