Even Google via AI is showing growing death rates for IT professionals. After the death of an EY employee why is the IT industry silent? Why is Bangalore silent when Ministers mentioned 70 hrs work?

Are we waiting for more deaths for the candle march? When in open forums people in India are treated as donkeys for work why are they so silent?

Candle march in future for death of another professional?

Candle march in future for death of another professional?- Grapevine

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

Sometimes, instead of chasing after these high-profile companies, it's better to find contentment in a mediocre company that does a good job and truly values its employees. I feel awful reading this. No one should ever have to face such a situation.

It’s high time that big 4 and other firms start recognising the importance of actual working hours!

When do we normalise to prioritise health?

Doctors come together and protest for a crime, their unity makes a deaf CM answerable, whole India sees them, support them. Now the question is, will CAs or the whole finance community come together to protest?

This is truly truly heartbreaking to hear.

McKinsey consultant commits suicide due to work pressure :(

The fact that Mck tried to cover up its name in investigation is sad

A letter from the colleague of lady who died. This seems to be ultimate toxicity

EY Toxicity seems to be at the next level

I had an offer from EY and ai choose to not go with them . They had 3 months notice period which got revealed only after offer issuance and no great hike. That HR git very angry when I denied offer and told me they will block me if they don’t join . I asked them If I don’t want to join now why would join in future . I think I dodged a bullet All this big 4 is crap only

Software Project Manager

Growth Manager

As per internal company sources: This is big like 500+, lots of folks cut in platform teams, brand teams, marketing teams, business teams, product and tech. Wish everyone there all the best. This shall too pass!

Sad reality. Anyone from EY here know about this? Any such examples of such toxic work culture at your workplace?

EY employee dies - company apathy

New India: Work life is becoming death trap

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

What is wrong with the world? Why do thinks like these happen?

2 months down, people have forgotten about McKinsey Consultant's death...

The curse of the reels/shorts/notifications every 5 minutes age... 
Nothing lasts for more than 2-3 days 

We're fucked

Analyst

The economy went down? Yes. Did it affect all kinds of companies? Yes

Did the banks fire any one? No 
Did the Railways fire anyone? No 
Did the media agencies fire anyone? No 

Did Large Tech companies and IT fire people? Absolutely yes 

Tech is the most ruthless-stupid sector that is so flimsy and short sighted that it doesn't care jack-shit about employees

Tech companies will pay employees large salaries in a heartbeat, they'll hire 1000s of them and then fire 100s of them in a heartbeat destroying careers. 

Sigh!

Tech has failed to be a good employer; Layoffs are just one example

Not the way it works. 
It's a function of how fast an industry grows -> The faster it is, the more you have to hire in advance, because you know if the pace continues, you'll need as many. 

Railways needs 5K people this year, they need 5K next year
Google needs 5K people, they need 7.5K next year (if things continue) 
At startup needs 500 people today, it needs 2000 next year (if pace continues) 

So when the pace does not continue, the impact is equally drastic.
Startup fires 25-30%
Google fires 5-10%
Railway fires no one.

With big corporate giants like Google, Apple, Bain, Tesla, Amazon etc. laying off staff in the name of cost reduction, automation&innovation and restructuring while at the same time tech companies like Accenture not awarding any yearly hikes to professionals for 2 consecutive years now, where do you see the IT/Tech/Consulting industry heading towards in next couple years down the line? By when is the market expected to revive? Which companies are still committed to ensuring job security along with high pay standards or is that a thing of the past? Please enlighten me😊

Layoffs everywhere?

Just thinking. It’s weird how less importance is given to making physical things happen in the world around us.

Quick question, are fields other than software, finance, design so much more important than others such as mechanical, civil, electrical; that they don’t even warrant a section on any platform for discussion?

This is sad.

Govt is silent on anything except for Hindutva, Pakistan and Nehru

Layoffs in Indian IT firms over last one year

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I want to talk about everything wrong about work culture in India. 

Anna was a bright and hardworking individual who started at EY in March 2024 after passing her CA exams. Like many of us, she believed that hard work, dedication, and perseverance were the keys to success. But the crushing workload, the long hours, and the relentless pressure took an unimaginable toll on her physical and mental health. 

Despite reaching out for help, Anna's concerns were met with dismissive responses like, "You can work at night, that's what we all do." Her manager encouraged her to stay on despite the growing toll, asking her to "change everyone’s opinion about the team." When her family urged her to quit, she refused, determined to learn and grow. But ultimately our system glorifies overwork. 

And to make matters worse, no one from EY attended her funeral.

Let that sink in: a young woman who gave her all for this company was not even acknowledged at her final goodbye.

This is not just about Anna. It's about a work culture that has gone unchecked for far too long. A culture that prioritizes deadlines, profits, and productivity over the health and safety of its employees. EY, and companies like it, must take accountability for the lives of the people they employ.

Enough is enough. No job should come at the cost of one’s mental or physical well-being. 

We need change now. RIP Anna 💔
