I am coming across lots of posts across various social media sites by the HR Heads and other senior functionaries of various organisations that talk about various feel good things - up skilling and learning new skills, team spirit, camaraderie, accepting challenges, voluntarily accepting higher/ extra responsibilities, career planning et al. To my mind, this onrush in posting such articles could be to counter the negative employee sentiments arising out of work pressure, toxic work culture and a general apathy of the employees in light of “ none too friendly” HR policies.
However, whether the employees truly believe what their HR Heads and other senior managers are conveying through these posts and is aligned to the actual work culture obtaining at these organisations is a matter that could be put to doubt.
The above hit my sensibilities strongly when I came across a beautiful short poem by William Shakespeare that reads:
You say you love rain,
But you open umbrella.
You say you love the Sun,
But you find a shadow spot.
You say you love wind,
But you close your windows.
This is why I am afraid,
When you say you love me.
Nothing more needs to be said as the poem conveys everything with unusual subtlety.
This is a question young Omar asks every morning, with hungry eyes and a hoarse voice from crying, in a heart-rending scene.
It's not a casual question; it's the cry of pain of a hungry child… and a cry for help from the heart of stricken Gaza.
The Hashem family, like thousands of families in Gaza, lives a daily tragedy in order to feed their infant.
Today, obtaining a carton of baby formula has become a distant dream, its price having become unaffordable for families who have lost their homes and sources of income due to the siege and destruction.
Hashem, the grieving father, goes out every day in search of milk… roaming the streets and pharmacies, returning each time with empty hands and a heart heavy with helplessness.
In his home, a helpless mother weeps silently, and a child who will not stop crying from extreme hunger.
This is not a scene from a movie; it is the harsh reality of a besieged people, in a world from which milk has disappeared… and with it, compassion.
🚨 More than 66 children in Gaza died of malnutrition after Israel closed the crossings and prevented the entry of milk and essential food supplies.
Hello everyone, I hope you take a minute to read our story.
I’m Hashem Al-S… Hashim Friend needs your support for Help my family survive an
A single carton of milk could save a life.
Don't underestimate the impact you can have.
Share the Hashem family's story… Save Gaza's children from a slow death.
My friends, this is all that remains of my warm, safe, beautiful house, where we had many memories and where we used to gather as a happy family, but the occupation robbed us of the memories and the warm and safe shelter. When I saw the house, I became depressed and frustrated. Where will we go? Will we stay sleeping in the street? My heart is torn from sadness over what happened. I saw, my friend, you are reading my story. Put yourself in my position and imagine the extent of frustration and despair I am experiencing now. My heart is broken and torn. Help me, my friend, to donate so that we can build Construction is very expensive and I can barely provide food for my family. Help me save my family

Hard work amidst the accumulated destruction. We try to find some clothes to warm us in the bitter cold or a blanket to warm us when sleeping, but unfortunately we could not find anything. Here we are working and we have not eaten for two days because we did not receive donations. We can buy food from donations. Help me, my friend, by sending a donation to me and my family to buy the necessary food and medicine and buy clothes that cover us and warm us and provide a few simple means of life so that we can live with the bad situation. Imagine my situation, my friend, and help me as much as you can.

I miraculously escaped death because I was in this place when they killed these innocent people. Imagine what we are living. I was going to search for food for my family and I almost died. Death is crazy and terrifying everywhere. Help me to stay alive. All I want from this life is to live in peace and security.
My friend, help me with your donation to save my family's life. Save me. Donate as much as you can. My family is dying.
Save me and my family from death. The occupation is throwing papers wanting us to evacuate the place and I do not have enough money to leave. Help me evacuate my family and buy a tent. My life is in your hands. Save me.If you send $100 or whatever you can donate it will help me evacuate my family. Evacuation is very expensive. I need you by my side, my friend. Please.

It has been two days since my family has eaten. My family relies on donations to buy the food that keeps us alive. Help me donate to save my family from starvation.

This is the situation we've reached. I'm searching through the rubble of my home for anything to eat. Luckily, I found a piece of bread buried in the rubble and couldn't control myself until I ate it. My family and I haven't eaten for three days due to extreme hunger. I'm tying a stone to my stomach because my intestines are tearing apart from hunger. Your donation is the least you can do to save my family from starvation. We are very hungry. Today is the third day that we haven't eaten anything.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔🥺🥺😔😔
