Onshore employees have no time respect for fellow Indians working in India

I needed an employment letter for travel to schengen countries.. I booked my tickets for july 12 and all the itinerary along with it. I pinged my HR on 15th may for an employment letter. And it took her almost 12 days to draft it. And this is despite me telling her I need it ASAP and pinging her every day for the same. Just annoyed AF.. My old firm would get it to me in a day.. How long does it actually take to draft a letter!!

Would you continue interviewing with a hiring manager who reschedules at the last minute? (less than 10 minutes to the interview) Context- A recruiter reached out, resume shortlisted and interview scheduled 3 days in advance but still interviewer asks for rescheduling at the very last minute! Think about it- You put efforts to manage time & ensure availability in the middle of the week but interviewer can’t even manage 30 minutes for an interview?

Never overwork, you lose your piece of mind, sleep, and health gets ruined.

I recently had a very frustrating experience with an individual named Mahesh Saha, who, to my understanding, holds a high position at HCL and is based in the USA. He canceled my interview not once, not twice, but three times. On the third occasion, I specifically asked the recruiter an hour before the scheduled time to confirm with him if the interview was still on, so I wouldn't waste my time preparing and adjusting my schedule, including missing my gym & sports session. The recruiter assured me that the interview would proceed as planned. So, I prepared, made sure to be home on time, and logged into my laptop, only to find out he had canceled yet again at sharp interview time. It's incredibly frustrating to see such unprofessional behavior. It seems some individuals, just because they hold higher positions, feel entitled to disregard other people's time. It's disappointing to encounter this kind of attitude, which is more reminiscent of a bureaucratic mindset than what one would expect from a leading private organization. Is this truly the culture at HCL?

I thought I was the only one frustrated with meetings until my colleagues also mentioned they were not able to get work done because most of the day was spent on meetings Plus our boss (CEO) loves talking, anyway the meetings are agenda-less. He stretches 30 min calls to 2 hours and then has the audacity to question the productivity. Cannot tell me this, he gets very touchy when feedback is negative for him. And then writes sarcastic messages. Also, who wants to take up fights with person who pays your salary What to do in this case? I'm tired of working 12 hours each day

Working in TCS Kolkata and really looking for a job change. Current scenario is terrible at work . BFSI not paying the full variable allowance for over 2 years. Salary hikes much lower than industry standard. Terrible atmosphere at office where people are trying to put blame on others . Whoever goes for tea with manager is supposedly most important resource in the project. BaNCS product platform is the worst example of product yet company is forcing us to work on it. Manager refuses to release from project even after multiple request. 5 days mandatory attendance at office is expected with threats of deduction from salary in case of less attendance No timings maintained.People are calling at night and expecting to get work done at the spot.So people are expected to work both at office and home which is taking a toll on personal life. Leaves are not getting granted for no reason. Promotion pending for over 2 years with no ETA from manager. Request anyone to provide referral if available. Thanks in advance.

Great respect to NRN to what he has done to the Indian IT industry but he needs to stop with all these PR actions, it's detrimental.

Joined this organization as an SDE. Initially, had a great experience for the first few months, got to learn a lot. However, eventually, the management (co-founder) started showing his true colors where they would favor a few people who would say yes to everything the co-founder had to say, while others who asked for justification would suffer. One such issue is the lack of concrete documentation for policies, and surprise, surprise, the policies change based on the mood of the founders. HR, oh, where can I begin? I honestly haven't seen them work, other than salary processing, where they have outsourced their work like LinkedIn management and basic tasks such as wishing employees on their birthdays. This is perfectly fine with the co-founder, as he considers this innovative. Unnecessarily, we are forced to follow processes that hamper productivity, and we have to attend meetings for half the day. Still, they expect us to work for more than 10 hours when the salary is peanuts—hell, even peanuts are better; at least we can have them with alcohol. My learning is saturated, and there’s no zeal to learn as the manager and others demotivate you. The most frustrating part is the quarterly rewards, which make no sense, as the rewards are given to people who can appease their managers (confirmed). And now that we have increments incoming, they have all of a sudden started highlighting mistakes, finding mistakes even if they don’t exist. Like one such example was the co-founder asking us to write a script when the script was already shown, and asking for an update on a JIRA ticket when it was already given in the comments. They lost my respect when they started canceling people’s PTOs and disturbing people on their much-needed PTOs where they spend time with their families and unwind. The co-founder asks the PO to call and disturb the developer on their much-needed vacations after working for long hours and weekends as he wants to satisfy his ego.
