Mumbled Ramblings and nothingness

 Quiet Firing Recently, there has been a trend of "Quiet Quitting" which basically, according to a Google Search says,  "E mployees work within defined work hours  and engage solely in activities within those hours.  D oing precisely what the job requires." This term seems to have especially seemed to crop up more and more in newspaper articles and internet blogs ever since the pandemic. Previously, it may been collocated due to "work pressure", "burn-out", due to putting in extra work hours to get the job done, which emerged as a silent protest against this.  But, what many people noticed along with it is the massive number of lay-offs and cost cutting measures that the organizations have seemed to take increase their profits and remove employees who they probably deemed as "not good enough" resources to keep on the company pay-roll.  I am not only talking about the MNCs and businesses that are doing this but also almost all SMEs are p...

 The title comes off as no surprise that I am "The Office" fan. The best thing about sitcoms have always been comedy from "F.R.I.E.N.D.S" to "The Big Ban Theory", even cartoons like "The Simpsons" to "Rick and Morty".

The cherry on the top is that it has purposely done it through characters who are unaware of how offensive or sensitive it is supposed to be which either makes us forgive the person or be amused even further at the person who does it.  The bottomline of my love for "The Office" co...

 Today I am going to talk about an Indian journalist who's very popular for interviewing influential, famous and political people and frequently resorts to shouting, name-calling and mud-slinging on the people who he talks with on his show to gain attention and control over the opponent or making a complete fool out of himself by using such tactics.  The founder of the Republic TV, the one who's known to "Frankly speak with" often and on the news channels he has worked on " Arnab Goswami". "THE NATION WANTS TO KNOW WHEN DID YOU GET THOSE SPECTACLES??" On a serious note though, as someone who's opinionated, asks uncomfortable questions and was known to be one of the few ones who "hated everyone equally" has now turned into a "nationalist, BJP paid supporter" who tries to shut down any news article that speaks negatively about him.
