Company ne bola hafte mein 3 din Gurgaon office aao. Main Noida mein rehta hoon. Ek hafte ka hisaab

Scene ye hai ki hamari company ne Noida wala chhota office band karke sab kuch Gurgaon (Cyber City) shift kar diya. Mail aaya: "To boost collaboration, all employees are expected in office 3 days a week." Main Sector 62 Noida mein rehta hoon. Toh ek hafta try kiya, honestly, bina complain kiye. Ye raha hisaab:

Route options

  • Metro: Sector 62 se Blue Line, Rajiv Chowk pe Yellow Line, phir Rapid Metro. Ek side lagbhag 1 ghanta 45 minute, do changes, aur shaam 6 baje Rajiv Chowk pe khud ko insaan feel karna mushkil hai
  • Car: DND, Ashram, phir NH48. Subah 8:30 nikla toh 1 ghanta 50 min. Shaam ko barish hui toh 2 ghanta 40 min. Hero Honda Chowk pe paani mein gaadi chalana ek alag skill hai
  • Cab: ek side 700-900, surge mein aur zyada. 3 din mein 5000 se upar

Hafte ka hisaab

  • 3 din x lagbhag 4.5 ghante = 13.5 ghante sirf aane jaane mein
  • Meri team ke 5 mein se 3 log Bangalore mein hain. Toh main Gurgaon jaake headphone lagake Bangalore walon se Teams call karta hoon. "Collaboration" 😂
  • Un 3 dino mein code kitna likha? Ghar ke 2 din se kam

Maine kya kiya

Gussa nahi kiya, data liya. Manager ko ek page bheja: commute time, office mein actually kaun milta hai, aur un 3 dino ka mera output. Proposal diya: 2 din office, wahi din jab Gurgaon wali team bhi aati hai, aur timing 11 se 8 taaki peak traffic na mile.

Manager maan gaya. HR ne thoda drama kiya par manager ne sambhal liya. Ab 2 din, 11 se 8. Commute ab ek side 1 ghanta 15 min. Jeena thoda aasan hai.

Lesson: RTO pe rona mat, numbers do. Manager ko bhi upar jawab dena hota hai, use data chahiye. Aapki company ka kya scene hai? 🙏

Arre bhai, I live in Gurgaon and even I don't want to go to Cyber City in monsoon. Hero Honda Chowk is a swimming pool from July to September. Jai hind 😂

Bengaluru checking in. Silk Board says hello. The 'go to office to do Teams calls with another city' thing is universal, we did a whole quarter of that.

Pune, Hinjewadi traffic bhau. 2 days is a good deal. Our company said 3 days and the badge swipe is tracked, a monthly report goes to the manager. Kay re, ye school hai kya

Noida to Gurgaon is not a commute, it is an inter-state journey. Literally UP to Haryana via Delhi. Your manager should be paying you a border allowance.

11 to 8 timing negotiation is the real lesson here. traffic is the same everywhere guru, only the timing saves you
