On a side note: Not all corporate employees get to go on holidays. 
  
 Swiggy, Zomato, BlinkIt , Zepto almost every consumer facing company has 10-20 % employees "On call" due to high demand. Include Hotstar , Jio cinema too.  
  
 I spend all my holidays "on call". All major events Holi, Diwali, Christmas, New year's plus all the cricketing event IPL playoffs, Finals , IND vs Pak matches, World cups.

Even the Power sector employees don't get holidays.

Are only corporate majdur allowed holidays not the policeman- Grapevine

It felt like they didn't even consider Holi as a festival here, despite a lot of North Indian residing in the city. Weird :/

Why doesn't bangalore companies have an off on Holi?

Haryana, MP and Chhattisgarh have declared holidays for schools and government offices currently.
Do you think a further official notice from other states can be expected for corporates as well?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

We just received a message on our company  (Graphy by Unacademy) from our business head that, we should not come to him asking for 6-7 leave for Diwali. These are the employees who want to go back to there home town for the featival. Additionally he said that it is an optional holiday and we can ask for 2-3 days work from home max not more that that, and we should understand our business’s needs and remain focused on it. 
What should I do now I have to prioritise my family and going to my home town, like this I will have pressure from both ends, please pass on any advice.

Can’t celebrate Diwali now!

I was raised abroad and I always thought there’s something called annual leaves where you take PTO for a month apart from your sick / casual leaves. However I started working in India and damn when TF do people have time to do things apart from coming to office and getting burnt out?

Why do Indian companies have fuck all leave policies?

Assistant Manager

This is to bring into notice that we have been asked to work on Diwali day and following weekend just bcoz the client has planned sone data migration to production. Is it fair by company management to ask their resources to work on such festivals. People earn to celebrate such moments with family. Why can't they push a bit n do this the next weekend. We have been working long hours n weekends for the project already. But asking us to even work on Diwali is just too much. EY SERIOUSLY NEEDS A BETTER WORK CULTURE!!!

But isn’t that with newsrooms too? And a lot of blue collar roles and essential services? 
 Plus, businessmen and hawkers, or farmers don’t have offs. 
  
 Is corporate culture taking things a notch too high? 
  
 While toxic workplaces are condemnable, a friend pointed out and I do concur- people earning 4x the usual salary need to slog more, and some of them are fine with it. 
  
 If I wanted a relaxed life, I chose such a profession. Many of my friends have turned to freelancing. 
  
 Choose your hell. Complaining might not help!

Yes, we should all work 70 hours a week so shareholders can make 70 millions a week and then at the first sign of trouble they can lay off 700 employees a week 😂

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Happy almost Halloween! What have been your most horrific experiences at work? 

I’ll go first. My manager went on a week long holiday, all the while not replying to texts or calls and came back and yelled at me for going on without his approval :__

Job horror stories

I developed an API that basically took inputs from a webform and loaded it into Salesforce (I have oversimplified here).  
 While testing , one of the fields was "website", I simply typed "www.rk.com" which were the initials of my pet doggo. 
 The test went well, data got loaded into Salesforce. 
 I then get pinged by the multiple people that rk.com is a porn site and multiple people while verifying the test results ended up clicking on the link and got flagged by the IT security team for watching porn on office laptop🤣 . 
  
 It was an honest mistake nonetheless, but very horrifying for me🙈

Database Administrator

For context: Weekends are off. So just fri WFH. This is a Series B startup. I am not even asking for a leave but WFH for just 1 day. I joined recently. The only thing I did wrong was possibly informing a little too late.

Want to get opinion if I am overthinking or this classifies as toxic culture in startups where you are expected to push limits above and beyond regularly and sometimes weekends.

Is this toxic work culture or I am overthinking

Not a great culture, also you don’t have to give the actual reason, instead say due to some unavoidable work or family health reason you will need to wfh. Its a good way of seeing what kind of employer one is, when they also treat urgencies like that. Indians feel they need to give a detailed explanation as to why they deserve wfh or leave, whereas in international companies, you just have to inform the manager.
