Apparently the company is trying really hard to do damage control but the cat is out of the bag. They’ve been abhorrent in the way they conduct their company.
This is a tight slap to anyone who expects unreasonable working hours without fair compensation.
Story
On October 7th, their reporting manager set some alarming expectations right off the bat. The manager demanded unpaid overtime and excessive work hours beyond what's typically considered reasonable.
When the employee tried to establish healthy boundaries and bring up work-life balance, the manager's response was dismissive and mocking. He belittled these concepts as "fancy terms" and "Western developed nation behavior," implying they had no place in this work environment. The manager even ridiculed the employee's desire for personal time to read and exercise, treating these basic needs as mere excuses.
There's a significant difference between voluntarily putting in extra effort for your own passionate project versus being coerced into overwork by an established, profitable company.
What do you think about this?
I'm curious who will be offering him a job now. What he did might not be wrong but this kind of screenshotting company emails to direct public glare on the company doesn't bode well for him. If you are in a company's hr shoes, there is almost unlimited downside to hiring him.
I dont think so. These so called 'managers' think they can set unreasonable expectations, scold employees on their first day and get away with it then they need to be exposed and put in their place. It is one thing to professionally set expectations but belittling the people or calling names just because they asked about work life balance is not acceptable. I hope the manager learned their lesson.
On the contrary good companies will definitely give him a job. But he should have mentioned the name of the manager too. So that me and my contacts would have tagged him at linkedIn and named and shamed him. Need to clean the sht in the workplace.
Saw it on Reddit: “The Manager took it better than Bhavish Agarwal did.”
But it seems like Legal team might be responsible for that statement.
They also keep calling work life balance a western idea.... Like bc should we just work like a slave till death because we were born in this shithole.
High time we need to form a strong worker union for the corporate employees in india.
Yes, the stories coming though and the FMs idiotic comments point to a union. Thats the best way to protect interests of the people who are taxed and worked unfairly
So it’s barely been a month since I’ve joined this company and my manager has already started dumping his workload to me on weekends and at odd hours late in the night.
Now he’s not a horrible person but I hate how normalised this cult...
