Thoughts on changing workday from 8 to 14 hours?- Grapevine

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

14 hour work day proposal

Software Developer

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hey peeps!

Currently working in a Fintech company in Mumbai as a Frontend Engineer with over a year of experience. The current CTC is 7 LPA. 

I feel like the growth here is limited and from the past few months there's been a lot of micro-management. Even the CTC is not up to Mumbai's expense standard. I live in a soapbox and pay like 1/5 th of monthly salary. Standard of living has been decreasing while it should be opposite.

+ I've 6 days work week with 9 hours /day shift. Although I've decided to drop in papers soon, I'd like to hear your opinions. 

Brownie points if you refer me to some good early stage startup probably in BLR or Pune or Remote.

Should I continue or resign

I've been hearing a lot about this four-day work week concept lately. A friend of mine in New Zealand just started a job at a company that's trying it out. 

She says she's loving the extra day off, but I wonder about the long-term effects. Has anyone here experienced a compressed work week? 

I'm curious how it impacts productivity and work-life balance. If your company suddenly announced they were switching to a four-day week, how do you think it would go down?

What are your opinions on a 4 day work week?

Perhaps we need to enforce an 80 hour workweek

Hi Folks, has making a 9hour workday become a standard practice in all offices? 

This is sucha shitty role.. why can we just finish our work n leave? Why do we have to stay n complete 9hrs as it’s some school.

Your take on 9hours working mandatory ?

14 hour work day - Karnataka gov plans

Are you ready to work more than 12 hrs a day?

Ready to work 16 hrs a day?

I am a fresher working in a fintech startup. I have been here for 2 months but all my work until have been basically upgrading node version and Python version and resolving some tickets in existing repos.

I talked to my manager about whether if the kind of work will change he said for 70% of the time. The work will this only and rewriting so e deprecated code.
Freshers in other teams got development work from day 1 itself. But for them also  they feel the work is kind of repetitive. Building scraper and integrating api again and again. There are some Exception.

Now I recently interviewed at Akamai and got a offer for sde 1. However here the team for which I interviewed was security team and here they say that the tech stack will mostly c/c++ and everything will be network heavy. Python and golang also may be used But most work is in c/c++. Also  the people who interviewed me were  system and security engineers.


Now my question is should I switch to akamai the compensation difference is 3lpa in base and akamai is wfh. Or should I stay here in the startup and try for a team change. (They say they allow you to change the team not sure how long they take).

My aim is to go into backend developer into big techs(not faang necessarily already interned there not as flashy as it looks from outside, i just dont to be in a startup bcoz they have no boundariesfor personal life). And whatever company I choose I plan to leave after 11 months as the work is not of my choice.

The tech stack at startup is python node js.

Which experience would look better on my resume. And If I join akamai will my profile transition into system side??

How much does brand name matter?

I am having hybrid mode 2 days office and 3 days WFH and office is far (20kms from home) so regular commute is tough. But my productivity at home goes down drastically as it's just me at home and lot of slacking happens. Any tips to increase productivity while working from home

How do we ensure productivity at WFH

I am working atleast 12 hours daily for the past couple of months and now i feel this is taking a toll on my mental health. Increment was pathetic variable is slashed and I don’t see any light at the end of this tunnel. What should i do in such a situation.

Any suggestions please. The fact that things have gotten so bad that i am now contemplating a change in career. IT sector seems good from outside with all the money and stuff but from inside its a dark dark place.

I need some suggestions what should i do? Should i leave or continue to work hoping that things might get better after a certain point of time?

I strongly believe if companies reduced work hours to 6-7 hours a day it’ll increase in individual’s moral as well as productivity, what do you guys think? 
Currently my shift hours is 9 hours a day traveling to and from excluded which leads to 12 hours a day, which gets hectic sometimes.

So, this company I have an offer from seems great culture wise. I asked some members for red flags and they said its a software they use that tracks them for 8 hours and takes screenshots every 10 minutes. I have no experience working in companies with this implementation earlier. Can anyone shed some light on whether this may be a deal breaker or not? Heard mix responses from current employees that it’s hard to clock 40-42 hours a week and takes away our personal freedom. What are the thoughts?

F*ck the 8 hours workdays, who would want to work 8 or more hours a day for an employer who could fire me in a day if they like to, I am just another replaceable product. I can be replaced in a week, why would I dedicate my peak years to that company?

One time only made 9 Calls in 30 Days for my first company- I was the only SDR in Company , My target was 100 Calls a day. nothing happened to me why? Coz I achieved even in the months before and after that month. I just brought results. 

one of my leaders used to only come to office for 2 hours a day, yk what happened to him? he was promoted every quarter, why? he brought results in those 2 hours, there was no need for him for 8 hours.

Is it about the hours tho? Are the employers actually interested in your working hours? Yes alot of them are and to hell with them. I would gladly take a paycut to work with an employer who does not count hours but work, and not work but results. 

I don't believe in work hours personally, to me it is always what is my company looking for? Do you know your day to day targets, yes you do. But do you know why those targets specifically and what is the end goal for 2024 for your company as a whole? Most of us don't know that.

That's where employers fking fail and employees too- both of them fail here.

Boss counts work hours, because they don't know why employee is not achieving the tasks, employee doesn't have any idea why something is critical and keeps postponing these tasks/targets. 

If both of them focus on the Why, there will be no hour counts, there will be no screen recording, bla bla bla. Fk this mentality.

Fuck the 8 Hour workdays?

I don't count hours for my startup. Team is chill and likes it too. Plus all remote. There should be others like me too.

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

How do you define work life balance boundaries at work? Everyone in my team works 10-12 hrs daily, it’s business as usual for them. I joined recently and it’s very problematic for me, I literally get no time to do anything else. 
I fear, that if I highlight this I’ll be singled out. 
Some people even feel very proud in doing so which I don’t understand. Don’t they want to go back home to their family and spend time with them?
Please provide guidance on how to set these boundaries and am I thinking right?
