I have been working in company and my colleagues are extremely mannerless. They peep in my phone and desktop without my consent. Infact, I get less work as compared to them due to which i complete my work atleast 1-2 hours prior to the logout time. Now the whole office makes fun of me for it. How to teach them a lesson?

Ans: Addressing workplace challenges requires a balanced and professional approach. In your case, where colleagues infringe upon your privacy and engage in unprofessional behavior, it's essential to address the issue constructively.

Firstly, consider initiating a direct conversation with the individuals involved. Calmly but assertively communicate your boundaries regarding privacy, emphasizing the importance of mutual respect in the workplace environment. Such a dialogue may lead to a better understanding and resolution of the matter.

Should the behavior persist despite your attempts at direct communication, it may be prudent to escalate the issue through appropriate channels within the company. This could entail discussing the situation with your immediate supervisor or the human resources department, providing factual accounts of the instances where your privacy was compromised.

While navigating these challenges, remain focused on maintaining your professionalism and dedicating yourself to your work. Demonstrating diligence and commitment to your responsibilities will not only bolster your reputation but also serve as a testament to your character amidst any unwarranted criticism or ridicule.

Furthermore, seeking support from trusted confidants or mentors can provide valuable insights and guidance on managing such workplace dynamics. Remember to prioritize your well-being and maintain a proactive approach towards addressing any workplace conflicts, ensuring a conducive and respectful working environment for all employees involved.

Relationship

I am working in a corporate for last 14 years now, I always face problem dealing with people. Specially with those who you know does not have good intentions and can push you down by any means to show their worth. I usually keep my bare minimum interaction with them however they manipulation my teammates and instigate against me Irony is that whom I have a rift are in good books of the management. I simply cannot understand how management can be so bias, just with alcohol, non veg and gossips people can grow It' been 15 years I always struggle dealing with manipulative and toxic coworkers.

Ans: It’s common in corporate settings for certain people to thrive through social politics, but that doesn’t mean it’s fair or that you have to put up with it indefinitely. While keeping a minimum interaction with these individuals is a healthy boundary, it might also be time to think about how you can navigate these situations more strategically, without letting them affect your mental peace.

One approach could be to shift your focus from trying to understand why management might be biased to figuring out how you can position yourself better within the organization. Sometimes, it’s not about playing the same game as those toxic coworkers but about creating your own narrative. Instead of engaging with the drama, focus on building strong alliances with people who appreciate your work and values. Even if management seems biased, finding key people who recognize your worth can help you stay grounded and give you a sense of support.

At the same time, it’s crucial to recognize that you cannot control how others behave, but you can control how you respond. If you feel manipulated or undermined, documenting these situations can be helpful, especially if it ever escalates to a point where you need to defend yourself to HR or management.

Ultimately, it might also be worth reflecting on whether this work environment is the right fit for you long-term. Toxic environments can be exhausting, and if the culture consistently rewards those who engage in gossip and manipulation, it might not align with your values. Considering whether there are other opportunities within or outside the company where you feel more supported and respected could be an important step.

If staying in this environment is what you choose, focusing on your strengths, maintaining your professionalism, and seeking support from trusted colleagues can help you manage these challenges more effectively. You deserve to work in a place where your skills and contributions are recognized without needing to engage in toxic dynamics.

Hi Ashwini, I am a 29 yr old marketing executive, and I tend to take negative feedback very personally, even when it's constructive. For example, last month, my manager said my presentation was all over the place and lacked clarity. Though she meant it to help me improve, I kept replaying it in my mind for days and started doubting my abilities.

Ans: Dear Sir/ Madam,

As humans we bound to overthink and question back and self-doubt. It's important to process the emotions then accumulating.

Try this the next time you feel negative-

Firstly, negativity or any feeling is just an emotion and every emotion is giving you feedback so that you can take can action. So, it works like a feedback mechanism.
Now, in the above situation where your manager said the presentation was all over the place or lacked clarity- it meant you should present the same from his perspective or from the audience’s perspective. As the person who is going to see the presentation should be able to understand and be in the same alignment as you are.

Have a discussion with your manager and ask where all did, he/she feels the presentation lacked clarity, ask what else you should have looked at to make it more valuable etc.

Once you get the feedback go back to the presentation and relook from his/ her perspective now then possibly that would make sense to you.

Idea is to process the information and see how you can make it better. Self-doubt is ok to have as it will help you relook but if you are sulking in that emotion, it will spiral down which is what happens most often. So, the next time when you get negative feedback look at from a perspective of working on yourself to be even better.

If you were not good then you wouldn't be in that job in first place. Remember that.

Thanks
Ashwini

Jee 54 mhcet 31 hsc 76 Which college can i get admission for btech computer science engineering

Ans: Before addressing your query, I would strongly recommend taking a certified 'Psychometric Test' to help identify the most suitable career options for you. Since your performance in all three exams was relatively low, it's important to evaluate your strengths, interests, and aptitude carefully before deciding to pursue a BTech in Engineering, as the program can be academically demanding and may not be the right fit for everyone without proper alignment.

ANSWER to your question now: With a 31 percentile in MHT-CET, 54 percentile in JEE Main and 76 percent in HSC, admission to premier state-quota CSE programmes is unlikely, but the following Maharashtra institutes consistently close at or below the 30–35 percentile mark for Computer Science & Engineering, offering accredited AICTE-approved curricula, modern labs, experienced faculty, active placement cells (70–80 percent placement rates over three years) and strong industry linkages: Sinhgad College of Engineering, Vadgaon, Pune. JSPM Narhe Technical Campus, Narhe, Pune. Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering, Akurdi, Pune. Smt. Kashibai Navale College of Engineering, Kondhwa, Pune. PVG’s College of Engineering & Technology, Pune. MIT Academy of Engineering, Alandi, Pune. AISSMS Institute of Information Technology, Shivajinagar, Pune. Indira College of Engineering & Management, Tathawade, Pune. Rajarshi Shahu College of Engineering, Tathawade, Pune. Atharva College of Engineering, Malad West, Mumbai. Vidyalankar Institute of Technology, Wadala, Mumbai. Shah & Anchor Kutchhi Engineering College, Chembur, Mumbai. SIES Graduate School of Technology, Nerul, Navi Mumbai. Fr. Conceicao Rodrigues College of Engineering, Bandra West, Mumbai. Terna Engineering College, Nerul, Navi Mumbai.

recommendation: Prioritise Sinhgad College of Engineering Vadgaon for its balanced CSE curriculum, consistent 75 percent placement momentum and Pune’s industrial connections. Alternatively, choose JSPM Narhe Technical Campus for its robust internship pipelines, modern AI/ML labs and strong 70–80 percent placement consistency. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
