Bengaluru Professor Resigns After Salary Hike Request Goes Unanswered https://ift.tt/oGVPd3O A 37-year-old Assistant Professor recently opened up about his unfair work experience at an engineering college in Bengaluru. Taking to LinkedIn, the professor claimed that despite dedicating 10 years to the institution and receiving positive feedback from his students, his request for a salary hike was never approved. "I did everything and I never said no any job assigned," he wrote. Disheartened by this lack of support, the 37-year-old said that he resigned from the job but was also surprised when no one from the college attempted to stop him. "Hi 37M from Bengaluru. I was working as an Assistant Professor in one of the engineering colleges in East Bangalore. I was here from past 10 years. Everything was normal untill 2019. The new principal who joined in 2019 closed 3 branches in our college. I did everything and I never said no any job assigned, but my request to increase salary was never approved," the professor wrote. "Students were happy with my teaching. I received consistently excellent feedback from my students. I was helping students with hackathons and competitions. Many a times I paid entry fee from my pocket for many competitions. During NBA and NAAC accreditation, I use to stay till 8-9 PM in the evening. We worked on Sundays too," he added. Resigned from my job. byu/SquashImmediate6693 inbangalore The 37-year-old said that despite his best efforts, his request for a salary hike was never approved by the new principal. He also claimed that junior teachers were getting paid more than him. "I was clueless. I couldn't understand what mistake I was doing. Entire college knew what I was doing but our principal was not ready to acknowledge it," he wrote. The professor further said that he met the college's principal to discuss before resigning, however, he "was not ready to discuss anything" with him in the absence of the head of the department (HOD). "This HOD always supported 3-4 faculty and he was delegating difficult tasks to rest of us. I was fed up with this system and resigned recently. Nobody asked why I was resigning and nobody asked me to stay!" he wrote. At the end of the post, the professor alleged that he was not paid any EPF (employee provident fund) after the salary structure changed suddenly. "DA was reduced from 115% to 30% and the remaining 85% was added to other allowances. This reduces my gratuity by at least 50%!", he said.

Ask in the Legal India sub about your options." "Teachers in all levels of the education sector are overworked with little to no compensation. The fact is we are replaceable, institutions do not care about your quality of teaching. They know they can replace you with a cheaper option," said another. "This is injustice.

This festival consists of an earthen pot (handi) hung at a height, filled with ghee, sweets, almonds, dahi and butter (makhan).

US School Assignment Asking Students If God Is Real Sparks Uproar Online https://ift.tt/XRkLCrg A homework assignment given to high school students in the US has ignited uproar online after a concerned parent shared a photo of the questions a teacher wanted the child to answer, including "Is God read?"

The assignment - titled "How did the world start?" - ended with two questions that raised concerns: "Is God real?" and "Is Satan real?" "This is a real assignment for a high school class on Oklahoma. This is one of Nettie's assignments for World History class. It's being called a research paper. This is some crazy shit overall and also on a technical level. Literally the kid had been in school ONE WEEK," Ms Gray wrote while sharing the picture of the assignment. Take a look below: Ms Gray shared the post a few days back. Since then, it has accumulated more than 375 likes and nearly 500 shares. Many reacted to the assignment in the comments section. "I could understand questions on world religions in World History class that may include Christianity as well as other religions but this is just plain weird and wrong. How would this even be graded fairly?" wrote one user. "This is insane. What sources is she supposed to use? I'm a teacher--and a challenging one. I have no trouble with a high school student (or even an upper middle school student) starting a research paper week one. But this assignment is absolutely wack.

The woman, who claims to reside with her partner, went into great detail in a Reddit post about their disagreement. According to the original poster, she is a "female with longer thick hair" who was having a "full body shower" in which she was "washing my body, my face, conditioning my hair, shaving all of it." She claimed that her spouse had "lost their sh** over how long I'd been in the shower." She wrote, "My partner lost their sh** over how long I'd been in the shower. I am a female with longer thick hair, and I was doing what some refer to as a full body shower - washing, conditioning hair, shaving all, washing my body, my face, and then got out. My partner said they were running the sink for as long as I was in the shower and asked if I noticed how much water was wasted then. I asked how I'd be able to hear that run while I was in the shower. 'Exactly.' followed by other things." "I added the songs I listened to while in the shower to their own playlist, totaled 26 minutes," she continued on Reddit. She explained that she takes this lengthy shower once every 3-4 days. The woman added, "I don't shower every day (because I work from home), but if I do - I'm under 10 minutes with body washed and hair shampooed for a regular wash." Since being shared, her post has amassed over 10,000 reactions. "He thinks you're the AH for wasting water but he kept the water running for the entire time? Worst. Water. Policing. Ever," a user said. Another wrote, "I'm still confused as to how he thought that proved his point." "NO bc if I'm shaving and washing everything my hubby EXPECTS me to be in there for at least 45 minutes. I just asked him and he said "45 to an hour" bc my normal showers of just washing my hair and body take 15-30 minutes," another added. A person remarked, "Exactly. A shower on a non-hair washing day is about 10-15 minutes for me. Washing body and hair? 25-30 minutes. 45 minutes or so for everything + shaving. He's out of his mind." "I'm a dude with long curly thick hair, don't shave anything, and can still crank out a 30 minute shower just focused on hair care! Man's an idiot," said a person. A Reddit user said, "Your partner intentionally wasted water to 'teach you a lesson', This is one scary logic, and two if you don't pay the water bill really really dumb. If you do pay the water bill, I'd ask them to compensate you for wasting water." https://ift.tt/Gb0I6nF August 25, 2024 at 07:43AM NDTV News-Offbeat https://www.ndtv.com
A woman's story has become viral after she said that her partner accused her of wasting water during a 26-minute shower. The woman, who claims to reside with her partner, went into great detail in a Reddit post about their disagreement.
According to the original poster, she is a "female with longer thick hair" who was having a "full body shower" in which she was "washing my body, my face, conditioning my hair, shaving all of it." She claimed that her spouse had "lost their sh** over how long I'd been in the shower."
She wrote, "My partner lost their sh** over how long I'd been in the shower. I am a female with longer thick hair, and I was doing what some refer to as a full body shower - washing, conditioning hair, shaving all, washing my body, my face, and then got out. My partner said they were running the sink for as long as I was in the shower and asked if I noticed how much water was wasted then. I asked how I'd be able to hear that run while I was in the shower. 'Exactly.' followed by other things."
"I added the songs I listened to while in the shower to their own playlist, totaled 26 minutes," she continued on Reddit.
She explained that she takes this lengthy shower once every 3-4 days. The woman added, "I don't shower every day (because I work from home), but if I do - I'm under 10 minutes with body washed and hair shampooed for a regular wash."
Since being shared, her post has amassed over 10,000 reactions.
"He thinks you're the AH for wasting water but he kept the water running for the entire time? Worst. Water. Policing. Ever," a user said.
Another wrote, "I'm still confused as to how he thought that proved his point."
"NO bc if I'm shaving and washing everything my hubby EXPECTS me to be in there for at least 45 minutes. I just asked him and he said "45 to an hour" bc my normal showers of just washing my hair and body take 15-30 minutes," another added.
A person remarked, "Exactly. A shower on a non-hair washing day is about 10-15 minutes for me. Washing body and hair? 25-30 minutes. 45 minutes or so for everything + shaving. He's out of his mind."
