Taliban Members Fed Up With Office Work, Ready to Quiet Quit- Grapevine

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

With all this talk about quiet quitting and burnout, it seems like the traditional 9-5 grind is losing its appeal. I've noticed more of my colleagues advocating for flexible schedules and remote work options. 

Has this shift in priorities played out in your workplace too? How has your company responded to demands for better work-life balance? Do you think this is the new normal, or just a temporary reaction to the pandemic?

Quiet quitting, burnout, and the shift away from the 9-5: Is this the new normal for work-life balance?

What are the reasons that made u fed up ?

How many of you are fed up with your work ?

Today, all of a sudden, some folks got emails that they have been laid off. There is an uncertainty around the transparency of layoffs now. It was communicated org wide last March and November when then last 2 layoffs were conducted. This time, no-one seems to know how many people got impacted and who got impacted.

Some people at head/lead/senior positions have started voluntary leaving as well. Not sure if they are being asked to leave or if they are leaving themselves.

Hard to see these things happening in a company with an amazing work culture. :/

- The Taliban has issued new laws banning women’s voices and bare faces in public, approved by supreme leader
- The laws, part of a 114-page document, cover public transportation, music, shaving, and celebrations, and are the first formal vice and virtue laws since the Taliban's 2021 takeover.
- Women must veil their bodies and faces in public, and their voices are not to be heard singing, reciting, or reading aloud.
- The laws also ban the publication of images of living beings and the playing of music, among other restrictions.
- A U.N. report highlights the ministry's role in creating a climate of fear and expanding its oversight into media and drug addiction.

Taliban Enforces New Vice Laws Targeting Women’s Voices and Visibility

Journalist

I am thinking of leaving my current job and focus on myself, getting to know myself better etc. Currently I have enough money saved for my expenses for next 6-8 months. 
   Everyone I have asked about this say don't leave your job if you don't have another lined up, in this tech winter. I understand their view point. It aligns with what my parents think as well.

Is there anyone who has had done this in the past? Do you recommend this route? Are the consequences far too severe? Does anyone have a different opinion from one stated above?

Anyone ever left job without having another job lying around for their mental peace?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Our work is divided into our team of more than 10 members. The nature of work is absolutely identical and only the quantum of work varies everyday between us. 
Once we complete our work, we are expected to complete and help others and even sit late for completing other's work. Due to this situation, it became a belief that if you complete your work early, you will be bombarded with even more work. Hence, some members decided to be mischievous about this and started to work at a slower pace. However, members who were loyal and completed their work efficiently were bombarded with extra work, let alone, be appreciated for their efficiency. 
Of course, I was one of them. This has led me to quiet quit and give everything to a job, which doesn't even value the work I do.

Late Sitting, hence quiet quitting

The goal was to target the quiet quitters and those with opportunities elsewhere by making the current work environment unappealing.

What is your take on Government debt?

A perfect foundation of a profitable business in India. Sell hopes, create FOMO, increase competition and be rich. 

All those who wanted to change Education System are very much part of same system now!!!

It is hard being at this organisation with toxic people and toxic culture at its peak.

Can’t anymore (don’t have an offer in-hand and I have 1 year of experience)

I can see some companies like Byjus or Unacademy taking a note from this. 🤣

Quiet quitting

The company did around 10-15% silent layoffs in the last cycle by putting people in PIP. 
My Manager told me that he has pressure on him to put at least 1 or 2 people in PIP, make them leave the company and reduce costs.

Later, the company did as low an appraisal as 2%.

Senior folks are leaving specifically Frontend Developers.

Salaries of a lot of SDE-2 are below 30 LPA.

They have started new positions called Product Developers which will do the same work as SDEs but with a lesser package. PD-1 salary is around 10-12 lakhs and of Lead PD is 20-22 lakhs.

The company is putting itself in a position where it wants people to leave on their own.

There are almost zero perks in the company. 
The team outing budget is a joke which is 2k INR per person per year. That is 500 rupees per person per quarter. 

Also making office mandatory from November.

Razorpay is too smart!

Most startup’s are not founded with great altruistic purpose to elevate human condition. Most startup’s are founded where founders know they can make money or earn status points through little schemes of leveraging their network of investors. 

Most of them know they can earn more income by just raising some money from friends or VCs. Build a small tech tool and burn through money trying to acquire and retain customers. All this while hiring 100s of employees selling false narratives. 

What bugs me the most isn’t the thousands of people getting laid off, salary corrections or bankruptcies, it is the mafiaesque organisation built to “create wealth for some by exploitation of countless others” 

Most startup founders use brute force of content and media coupled with ignorance of people to perpetuate this cycle. 

It’s the virtue signalling and holier than thou attitude of most founders and VCs justifying all their mindless brutality in the name of strategy and growth which destroys aspirations and outcomes for the many. It’s more relevant in India because of large scale ignorance about money and large scale trust on educated individuals with the right college tags! 

If you have seen sopranos, most founders are like Anthony soprano - summarily violent, manipulative and ruthless behaviour primarily driven by selfish greed but juxtaposed with moments of vulnerability and struggle justifying his action with a facade of providing for his family. 

*Replace Anthony soprano with your founder/ceo name* 


1. VSS was playing fast and lose with rbi regulations resulting in stock crash and layoffs 
2. Byju’s systematically destroyed his own company and wealth of his employees just to ensure he retains majority control 
3. Ashneer G and his wife manipulated company books
4. Zerodha founders cheated in chess match or lied about their system failures which lost a lot of capital

PS: I refer to most founders because there are few exceptions who don’t fit into this narrative.

Startup founders are mafia bosses!

I hate my boss and my political colleagues. Scared to quit cus the job market is shit. Anyone else feeling this way?
