it all started two years ago when I joined a new company in Whitefield, Bangalore. My team was working in the maintenance and enhancement project and the developers had to work in shifts on a rotation basis.

As I was not originally hired for development, I didn’t work in shifts but one day I had to work as the team members were on leave during the festival season.

It is generally two people and the other person was a married lady in her early thirties. Her name was Anupama. She was very fair looking and had a decent figure. Not so huge boobs and ass.

As I used to sit on a different floor, we never had much interaction apart from the obligatory official events and team meetings. The night shift was from 3 pm – 4 am.

As there won’t be anyone on my floor, I sat near her desk so I won’t feel like a ghost working alone in the huge office. I had some work to finish before 7 pm and after that, I was pretty much jobless. There were not many tickets and the ones raised were also easy to solve.

I was bored and went near Anupama’s desk to have a conversation. I started by asking about how things were going regarding work, night-shift workload, etc. She had some questions too. I helped her solve the tickets and we both went for dinner.

We started talking about personal stuff and I came to know she was also from Karnataka. So, we started talking in Kannada. She said that she joined this company as a fresher and she had been working here since then.

Anupama got married 6 years ago and has a 4-year-old k**. Her daughter was with her grandparents and she mostly works in the night shift as her husband was also working for a US company in the night shift.

We were talking about hobbies and general stuff. I also helped her solve most of the incidents.

The next day after dinner she was facing difficulties in solving similar issues which I explained to her the previous day. This time I explained to her in detail and let her take notes and made her solve the issues herself.

Anupama was doing fine while I was sitting next to her but when I started doing my own work, she was again back to where she was. She was making stupid mistakes and asking silly questions to customers. This pissed me off and the next day, I asked her to ask me for any information before asking the customer.

I showed her where to fetch the information but as she was repeatedly asking silly questions, I raised my voice and scolded for her incompetence in doing simple stuff. Later I felt bad and bought her a bar of chocolate and said sorry.

It was a health insurance project and we used to get weekly summary files. But because of a feature release, she deleted all the files! If there was a mismatch, the claims and weekly summary file and all the jobs done during the weekend would fail and it will be messy and time-consuming to fix.
