The Curse of Corporate

I joined Synkrama Technologies Private Limited with enthusiasm, inspired by a positive and supportive environment. Initially, the atmosphere seemed promising, and I was motivated to contribute to the team. However, as time went on, I faced numerous challenges that profoundly impacted my professional and personal well-being. Early in my tenure, I was appointed as a Team Lead on several projects. This role, though a significant opportunity, came with immense pressure from our CEO, KJ. The expectation was to meet deadlines at any cost, which led to continuous mental stress. Under his directives, I inadvertently became a source of pressure for my colleagues , AN , and AB and other major colleagues . This created a strained and uncomfortable working environment for all of us as i used to put pressure on them on the influence of Karan Jain The situation worsened as I found myself working through weekends and even during leaves, resulting in severe mental exhaustion. Despite these efforts, new developers were hired, and I was sidelined. This period was particularly tough, leading to depression and sleepless nights. After enduring this for several months, I decided to resign from my position. Unexpectedly, KJ contacted me, urging me to withdraw my resignation. He assured me that the previous issues would be resolved and praised my contributions. Reluctantly, I decided to stay, hoping for a positive change. However, the company's environment continued to pose challenges. We were subjected to screen monitoring via Team Logger, where management frequently questioned my idle time. Despite my high productivity and efficiency, I was often scrutinized for taking breaks or assisting colleagues, which is essential for maintaining a collaborative workspace. Most recently, a significant and distressing event occurred, further affirming my decision to share my experience publicly. it’s crucial to address and bring awareness to the toxic practices that can affect employees’ mental health and overall well-being. I hope my story encourages organizations to foster genuinely supportive environments and prioritize the mental health of their employees. source: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/rutvik-borad-12409b19b_theabrcurseabrofabrcoprorate-activity-7199762667471839233-3wyR

Toxic Manager…Need Suggestions?

So I’ve been working as a Backend Software Engineer. Recently, my manager left the company and I’ve been assigned a new manager. Not to boast but I’m decent at my job and able to find better solutions than my peers, my old manager ignited this passion for problem solving in me. This new manager is really toxic he pass comments on my colleagues (Same level as me) you have short term memory loss, badam khaya kro and shit! He’s always chasing girls in office. There is one girl in my team he acts like a different person in front of her (although she treats him really bad because she thinks he’s a creep). So a few days back, I was working on something with some other manager who knew the context to the problem (there is an internal npm package my company has which only few developers have contributed to, I recently made my contribution to that package) and this new manager has never made any contribution to that package so he started telling the other manager that this guy(Says my name) is very slow and the other managers defends me instantly saying he’s the fastest in the team. I’m really pissed tho. I want to do something about this guy. He has been doing such things for past month and always tells the sob story of how much he has struggled in life. Need suggestions on how to tackle this? PS: I’ve asked my parents if I can resign they are fine with it but I don’t want to resign in this bad market without an offer

How do you cope up with toxic environment?

I am a fresher just out of college, I have had the unfortunateness that I have gotten some toxic seniors where they just bash me for no reason at all, if I ask some questions to them they always give a sarcastic reply and when I do not understand something that they try to tell me and I ask questions they just stare me down, I'm just close to 1.5 months in the job. I have been hesitant till now to speak up to my manager but I will do now, bcz the situations have gotten worse with time, so much so that I am thinking of resigning to get away from this bullshit environment. I am just thinking of completing this quarter and then I'll put in my papers bcz water has gone above the head. Relatives and parents tell me to stay for some more time and see if things change but they haven't, every day feels like a challenge, work hours are pretty shit 11 am - 2am, sometimes 3am. Whereas others who joined with me got good seniors, who when they ask something always help them out. One of my frnds had a long day at work due to some error that he made in an analysis report due to which his whole team had to stay till 11 pm. Nobody bashed him for that, just made him know that learn from this and try to not repeat it. When he returned back to home he had a smile on his face and said my seniors backed me and made me understand where I went wrong and how to correct it, this is how work environment should be. If people are good, work hours are not a problem. Other people raised it with their seniors and they(friend's senior) also said that this is so not acceptable in the workplace. I'm eyeing other companies in the same domain to get to a better workplace where I am valued and no one bashes someone for not knowing things. I'm fed up of this corporate life in the first 2 months only. Money is good here but at what cost. How do you see this? Or how shall I approach this problem?

How do you navigate toxic peers and environment?

Hey, it's been almost 2 months in my new job being a 2024 graduate, I was very excited to be joining corporate and being able to work on projects that will solve real world problems but all that glamour has since faded away, the learning curve has been pretty steep which is not a problem but people around me are quite toxic af like saying things in a sarcastic way for not knowing stuff, micro managing things and expecting me to deliver high quality results without even proper training. I now understand why people value work life balance so much, for I have been putting long long hours just to get the work done I'm talking like till 2-3 in the morning, now part of it is also me not fully knowing the work but then again my seniors aren't supportive at all, when I have a question their reaction is mostly like "yrr you can't even do this". I have been doubting myself so much since then and my abilities, feeling really depressed about work and life and don't know if it will get better. I have come to the point where I am even thinking of resigning because of lack of support structure, my parents and relatives are all trying to console me and honestly it feels good to have them around me but then again it's getting too much for me and if things do keep like this I would have to prioritise my health and mental health and quit from here. I never thought that the threshold will come so early but it has, maybe I only have few weeks worth of patience left in me. Really need to turn my life around, I will start applying for jobs on the side to see if something better comes up, preferably with atleast a decent work life balance. I know it might sound like a rant but I'm feeling exhausted and it's not even been 2 months properly in my joining. How do I navigate this?
