Completely roasted by the onsite team due to my manager

I was working with my manager to complete the work assigned by the irritating onsite team and out of nowhere, my manager started giving new suggestions to work on. With no options left, I started to work on the suggestions provided by my manager, and trusting my manager would join the call and defend me from any questions from the onsite team. However, a few mins before the call, my manager called and informed me that he would not be able to join the call due to some personal work. I was completely furious about my manager's decision to not join the call with some lame excuses, and I was left all alone in the call to defend all the tasks suggested by my manager. A few minutes into the call, the onsite team got angered about the slides and furious with me that there was nothing relevant in the slides, which they requested, and wanted me to completely focus only on the tasks they shared and not to work on other slides. This clear direction from the onsite team was helpful so that I do not need to work on unnecessary suggestions from my manager and to know more such updates, please feel free to check out the blog posts in "G R Team Sites"

Job insecurity due to coronavirus

I was on a long vacation and with Coronavirus unleashing its beast mode across the country, the government had announced a complete lockdown of all activities. Since I had applied for my vacation long back, I did not want it to be interrupted and I continued to be on my vacation. Within few hours of the country being in lockdown, we all received urgent mail from our company stating that we should continue to connect from home until further notice and the lockdown will not impact our jobs or salaries. I was completely relieved after reading this mail and the mail meant the most because the mail assured that our jobs are safe and there would not be any change in salary structure. Initial days were really scary and with no communication in emails from my team, I was getting nervous, and, in the meantime, I called my colleague to check in about things happening in the team and any updates from my manager due to COVID-19 situation gripping across places. To know more on what details that my colleague shared to me due to Corona pandemic, please feel free to check out the blog posts in “G R Team Sites”
