Let's collectively build a happier workplace first - productivity will always follow. Exactly. Be extremely careful while booking cabs on Ola or Uber. Their golden days are long gone, and right now they are just trying to survive by fleecing as much as they can before pulling the plug. Avoid the cab services completely if possible (use local alternatives), so that they can go out of business in peace, soon. Read the incident below carefully *and* the comments where others are narrating their own similar ordeals as well. Book an Ola/Uber only if you are totally willing to pay a sudden charge of Rs.20000 for a Rs.200 ride, with zero customer support for it's mitigation once paid.

And the year that went by has given me even more reasons to continue doing so. The way we as an organization have come together in this global pandemic is nothing less than exemplary. One of our core values we live by is "empathy" - one that extends way beyond our customers and business, and starts right at the workplace itself. It is the way we understand, empathize, and support each other in good times and bad - be it at the interpersonal, organization, or global stage. And it is that fundamental tenet of our core values which has kept us going strong in this crisis. While standing firmly with each other, we have also lent a supporting hand for rest of the world, to tide across the pandemic. The year spent here has given me fresh perspectives towards how we conduct ourselves both at the workplace & outside of it. How Diversity & Inclusion are never an afterthought, but are firmly woven into the fabric of our culture. How an entire business runs on trust, and how empathizing with our customers and ourselves helps us grow - as a business and as better human beings. Proud to be part of this transformation. Proud of this culture. Proud to be Microsoft. #empathy #microsoftlife Leaders need to lead with purpose now more than ever.
