30 lakhs severance package, happily shared between impacted Employee and honourable FM Nirmala Sitaraman.

Employer will all the hard word tragically takes 20 lakhs from the pot while Nirmala Sitaraman Madam takes a modest cut of 10 lakhs only.

1. Nehru Outer Ring Road. Fortunately everyone calls this as ORR & many have forgotten Nehru.

2. Rajiv Gandhi Cricket Stadium (Visakha Industries paid for its name to be included but later changed)

3. Rajiv Gandhi International airport for insulting a Telugu Bidda CM in the old Begumpet airport.

Every time pilot announces when I land in the strip I ask what did Rajiv Gandhi do to deserve his name in this amazing airport.

Even if they weren't unanimous, 2 out of 3 saying ok is enough. It's sad that one Constitution branch has carte blanche to endlessly put other branches in the dock. For what?

Indian leftists are celebrating Lula's win like it's Modi's defeat. And then they wonder why they are increasingly irrelevant. Tomorrow Lula will thank Modi and call him 'My dear friend' and all this jubilation will evaporate.

So Gurugram metro is now under PMO monitoring due to delays, cost escalation and coordination challenges between many agencies.

the craziest number in Anthropic’s IPO filing isn’t the revenue

it’s 900% net revenue retention

companies that paid them $100 last year are paying ~$900 now

"Frenchman" dares the Japanese to defend themselves without using "black, monkey, or Muslim."

The Japanese: "There’s a word called 'nigger,' right?"

If a white candidate signed a letter in support of the KKK 15 years ago, we would 100% demand answers.

[Ganesh Sonawane @ganeshsonawane]

It is a very Indian way of negotiating to start from one extreme and try to settle somewhere in the middle. Like they know if they ask for 5, Prakash will likely offer 3.

My experience has been to always show that you are not rattled, calmly explain your POV and make an offer you think is reasonable.

So many dozens of times, I have seen people come down 80%+ from their initial demands and settle at a fraction of the initial ask by the time the deal is done.

Nobody "knocked down an elephant". These hagiographic incidents are all made up and ridiculously comical.

[Gergely Orosz @GergelyOrosz]

On one end, this is tough to see: MSFT has been one of the most stable Big Tech employers. Clearly, layoffs, unfortunately, glooming.

On the other: letting people DECIDE to take a package now, vs wait for the axe to drop is a far more considerate approach.

Why are libs so invested in this idea that you can't call shithole countries shitholes

[श्रीN @freetimethinker]

If I'm not wrong, @siddaramaiah did his entire education, starting from primary to law in institutions built by Wodeyars.

But the moment he became CM, tried to acquire Blr palace land for road expansion without adequate compensation.

Indeed, no good deed ever goes unpunished.

Microsoft is offering voluntary buyouts to around 60,000 employees across major divisions, including Copilot, Xbox and Windows, Business Insider
reported on October 26, as the technology giant expands an earlier voluntary exit program.
The company did not immediately confirm the number of employees affected by the offer.

[Akshay Sharma @the_motonomad]

Stupidest shit to exist.
A vehicle purchased in Feb 2020, with valid insurance, tax paid for 15 yr and valid PUC is not allowed to use public roads because we have incompetent bafoons running the country.

[Omar Abbas Hyat | ഒമർ അബ്ബാസ് @OmarAbbasHyat]

I would hate to break it to Indian LeLis. Western and South American populists see Modi as a blueprint, not an adversary, let alone an ideological adversary.

[Forging India @indiaemerges]

Can we just get every single future VB built by the private sector now? Would speed up the rollout, quality of the build will be better and the trains will have a longer lifetime.

Technical deficiencies included 'poor functioning of the Driver Display Unit (DDU) touchscreen, concerns over the electrical fault tracing system and an unsecured protective cover for the fire extinguisher'

[ian @hypergameme]

Humans are social creatures, and they correctly view a $3 charge for sauce as a sort of metering (otherwise known as nickel and diming) them for the singular experience they’ve budgeted for (going to a steakhouse) management often fails to understand the actual PRODUCT they sell.

[Jake Halloran @jakehalloran1]

lol at microsoft putting in the newspaper that anyone that they let take the buyout sucks
