A certain manager acts very high handed and treats everyone pretty badly and all of them just shut up and work.

 When someone i know  confronted them and spoke the way he was speaking with them. He went and cried like a baby to founder friends and made them resign.

Looking for genuine and non diplomatic answers since it will be anonymous. It is upto you to reveal the name of the company you resigned from.

Lets discuss!!! I will go first -

I quit my last organisation (a famous UPI company) in 2020 because, they still are in old technology. No cloud computing, no kubernates, no terraform. Their entire baremetal infra are in 2 DCs (Mumbai and Bangalore). Leadership ideas are outdated. I was very much bored and looking for a change.

Why did you resign?

Amount of effort i put and the salary i got was not proportional. 14 hrs to get 30k salary as a fresher. I had understood that I deserve better - thus i moved to get better pay and better wlb (which I got in swiggy)

How do you guys manage exiting an org (voluntary exit like resignation) while maintaining relationships with your seniors?
I feel like the moment I put down my papers my bosses react aggressively and get pissed, don’t know how to handle that.

It can be either a strange workplace policy, an altercation with a manager or absolutely anything else.

Let's pour your heart out and share the worst experience you had (or having) while dealing with your manager (do add company name)

Toxic traits of manager

Strategy & Operations

A friend used to work as AVP at HSBC’s credit analyst team in Bangalore Office. Apparently, one of the female AVPs loves gossiping and went around the office saying our guy doesnt work at all and is shitting on a crucial project. When reported to the lead VP, he failed to take any action.

Upon threatening intimation to HR, the lady got wind of the whole situation and calls up our guy applogising and stuff. But the back bitching doesnt stop and this time our guy ends up leaving the toxic workplace.

No cookies for guessing who’s in line for promotion next.

Other reported incidents against which no actions were take
1) making juniors cry
2) deleting teams billable hours without informing anyone
3) not informing about leaves and then creating chaos over non completion of work

and the show is just getting started….

Heard Anuj (CPO) is leaving soon, and that they have had multiple exits this year. Is it not doing well? 

If I'm not wrong they just started working in a very huge office recently.

What made it worst? The pay, the culture, or your manager?

What's the worst company you have worked for?

ICICI Bank, they had a strict sign in timing policy where if you are late to corporate office, half day salary would be cut, It would be reversed only when manager approves. The sign out time used to be 5.15pm, but you would be made to sit till 8 pm by most of the managers even if your job is done for the day. A sign out at 6 pm used to be called as half day by most of the managers. 
 I heard now they donot have this dictatorial policy.

Product Manager

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I have joined this new company
Individually contribute and work with folks onsite.
I report to a manager who have multiple projects
There is this guy who is like 3-4 yrs experience but behaves like he is the boss when manager isn't around

Ruins standups every day with digressions and lengthy non sensical updates

He started trying overpower me with some nasty remarks 

Everybody is fed up with him,
With holds information, 
Treated interns as shit
Even seniors are troubled but don't confront aggressively

Got to know one of the recent left employee has reprimanded him and also shared the conflict with higher ups

They are saying no use as he behaves well with manager and his manager

I literally want to confront him and say to behave and act professionally

With his snarky remarks some of my days going bad
Being 11 years experience I feel so frustrated that I am still facing these narcissists


Please advise how to treat this prick in a good way and stop worrying


Ps I am all ok with years of  experience always feel good work place is major contribution for any ones win

I've been hearing some pretty bad things about Navi's work culture - esp. in the analytics teams. Apart from the 12-14 hour days, apparently you're not even allowed to take leaves. If you want to go home for a few days, you're asked to apply for wfh for those days. If you want to wfh, you're asked to apply for a sick leave and then work nevertheless.
 
Can someone from Navi or otherwise confirm this?

Hi Everyone, This post is about the Toxic Co-Founder of Quantiphi (Mr Toxic Asif Hassan).

Reasons:

1. Work-Culture has become Toxic, People in Project are working since 5 weekends without any single leave ( No Extra Pay/No Comp-offs/ No weekend Leaves) and that to 13-14hours a day Straight.

2. People in my project who have raised voices have been told (" You know what options you have and I have "). Indirectly saying if you revolt either i will fire you or you resign immediately.

3. People facing issues with Clients(Canda's BigTicket Insurance Firm) paying a huge amount for an un-realistic deadline project were told by Asif. If you have any problems that don't come to me, i want only solutions( He doesn't want to listen to Anyone).

4. People were forcefully told to come to the office ( Some people who had some genuine issues e.g. one of our colleagues recently got blessed with a baby) was told by Asif you are not the one caring for the baby, So you have to come.

5. All our advanced leaves are cancelled, People who are taking Sick leave are being told either bring your backup or work with your Illness, we don't care.

6. Issues raised with HR, HR says "We cant do anything".

7. In the last 7 days many senior people and colleagues were either Forcefully resigned / got Laid-Off.

8. The people suffering the most are the ones directly in touch with the client or the developers reason being Asif bashes Managers and Managers Bash us for No fault of ours because of the un-realistic deadlines set.

9. People revolting are put on the bench and are laid-off the next day without any reason. 

The Moral of the whole team is near to Zero and many of us are thinking to voluntarily Resign from this toxic workplace. 

Guys do suggest, should we call out these kinds of toxic Co-Founders and Companies or not. I need to help me reach this post to a wider audience.

Happy to hear comments.
