Planned sick leave....mention this in your mail signature 😄

Consultant

LOL. Plan for your sickness properly.. While the organisation plan for project execution is fully random and always fire fighting..

I believe the manager is more sick than the guy. 😅 
 My request to his company -  give permanent leave to that manager.

 Going forward they might ask us to give heads up before going sick 🤣

Indian managers are the best!!

Indian managers are the best!!- Grapevine

I have had over 8-10 managers in my life in a career spanning over 8 years, 5 of them were female managers and unfortunately the experience with 4 of them were very bad. They’re either micro managers, or power hungry, want to be dominant over male juniors, misuse their power, cannot take any kind of resistance or refusals or disagreement from juniors.

I have always heard female managers are more empathetic but unfortunately I’ve faced the opposite. Just wondering, was it just bad luck or is it actually the case?

I tried to introspect in this and I found at least 4 points common across all these female managers:

1. They are all from Tier 2/3 Cities
2. They’ve studied in premier institutions IIT,IIMS,Wharton even one of them
3. They either have a younger or elder brother who got more love in the family
4. Their husband is at a higher senior level than them in professional life/career

Unpopular Opinion: Female Managers are Dominating

I have found females in corporate are much more opportunistic and shrewd than men. They think that is the only way to rise. Yet to encounter an empathetic female in jobs.

Indian managers are the best in the world

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Indian managers will make the work culture toxic even if they are in good international companies. Indian branches of the same company will be shity because of these insecure managers.

Indian managers of no use

Lets use this space to describe our managers- 

Mine is so toxic, Has a very sad life though he is married and has one year old baby, jealous to next level,No boundaries! 
My manager is the most stupidest person I have ever come across in my life. Good managers are leaders on whom you can fall back to when you fuck up! 
Mine is so toxic that he only wants to take credit of best things done in the organization and everything otherwise he would just put on me. Keep on assigning tasks at odd hours, will msg why is this not done that not done! 
He has even tried silent treatment with me, as if that would work 😂
I mean he would try to show me that he is so pissed off with me because I choose not to attend his calls in off office hours, or maybe when i choose not to respond to his bullshit. 
Keeps getting deep into the arses of management. Would be first one to attend any parties and also the last one to leave the vicinity. 
Sometimes I feel so pissed off when I see people like him not been held responsible for a toxic culture at the workplace and how simply they just get away in a day by putting everythibg else on others. 
Being on a leadership designation, he is still so much insecure that he would leave no stone unturned to keep me out of the meetings where any achievements or good stuff is being discussed 🤦🏼‍♀️

Same story of countless friends who went there

Money expert Ramit Sethi often has to help couples realize they're spending too much. This high-income couple, though, he says, might be spending too little.

Millennial couple makes $850,000 a year and still worries about money

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I am working at an European company. Previously my manager was non Indian. Some re org happened, and I got an Indian manager.

Man, I cannot tell you how many times I thought of resigning in the last 3 months. I think it’s in the genes.

For instance, I informed that I would be on leave on 26th dec, given that 23, 24 are sat and sun and 25 is Christmas.

They asked me if I can be on on call till 25th, as I’m only on leave on 26th

Like wtf, who thinks this way!!

If you can, skip working for an Indian manager

Compared to white ones. Obviously not all of us may have the same experience but this is a general stereotype and my own experience.

Please enlighten gyani people.

Why are Indian managers hard to work with?

What are the toxic/bad influence of foreigners which Indians should avoid??
What Indian value should we be proud of and never want to change it ??

Toxic abroad culture

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

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.

Senior Designer

Somehow in india all the product startup’s have adopted the most toxic and worst translation of what it’s being like as a product manager and engineering management. Both these roles have become nothing but fear mongering, power grab, and most being extremely bias towards almost everything. 

So your success is very much dependent on how your manager is and the opportunity that they provide. So if you want to avoid toxicity sooner, it’s the right step rather than stick and fail in the long term. Once again, I am talking based off of my 10 yoe. You may have a different experience and I’d definitely wanna learn more.

Toxic Leadership in Engineering and Product

Engineering management is pure dumb in India for US product companies. Non contributing managers and directors who won't even pass design interviews. These are parasites who'll latch on new host, one of the reasons keeping India down and also talent leaving

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

How many of you just decide to quit applying for a company if the company’s recruiting platform is Workday?

I’m just so frustrated. And irrespective of the size of the company, I’ve really quit the process right then and there if ever I see workday. This includes big companies like VISA, Walmart, etc. 

Is it just me or is it a common behaviour?

Workday Sucks!

Copywriter

I have applied for leave for 2 days this Thursday n Fri, 
There’s certain important presentation came up on this Thursday.
I said I have lay over for 3 hrs. I will do the presentation in that, no issues from my side.

My manager said, no I don’t entertain such behaviours in my team. If you’re on leave, enjoy it. Don’t think about it work.

I felt weird coz, I have never worked in any org, where managers stops you to work 😅
