...I stumbled upon this page[^] with some amazing autumn shots. There are even a couple of pictures of a weird light house in Michigan...
I love autumn!

That's the only thing I miss living in the south is the change of season i.e. colors, but I hate cold weather so it's a tradeoff.

Not sure why, but chrome thought I was offline (for almost 15 seconds!  ) and presented me with a silly time waster[^] while I waited.
Don't know what my final score was, as it automatically loaded the page I was heading to.

Somebody Save Me - Part 1[^]
Released a version of the application to user. Users have commented to the delivery manager "Application is far from usable".
I have kept my words minimum in all the mails exchanged with delivery manager and in the meetings. Senior Manager calls me to the meeting room and says "You are not performing". Ah, I was shocked. If my emails and talking would solve the customers problem then i would certainly do that. I don't know what to do so i sent a email to HR
"This is to kindly inform that i'm resigning from the post of ...... Thank you for giving me this opportunity."
OK....I started surfing the job sites and searching for the next job... 3 days latter i managed to get a interview call....and i attended the interview today
The first question pops up ... Are you not working at the moment? What were you doing for the last 2 months? some rambling around these question and after couple of questions i said I was with a company for few weeks, I was not happy with the role and the manager is not happy with my performance and user is not happy with the application...So I resigned...
then the next set of question pops up... Do you have the relieving letter and pay slips from the previous org? What was your previous salary? What kind of role are you looking for? And then they asked me to tell the whole career story of each job and reason for change to figure out what exactly I'm looking for.

I just wanted to say I'm sorry you are going through this. I have worked in IT industry for over 20 years now in various roles as I worked toward being a software dev. I've been a software dev for about 14 years now and I've worked numerous jobs. One with a senior developer who literally stayed up too late playing guitar video game and was prone to outbursts of raging screaming. Terrible.
Anyway, I've worked at extremely large corps and small shops and something like 10 different places now. Some places lived out Dilbert and others lived out The Office (American version).
Out of all of those, just this last one even seems sane. Good luck to you. I hope it works out best for you.

Never, ever say that to anyone at an interview: why would they hire somebody where they are not happy with your performance and the user was not happy with the application?
Come up with something better!

Exactly, there are sites, I'm sure, that have stock (non-negative) answers to such questions. If you have nothing good to say, then keep quiet, as my old man would say.

I used to work for a company that had a very unhealthy work environment where others used to verbally abuse me. Many other workers like to play "alpha male" which I don't like participating in. Did some job searching and found a wonderful company. Putting in my 2 weeks felt like hitting the lottery. I was so incredibly happy to leave that job.
Keep your head up and know that do your best no matter what situation you come across. If you feel that the company is not helping you to reach your potential then that might be sign to move on.
I agree with others by not stating in interviews that people were not satisfied with your work. It sends the wrong signals.
Best of luck to you.

When a company wants to know your salary history right off the bat, it's their way of trying to screw you over. They already have a budget in mind for what they're willing to pay for the role. If they don't use budgets then they won't be in business long. So the number is in their head already, unless it's a mom and pop shop that has no clue what's going on.
Anyway, it's their way of seeing what you're used to getting paid so they can see how little they can get you for. So, unless they demand you answer the question, just don't. Unless you really, really need a job ASAP.

I live in a country where recruiters or company do not call for interview with out collecting the following details. Let me put it in exact terms
current CTC
expected CTC
Notice period
I'm ok with 2nd and 3rd which is needed for hiring. I dont know Why someone want to know the current CTC. It's a confidential information between me and the company. Not only they ask for this detail but also they ask for copy of salary slips as evidence. Not sure if there is any other business reason behind this.

Tell them you signed a nondisclosure agreement with the company restricting you from giving out company confidential information.
Tell them that they can trust you not to disclose their company confidential information to anyone after signing a nondisclosure agreement with them.
Smile when you say that.

I would agree with you but then we both would be wrong.

I went to a Cars & Coffee event (early morning get together of car enthusiasts) in Austin on Sunday, and one of the event staff members caught my arrival on video:

That wasn't me, I passed him (that black car) a few minutes before that.
