Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Just wanted to know why and how come our companies have horrible WLB and cultures compared to western counterparts. Is it the fault of the employees for accepting whatever and acting like sheep or is it just the mindset of the senior management to treat their subordinates the same horrible way they were treated as some sort of sick rite of passage ?

Why do Indian Companies / Indian management have horrible work life balance and cultures compared to others  ?

I am looking for companies startups which offer remote roles in India for engineering roles.

What are some genuine remote GLOBAL companies that hire in India are are doing good engineering

Noticed them in housekeeping, hospitality, plumbing, electrician roles, even in startups. Nepali families as caretakers in posh houses or Airbnb. At a co-working office in HSR, I hear them discussing getting Aadhar cards and settling permanently. Not discriminating or being racist, just curious about the trend.

Why are there so many Nepalese in Bengaluru?

Do they want to hire people who have been fired for non performance but can join immediately?

Why does every IT company in India has 90 days notice period but they want jobseekers to have to join in less than 30 days ?

Why India does not have technology-based product companies and why early companies like TCS, Infosys etc did not focus on the product.

India lacks technology companies.

Confirmed from credible source. Gojek Pune office is going to be shutdown in May or June. 

All people from Pune office will be layoff and no other option will be provided. 

So all Pune people , start looking out soon.

It's infuriating how everyone's advice to deal with layoffs is side hustles, wasting your life away to constantly upskill and reducing spending. Basically everyone here is saying "live life like shit to appease your corporate overlords" as if layoffs are OUR fault?

Instead, why aren't we seeing any advice on the lines of:

Build expertise in something while you're an employee and later start your own company/business/consultation on the basis of it. This will increase competition within businesses and will force them to treat their employees like humans. This was kind of the reason why things were generally good for employees from 2021-22 because all the startups popping up increased competition for labour.

Or if your employer lays a bunch of people off and starts giving the rest of you their workload, simply refuse! Don't work extra long or extra hard. Get the employees together collectively and make everyone, or at least the majority refuse to entertain these outlandish demands from your employers. What are they gonna do? Fire you all and lose their business? And if that's not going to work, just do everything very poorly and if you're asked about it, just cite that there is a lack of manpower needed to get quality results.

Basically, why have we collectively decided to take the short end of the stick and make our lives miserable when we should instead force employers to face consequences of THEIR OWN poor strategic planning? Why aren't we even discussing ideas for, let alone working on protecting our own best interests rather than interests of those who are screwing us over?

[Layoffs] Why have we just collectively decided to suck it up rather than retaliate?

I’ve always had this question on why Indians are very stingy when it comes to paying money for premium products. I agree there are Indians especially in the young generation who aren’t shy from spending for quality products but the masses are still stuck in the bargaining or cheap mindset. 

When we look for cars the first thing we probably check is kitna mileage dega ?

When we look at a premium product we compare it to a copy or a product that does not offer the same quality or service that a premium product offers. 

What are the reasons to it and when or how can we come out of it. This is one of the reasons we have got the “slave / miser ” label outside our county and why we’ve got weak passports which make it difficult to take a vacation like citizens of other countries .

Why are Indians still stuck in the freebie or cheap mentality ?

I've had the fortune of having worked in 3 countries so far. India is by far the most exciting place to be in 2024.
But there's something about our work ethic that just concerns me. In both white and blue collar.

In most other countries, I've observed people strictly sticking to the 9 to 5, working diligently in those hours - not wasting too much time on chai sutta breaks, instagram browsing, gupshup etc.

They work for 8 hours, then leave. And think about work directly the next day.

In India, most of us spend more hours - but very obviously very few of those hours are productive. In fact, I lately feel that too many people around me are doing even 2-3 hours of work on a good day.

We end up just staying around, passing time, and then go back home. When we could have achieved so much more.

Work ethic has fallen. Work hours have gone up.

We need to be more mindful of our actions, we need to work well at work, and then do well at home.

I think it's a function of being over populated. There are 1.5-2 people doing what 1 person should be doing, hence this effect.

Needs to be fixed, it's the sign of a major problem in the workforce. Thoughts?

Disguised unemployment in India - It's all around us :/

We don't end up staying long hours because we need to. But because we have to, so that the manager doesn't feel like we leave the office by "half day".  
  Also, they have a leverage that they can shut their laptops at 5 and nobody will reach out to them. But here in India, managers do reach out for escalations, or make us attend lat evening calls because it's afternoon in Europe or morning in NA. The people sitting in Europe or NA are not made to wake up early or attend night calls to accommodate us during our actual 9-5.  
  People also chit chat etc. bcz they know for sure that they have to sit for long hours..so they need to take small breaks in the day. No one has the capacity to work 10-11 hrs without any breaks.  
  Here it would never be possible to have such a strict 9-5.

No law
Low percent of people paying taxes
No good Infra
Rise of recent regionalism
No tech advancements in AI/Semiconductor

Planning to move to US, but at 30 not sure if i can go for MS

What’s your reason to stay in India ?

My reason: No fcuking companies are sponsoring visas🤡

I feel there's  need of employee union to raise our voice against these mfs capitalist companies. Europe atleast have minimum wage and minimum working hours fixed. Here we have to fight for bare minimum wage increment also. Laut aao Karl Marx 😭✊🏻
Hint: PCS ne 1.2% increment diya 🥲 and they did decrement in double digits for some employees 🤬
