Mercedes-Benz Research & Development India Hello.
My job application status in portal says it is under review since one month but I haven't recieved any calls or mails. Does it mean I am still in consideration or they have put my candidature on hold?

I don't mind cold calls quite as much as I mind the message + call combo. It's rough when someone is coming at you from multiple angles. But I think it's a sign of a fragile society that gets so overwhelmed by a phone call that didn't come with a warning. Like, it's okay you get to choose to answer or not.
Exactly! The double hit of a message AND a call feels like an ambush.

There are so many impatient colleagues who expect instant answers, without considering that the other person might have tasks to finish too. It’s like they forget we’re all juggling workloads, not just sitting around waiting for them.
Right? Like we don’t have our own pile of things to do too. Instant answers aren’t realistic.

Yes! It’s like they’re trying to recreate the landline era. At least let me mentally prepare before my screen starts flashing like an alarm.
Haha yes! Let me at least brace myself before the screen lights up like a fire drill
It’s part of the job sometimes lol so i personally don’t care. Plus I’m very approachable and easy to talk to
Totally, that makes sense! Appreciate you being approachable, it makes things way easier
I have a very hard time with context switching, so this is the best way to derail my productivity for hours. Unless something is on fire, then a message will do and you can wait for me to respond.
Totally get that. once I’m thrown off track it takes forever to get back in the zone. A quick msg goes a long way
