#techmahindra has a real #toxicworkculture issue. 
No weekend allowances 
No on-call allowances 
No hike
No job security 

It's all about just office politics, no value given to the actual work when it comes to the ratings & appraisals. Work pressure will literally put you on stress and depression medicines but you won't get any benefit working this hard.
Don't believe anything your manager says unless he puts it on email.
Advice to everyone - UNDERPERFORM!

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?

Work culture at Navi

Basis recent news article and interview of the founder, the company is in talks for external funding. Has the founder money run out, he is also talking about ipo in 2 years.

Navi looking at external funding?

Operations Manager

Joined a product based Company two months back. Company culture is great. decent pay. good policies like insurance, cab, leaves etc.
But in the department I'm working at, the work is very Toxic.
It's minimum 9 hours everyday (continuous stretch). and what's surprising is stress and hectic work is normalised here. No one talks about. no signs of change as well.

Company is Great, My Work is Toxic

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I have heard people talking about bad culture in a company. I just wanted to know what exactly they mean by not a good culture? Is it micro management or no WLB or something else. Please give some examples and if possible with the company's name.(saw in some recent post on GV that Groww does not a have a good culture. A more detailed example would be much helpful)

What is "not a good culture" according to you?

How is the culture at Navi? How is the culture for Product and Engineering teams?

Just now I was reading a post that a person has to forcefully resign due to a toxic manager/work environment. Shouldn't there be a movie 🍿 about toxicity of office managers, as there was 3idiots for choosing career. Like how employees get treated in banks (that video which went viral, manager yelling at an employee), another example when an employee stood up against his manager (order swiggy par karo jake), there are so many examples. My team and I also face a hell level of micro-management daily but no one speaks up about it. I tried highlighting it to my manager and team but no benefit. In my company, even if you make an HR complaint they are helpless and reroute you to the manager only. I think it's the same for others as well. Any opinions?? 

P.S. Not saying every manager is bad. I have worked with some great ones as well.

Toxic Work culture!!

Operations Analytics

So, I joined this company located in Delhi last year from Bangalore as a permanent WFH employee. Initial 6 months were fine, even though I was aware they had pre-installed tracking software called "Teramind" while sending  the laptop! But in the last 3 months the work culture or environment has completely flipped and turned into Toxic.

First they made us install a remote tracking software called "Hubstaff"  which tracks keyboard and mouse activity and time, and takes 4 screenshots every 10 minutes.

Then they made it compulsory 8 hours a day excluding any break like lunch or tea.

This month they tied work hours with Salary and started deducting the entire day's pay even if you are short by like half an hour!  

Almost all employees know they need to leave but are kinda stuck due to the current job market situation.

I'M thinking of quitting without finding another job now, I'm just mentally tired and frustrated with the situation I find myself in. All my emotional energy is spent, I just don't know what to do😞

I have received an On-Campus (Tier 1) internship+FTE  offer from Societe Generale as a Software Developer.
What is the reputation of SocGen ? Will I have any problem switching in the near future?

is Societe Generale good place to join as a Fresher

A college junior mentioned that he falls short by one minute of completing a 45 Minute weekly reporting. Consequently, his paid leave was revoked.
Such a worst working environment.

Jio has a pathetic work culture !

Software Test - QA

Recently caught up with a friend who works for an “employee friendly” HR tech company. This brand has been boasting about how great they are with the sort of employee benefits they offer. The founder specially keeps boasting about this on LinkedIn and Twitter. 
Found out yesterday, that the employee benefits come at a cost of micro management and a toxic environment at the workplace. Really sad to see the perceptions that the brands create and the reality they offer. 

Would you prefer:
1. Few employee benefits with no micromanagement? Or
2. More employee benefits at the cost of micromanagement?

Number one definitely.

fuck this shit. how many more lives do we need to lose before we wake the fuck up? saurabh kumar laddha, 25, jumped from the ninth floor after a grueling day at mckinsey. a few months later, anna sebastian perayil, 26, worked herself to death at ernst & young. two brilliant minds, two futures gone, all because these corporate fuckers can’t stop squeezing every last drop out of their employees.

let’s not bullshit ourselves—these consulting firms aren’t saving the world. they’re not curing cancer, and they sure as hell aren’t solving world hunger. they’re making fancy powerpoints and throwing around buzzwords to justify their obscene fees. and the way they do it? by grinding young talent into the ground.

“you can work at night. that’s what we all do.” that’s the toxic crap they’re feeding people. since when did destroying your mental health become a badge of honor? these firms dangle prestige and big paychecks like a carrot, luring in the brightest minds, only to chew them up and spit them out.

here’s the kicker—these same fuckers wouldn’t pull this shit in other countries. they know they’d get sued or face real consequences. but in india? they’ll use their influence to brush it under the rug, just like they did with saurabh. a few weeks of fake concern, some empty promises about “employee well-being,” and then it’s back to business as usual.

this isn’t work culture; it’s a death cult. these firms are sacrificing young lives on the altar of corporate greed. and for what? so some ceo can add another zero to their bonus? so the partners can buy another vacation home?

let’s call it what it is: corporate manslaughter. these companies are killing our youth with their insane demands and toxic culture. and they’re getting away with it because we let them. we buy into their bullshit about prestige and career growth, forgetting none of that matters if you’re dead.

how many more people need to die before we say enough is enough? how many more mothers need to write heartbreaking letters about their dead children? how many more dreams need to be shattered before we realize this system is fundamentally broken?

we need to ask the tough questions. why are we letting these companies treat people like disposable resources? why are we normalizing 80-hour work weeks and celebrating burnout like it’s some sort of accomplishment? why are we letting these corporate vampires suck the life out of an entire generation?

this isn’t just about mckinsey or ernst & young. it’s about a whole fucked-up system that values profit over people, that sees human beings as nothing more than cogs in a machine. and it’s about time we broke that machine.

no job, no project, no deadline is worth a human life. period. these companies need to be held accountable, and we need to stop glorifying this toxic bullshit. long hours aren’t a sign of dedication; they’re a sign of a broken system that’s killing us.

it’s time for real change, not just empty promises and pr spin. because if we don’t do something now, how many more saurabhs and annas will we lose before we finally say “no more”?

6 months since saurabh from mckinsey committed suicide, and now a ca in ey passes away due to a stress induced cardiac arrest – these consulting fuckers are ruthless.

We really need a corporate employees union in India. Companies will keep targetting individuals but with a union they'll sure have to bend their knees.  
  
 EY even sent out precautionary mail to employees to refrain from posting anything about the incident on social media

Product Manager

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)

There was a couple of days of orange alert and heavy rains in Mumbai. Travel was hectic but some organisation including this reputed bank took coming to office commitment at another level! When delays are commons due to bad climate, the solution is to reach early!

How toxic is your work place?

Working at a Paytm subsidiary. My manager left the firm 6 months ago and instead of hiring a replacement I was given all his work with no increment or bonus.

I worked my ass off and ensured there were no issues. Come appraisal time, no promotion, 5% increment, lot of bonus esops with (5%, 5%, 10%, 10%, 70%) vesting. This is the most weird vesting period I've come across and almost looks they are trying to trap me into staying here.

My experience is not unique. A lot of senior people left last year and they haven't hired but rather dumped their work on juniors.

I feel like an idiot for trusting the firm to reward my work.

High attrition, toxic culture, weird incentives

"No one from EY attended Anna's funeral". 

This particular line stuck out from the email Anna's mother has written to @rajivmemani (Chairman of EY, India) after Anna's death. 

I would urge all of you to read the complete letter.
