It felt like they didn't even consider Holi as a festival here, despite a lot of North Indian residing in the city. Weird :/

Why doesn't bangalore companies have an off on Holi?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

We just received a message on our company  (Graphy by Unacademy) from our business head that, we should not come to him asking for 6-7 leave for Diwali. These are the employees who want to go back to there home town for the featival. Additionally he said that it is an optional holiday and we can ask for 2-3 days work from home max not more that that, and we should understand our business’s needs and remain focused on it. 
What should I do now I have to prioritise my family and going to my home town, like this I will have pressure from both ends, please pass on any advice.

Can’t celebrate Diwali now!

Hey Peeps,

My organization is still unsure about Ganesh Chaturthi Holiday as some states have Declared 19th September but some are saying 18th September. Is there any clarity in your org?

Every company should do this!

This is after making the whole company work on min. 4 weekends and late nights before the Sale. It's a comp-off at best.

Product Manager

Hi all,
I have been giving interviews for several IBs in last few months and i have had a very laggy, slow experience.

Namely, i have been interviewed by JPMC for about 3 profiles, Barclays for about 3 profiles, BNP Paribas and DB for about 2 profiles.

I would not disclose or discuss anything about offers. What i want to highlight is all these organizations are just taking weeks to finalize and give answer. If they like you, they would have rounds of interview in 2-3 days after each interview, but then, its radio silence. Then they either internally reject you and don't give any update or keep on window shopping with other candidates and try to find cheaper options. Then they come back if they don't find anything.
But something that they should change is transperancy.

Say exactly what is the status of a candidate. Why you want to keep on buying time.
On the contrary, i was also interviewed by EY. And they were simply the fastest and the most to the point guys.
Interviews done in 2-3 days, after final interview with director, i got a call the same evening discussing salary, etc...

No HR HR game and time wasting.

Also, none of the IBs ever update the status on online portal and when you reach out to HR for an update, all they say is its in process, waiting for business to reply and please check status online.

At times, even after months, the status stays the same.

And the worst part is, after playing their time wasting game, say if your scored an offer letter from somewhere else, they will say that this wasn't disclosed or said during the discussion. 
They should understand that if they are wasting a month of an employee on the pretext of "waiting from business for reply", it can happen. 

If any other folks have faced same issue, please share.

I personally have made a decision that if and when i do hiring or am part of hiring process, will try to be as transparent as possible and give answer atleast in a week's time to any candidate.

IBs taking forever to answer

Happy almost Halloween! What have been your most horrific experiences at work? 

I’ll go first. My manager went on a week long holiday, all the while not replying to texts or calls and came back and yelled at me for going on without his approval :__

Job horror stories

I developed an API that basically took inputs from a webform and loaded it into Salesforce (I have oversimplified here).  
 While testing , one of the fields was "website", I simply typed "www.rk.com" which were the initials of my pet doggo. 
 The test went well, data got loaded into Salesforce. 
 I then get pinged by the multiple people that rk.com is a porn site and multiple people while verifying the test results ended up clicking on the link and got flagged by the IT security team for watching porn on office laptop🤣 . 
  
 It was an honest mistake nonetheless, but very horrifying for me🙈

Today is a holiday?

Do people have holidays or WFH today due to elections in Bangalore.

Holiday today?

This is to bring into notice that we have been asked to work on Diwali day and following weekend just bcoz the client has planned sone data migration to production. Is it fair by company management to ask their resources to work on such festivals. People earn to celebrate such moments with family. Why can't they push a bit n do this the next weekend. We have been working long hours n weekends for the project already. But asking us to even work on Diwali is just too much. EY SERIOUSLY NEEDS A BETTER WORK CULTURE!!!

But isn’t that with newsrooms too? And a lot of blue collar roles and essential services? 
 Plus, businessmen and hawkers, or farmers don’t have offs. 
  
 Is corporate culture taking things a notch too high? 
  
 While toxic workplaces are condemnable, a friend pointed out and I do concur- people earning 4x the usual salary need to slog more, and some of them are fine with it. 
  
 If I wanted a relaxed life, I chose such a profession. Many of my friends have turned to freelancing. 
  
 Choose your hell. Complaining might not help!

Hello everyone! 

What this post is: a place to hang around and chat just about anything - without having a specific topic to discuss.
Think of it like the watercooler at your office.

Look forward to hearing from you all!

Haryana, MP and Chhattisgarh have declared holidays for schools and government offices currently.
Do you think a further official notice from other states can be expected for corporates as well?
