It can be a negative if you look nothing like your “glamour shot”. People think you’re catfishing.

I had a professional headshot done years ago, which I think worked out well for me when I first added it. However, it’s probably eight years old now. So I wouldn’t say my experience is very fresh.

Hi fishes, my previous employer has not given me the money for Earned Leaves, they are saying it's not in their policy.. I have a variable bonus of 100000. Out of this they have given only 19,000 in the month of December after 6 months of joining...But they are not giving me any bonus after completing 1 year and 2 months.. They have stopped my appraisal as well...

So in total, I lost my appraisal money, bonus and Earned Leaves money... I feel betrayed and cheated...

What should I do ??
