Tania, no one will eat you’’, to which everyone laughed. She was extremely
embarrassed and wanted to leave immediately.

always be quiet during internal meetings. His team members would not have any
idea regarding what Srinivas did every month. Srinivas thought that his numbers
and work would speak for itself. But his boss knew that his quiet and shy
demeanour would pose a problem for his career. His boss told him that he
needed to be more confident and speak up during meetings.
