WFH Jugaad

For context: Weekends are off. So just fri WFH. This is a Series B startup. I am not even asking for a leave but WFH for just 1 day. I joined recently. The only thing I did wrong was possibly informing a little too late. Want to get opinion if I am overthinking or this classifies as toxic culture in startups where you are expected to push limits above and beyond regularly and sometimes weekends. ---

Hi all, Recently, my father passed away. I have been working at TCS Kolkata Gitanjali park since 2021, and my salary is around 25k. Now, I have to take care of my home. I live in a PG in Kolkata, for which I pay 7k per month. It will be very difficult for me to manage my home and live in Kolkata on a 25k salary. I asked my manager and HR to grant me WFH, but they refused. They said they would release me from the project. I am trying to apply to other companies, but I am not getting any offers. If any of you have suggestions or can help, please let me know. Thank you.

Guys if someone has same experience want you to share such here. My office made work from office hybrid in a week but wants everyone to report office every week atleast twice. However they made a exception thar if you have some problem you can do wfh entirely. There were two cases There was a newly married women collegue who wants wfh entirely as she has the problem of shifting to new city alone. Then there is me who has been recovering from a leg fracture. Asking for a extension as commuting to office and doing self chores will be a problem alone in a new city. In both these cases the first person got the work from home extension . And me commuting office with 1.5 legs every day. How these justify a equality in work place???

I work in WITCH. There's literally 0 dependency on me at the moment. I emailed HR asking for temp wfh for a few days as I am suffering from some a bit long-term pain (not so much) I already used leaves as I was hospitalised in the same episode. manager does not have much say as it is the HR taking the decision. I sent my medical reports (8-10 tests) along with an email request. it's been 2 business days, but there's absolutely no reply whether I'll get it or not! not even a single fucking acknowledgement. what should I do next?

Me : I am not feeling well and have asked for sick leave. Manager : Okay but is this a genuine sick leave? I was pissed off after I saw this question and What are your views on this guys 😏?

Companies are asking employees to return to office. What are some options for people willing to continue WFH? I know: - Headout - Razorpay - Hotstar

I'm currently working from home . My office is also very near to where I stay. I have got an offer from another company , which is very far from my home and the recruiter is saying that you may have to come once in a while . My concern is that , how do I convince them to give me permanent work from home . Should I talk to the recruiter (HR) or should I directly talk to the senior most person (Director-who took the interview). Although once in a while is ok with me , but if the company tomorrow says that you have to come once in a week , then that will be a challenge for me . I want to grow in life but also can't leave my family . What should I do ?

Need help!! I asked early release from company. Notice period is 90 days but I want to leave in a month and willing to buyout notice period. But my manager is not approving. I have reason. I am relocating due to medical emergency in family and to take care of wellbeing of them. What should i do.? I am thinking to escalate issue to hire level but thinks that they are all supporting each other.

Hey folks Recently i got offerred for SSE role in MMT bangalore location. How is the work culture, work life balance in MMT. How about hikes , promotions ?? They say it's open work policy, what does this really means?? Is it 5 day work from office or hybrid work?

I resigned on 24th May from my current company. They have 2 months notice period. I asked them to reduce it to a month since I’m not in a good place mentally. My grandma (who’s like a parent to me) is really v. sick, she’s lying on her deathbed. So I want to shift back to my hometown and take care of her. I want to go asap. They didn’t hear me at all. And this job has given me so much stress, from past 4-5 days my bp got low, I had high fever. I sent them doctor’s slip. Even then this HR is saying you’ve to abide by the policy. And honestly I hate working here, since they have a tool based environment, that is not getting to my head. So now I’ve decided to not work at all. Since my health is also not that good. Is there any other way they can agree to reduce the notice period? Since I’m really tired of this. Also, I hope not working won’t do any harm.
