Given the ongoings on work life/health balance etc- as a people manager what are the lines you draw to maintain the health of your team?

How do you define work life balance boundaries at work? Everyone in my team works 10-12 hrs daily, it’s business as usual for them. I joined recently and it’s very problematic for me, I literally get no time to do anything else. I fear, that if I highlight this I’ll be singled out. Some people even feel very proud in doing so which I don’t understand. Don’t they want to go back home to their family and spend time with them? Please provide guidance on how to set these boundaries and am I thinking right?

I don't know what a good work life balance is in India. Please tell me what working hours are

How do i convince my manager to get release from current project if it is giving me mental pressure?

I see a lot of posts about WLB, I want to know what do you consider as a decent WLB. I will go first. 1. Leave early if the work for that day is done 2. No pings and calls post work hours, there are always exceptions and thats okay, should not become a norm 3. Respecting when someone is in vacation and not disturbing them. 4. Not rejecting leaves I will add more in comments If more comes to my mind.

What are some of the questions related to labour law in India that you always wanted to know (probably something that your HR may not explicitly tell you) - Ask here!

Seen many reviews about companies having a good or bad WLB. As a fresher, I would love to know what experienced people consider a good work life balance and how important it is while judging a company? Any other factors to consider?

Manager seems to give more work when I complete the assigned task in a short period. Should I do work at the pace of others in the team who work at normal pace or continue with the very fast pace. How to escape this deadlock. Btw, I try to be fast paced in my work to maintain WLB and have some me time. Advise/Opinions please.

One of the old employees dropped a bomb of an e-mail against the entire leadership of PhonePe Mass Offline leadership addressing about mental harassment, hostile comments, threatening to sack, and pushing employees to have no work life balance. This mail was sent to the Founder Sameer Nigam and the HR Head.

I had this doubt, let’s say team wants to go above and beyond work hours weekends to get shit done when it’s honestly not even required. I do whatever is given within work hours and deliver! Things might take longer since I don’t slog my ass off. My concern is they might say I’m underperforming and who knows, might even fire me! Typical Indian company mentality. How do you handle this situation without getting targeted ? So far I document everything that I’ve done and make sure there isn’t any place they can point fingers at! Looking for some pointers.

I’ve about 7yoe. 3y in product. And I already feel that I enjoy the role less now. I’m tired of writing tickets whole day, doing things that don’t have great outcomes, coordinating and doing program management work. How do folks who’ve spent like 10/15 years in the role manage to balance this? What do you do to recover and recuperate. Ps: only answer if you’re experienced. Tia
