Flipkart Offers Rs 1.5 lakh Compensation To IIM-A Students on Differ Joining Date

IIM-Ahmedabad and Flipkart were locked in a face-off on Thursday with the e-commerce major refusing to honour its job commitment to students of the prestigious institute until December, as against June promised earlier, but offered a compensation for the intervening period.

IIM-A placement committee chairperson Asha Kaul said the company is firm on its earlier stand that students can only join in December rather than June and for that new hires will be paid a compensation of Rs 1.5 lakh each.

There is Something Extraordinary Happening in The World

Most of us haven’t quite realized there is something extraordinary happening. A few months ago I freed myself from standard-procedure society, I broke the chains of fear that kept me locked up into the system. Since then, I see the world from a different perspective: the one that everything is going through change and that most of us are unware of that. Why is the world changing? In this post I’ll point out the 8 reasons that lead me to believe it. 1- No one can stand the employment model any longer We are reaching our limits. People working with big corporations can’t stand their jobs. The lack of purpose knocks on your door as if it came from inside you like a yell of despair. People want out.

The project was shared by a programmer named Nihad Abbasov (known as “Narkoz” on GitHub). It consists of a bunch of software scripts with some funny names. Narkoz says that the scripts came from one of his coworkers who left for another company, the type of guy that, “if something — anything — requires more than 90 seconds of his time, he writes a script to automate that.” After the guy left for a new job, his former co-workers were looking through his work and discovered that the guy had automated all sorts of crazy things, including parts of his job, his relationships and making coffee. The guy wrote one script that sends a text messa...
