How TCS works Baiting freshers: CTC is very low. Fresher salary will be good, so when freshers get TCS job in campus placement, they take it without second thought. But after a couple of years, when you compare your salaries with your friends, 80% of the time the TCSer will have the lesser salary. Shady appraisals and promotions: Performance appraisals and promotions are entirely in the hands of managers. There in no transparency in the hikes and policies related to appraisals and promotions. Colleagues in the same team, who work less or equally and are less experienced, end up getting more salary just because you got a low performance rating years back when you were a fresher.

Subject: How come Electric Scooters/motorcycles aren´t a thing yet? Dear Elon Musk, I personally consider you one of my favourite persons through all time. Right up there with Nicola Tesla :). I wish you better success in your business adventures and you should feel free to use me if you think I can help in any way. You are a freedome-fighter of the highest level, and I wish you all the best in all of your endeavours! May you be blessed, always. I once read a tweet you wrote some time ago, where you used the term “How come ……. are´nt a thing yet”.. it stuck with me, although I don´t remember the subject :).

Dear Mark Zuckerberg, Please give me anywhere between the value of Kanye West's debt ($53m) and the amount he asked you for ($1bn) just to spite him. You may ask what I would do with it. I would certainly buy a new VR rig with at least one VR headset (you know which one) to go with it, and spend my time making hopefully awesome VR content. I used to spend a lot of time on personal projects such as https://youtu.be/l714RhwpA28, but since starting full-time work I have a lot less time for things like this. I hope you can agree that we would all rather see more VR content than more of Kanye's anything. Please consider my semi-serious request. Many thanks for reading, Simon White/ shwhjw.

A Message to Our Customers The United States government has demanded that Apple take an unprecedented step which threatens the security of our customers. We oppose this order, which has implications far beyond the legal case at hand. This moment calls for public discussion, and we want our customers and people around the country to understand what is at stake. The Need for Encryption Smartphones, led by iPhone, have become an essential part of our lives. People use them to store an incredible amount of personal information, from our private conversations to our photos, our music, our notes, our calendars and contacts, our financial information and health data, even where we have been and where we are going. All that information needs to be protected from hackers and criminals...
