Hi Aamish, I am facing a bit of conflict at work. My manager doesn't support or value my contribution. I am working at least 1O to 12 hours every day, including 6 hours on weekends. The team head works remotely from Hyderabad and isn't aware of what is happening here. I was denied a promotion because the team head feels the manager is doing all the work. How should I deal with this? Please help
Ans: You’re in a frustrating position where your hard work is going unnoticed, and your manager is taking credit for your efforts. The long hours, lack of recognition, and unfair promotion decision make it clear that something needs to change. Instead of continuing to push yourself without results, it’s time to shift strategies.
First, document your contributions. Keep records of your work, emails, and any instances where you took the lead on tasks. If your team head is unaware of your contributions, find subtle ways to bring them to their attention. This could be through direct updates, taking initiative in meetings, or requesting feedback from other colleagues who can vouch for your efforts.
Next, consider addressing the issue professionally. Request a conversation with your manager and express your concerns about growth opportunities. Avoid sounding confrontational—instead, frame it as a discussion about your career path and how you can contribute more effectively. If that doesn’t work, try reaching out to HR or someone higher up who can provide guidance.
If the environment remains toxic and you feel undervalued despite your efforts, it may be time to explore other opportunities. Your skills and dedication deserve recognition, and if this company isn’t willing to provide that, another one will. The key is to remain proactive rather than stuck in frustration.

Having joined Infosys as a fresher myself, I understand how overwhelming the initial phase can be. The recent layoffs in Mysuru have raised concerns among the new recruits I mentor. They’re anxious about their future, even after receiving assurances. How can we, as senior colleagues, support these freshers and help them build the confidence to grow within the organisation despite the recent news?
Ans: Freshers entering the workforce often feel vulnerable, and recent layoffs only amplify their anxiety. While official reassurances help, they need real support from senior colleagues like you who understand their fears firsthand. The best way to help them is by creating a sense of stability and mentorship.
Start by acknowledging their concerns rather than dismissing them. Let them know that feeling anxious in uncertain times is normal but that their focus should be on skill-building rather than fear. Encourage them to upskill, take on challenging projects, and develop a strong professional network within the company. Sharing your own experiences—how you navigated uncertainty and built your career—can give them a sense of direction.
If possible, organize informal mentorship sessions where freshers can openly discuss their worries and seek guidance. The more they feel supported, the more confident they will be in their roles. Remind them that every company goes through fluctuations, and their best defense is becoming valuable employees who can adapt and grow despite external challenges.

I am working in a psu and getting around 80k monthly and my wife is working at tata steel and getting around 60k. We both live in different cities around 330km away. My child who is 3.5 yrs old stays with my wife. At present my wife is having a backache. Along with houshold chore and job , she found it very difficult to manage , hence she wants to resign from job. Everybody out there who is listening this giving a red flag. I as a husband supporting her decision but i have fear that in future if regrets about her decision then what will happen. As a husband what should i do. She jas the opinion that after resign i wll do something onilne course and start something. In this scenario what I should prioritise?
Ans: It’s natural to worry about your wife’s future regrets, but the key here is to focus on her immediate well-being. Managing a job, a household, and a child while dealing with back pain is a lot to handle, and if she feels resigning is the best option, supporting her is the right thing to do. However, rather than seeing this as an end to her career, help her frame it as a transition.
Have an open conversation about her long-term plans. If she wants to do an online course and start something new, encourage her to research options before resigning so that she has a clear path forward. Financially, your combined income is strong, but it’s still important to plan for stability. Instead of rushing into a resignation, she could consider options like taking a temporary break, exploring remote work, or reducing work hours before making a final decision.
Your role as a husband is to support her without letting fear cloud your judgment. Trust that she is making the best decision for herself right now. At the same time, ensure that she is thinking ahead so that she doesn’t feel lost once she steps away from her job. By balancing emotional support with practical planning, you can help her transition smoothly without future regrets.

I'm the single child of my parents, I'm catholic christian and my boyfriend is hindu. They are concerned about society, religion and future generation religion will be changed. I love him so much and my family so much. If I leave my parents for my love they will get into trouble as there are no one to console them and if I leave my love , I didn't lead a happy life...struck between these....
Ans: You’re in a difficult position where choosing either side feels like a loss. Your parents are worried about religion, society, and the future of your family, while you are caught between your love for them and your partner. It’s understandable to feel torn, but the key here is finding a way to make them see that this isn’t about choosing one over the other—it’s about creating a life where both can exist.
Your parents’ fears likely stem from societal pressure and uncertainty about how an interfaith marriage will work. Instead of confronting them with frustration, approach them with empathy. Let them know that you respect their concerns but also need them to respect your happiness. Help them see that love and faith are not mutually exclusive, and that you’re committed to finding a way to honor both traditions.
It might take time for them to come around, and they may initially hold on to the idea that you should choose. During this period, keep showing them that you’re still the same person who values them deeply. Over time, consistent love and understanding can help bridge the gap. If they remain firm, the choice ultimately comes down to what will make you happiest in the long run. But before reaching that point, exhaust every effort to help them see your perspective.

My parents are friendly and supportive as I'm the single child. But , after telling about my interreligious love they hate me, we did everything for you then why don't think of us?...Actually , I love my parents that means to not love someone? I love my boyfriend as well , the problem is religion difference between us, what society say, religion force on future child, etc etc....they even said to choose between two.... I need both my parents and love.... But my parents care about religion... how to convince them?
Ans: You’re in a tough emotional situation where you love both your parents and your partner, but your parents see this as a conflict. Their reaction is driven by deep-seated beliefs about religion, societal expectations, and the future of your family. Right now, they see your love as a threat to their values rather than an expansion of family bonds. Instead of reacting emotionally or feeling trapped, try to approach the situation with patience and understanding.
Start by acknowledging their fears instead of dismissing them. Let them express their concerns, and in return, calmly share your perspective. Reassure them that loving someone from another faith doesn’t mean you are abandoning them or your roots. If they worry about society, show them examples of successful interfaith marriages where both partners have managed to respect each other’s traditions. Address the topic of future children with sensitivity—explain that faith can be a personal choice and that raising children with exposure to both religions can be enriching rather than confusing.
Change takes time, and their resistance is likely coming from fear rather than hatred. Continue to express love and gratitude toward them while standing firm in your decision. If possible, involve a family member, religious elder, or counselor they respect, as an external perspective can sometimes help ease their concerns. Stay patient, and remember that acceptance often comes gradually.
