Work environment will never be great. If it is great, the path has no growth.work is competition and fight for resources. 
People who are loosing this war, feel the stress. A winner never complains.

Sounds like you've consumed too much of the slop pushed by people benefiting from toxic work environments

1. Never compromise on ds/algo practice and design. You should get time every week for this.
2. Never trust any company and don't settle
3. Company can replace you anytime. HR just need to float job and hundreds of applicant will apply whereas if you need to find a job you first have to grind LC and design and then you will get ready. This makes a uneven situation.
4. You are not replaceable for your family, friends and loved ones

Benefits of working in toxic or too much work environment
1. Learning
2. A little better payscale
3. Close peer group of colleague 

Cons 
1. You won't get time for practice your interview skills so you would have hard time cracking interviews
2. High pressure can leads to high stress that can lead to less growth in long run and burn out. Once you burn out, your Employer attitude may change
3. You would not have time for your friends and family. You may even lose your social circle. Whereas the colleague group that you would form would start to fade away once you leave that place.
4. It would form a unbalanced relationship where you are more dependent on your Employer and won't be able to do much even if you get less increment or other issues
5. You would not have time for investment or growing your wealth. Your long term wealth is not how much you earn it is how much you have(savings + growth on saving)

What to do if you feel you join such company
- find opportunities and get out in initial days or probation period. You can wipe out that experience from your resume
- Contact the companies you had offer from and ask them to reconsider if they can

What to do if you are stuck in such company
- do a little less work and start preparing. Once you are little confidence start doing lesser work and look for opportunities. At this point in time you don't have to fear them much. Firing is pretty common now 
- Be aware of your rights in worst case as per employment agreement

Way to survive in industry

Software Architect

So, me and my good friend were casually discussing how crazy the job market is and how we are unable to get into a good job, especially when she has over 3YoE and is really good at frontend web development.

She then casually asked me "Should we be really trying this hard to get into a job that we like, as I feel that AI will take over a big part of the IT workforce in the next 5 years?"

Though we did have a friendly argument, I strongly believe that it still needs more time than that bcz IT jobs, especially we developers, are not just limited to coding. And given the fact that OpenAI is learning off of GitHub repos, which are basically code examples are averagely written code, not well written proficient ones. 

But, in General, what do you think about AI and how it is gradually dominating the IT sector ?

Do you really think AI will take over in the next 5 years ?

Does anyone else feel workplaces are becoming more and more toxic by each passing day? I feel software engineers are not valued as much as they used to be once upon a time.

Toxic work environment

I understand different things matter to different people. I thought it would be interesting to understand the consensus on some bare basic requirements that make up a healthy workplace.

What is important to you in a company's work-culture?

Intern

How do you deal with extreme work pressure and a toxic working environment.
I'm just done with my current company the culture is so toxic that people are leaving left and right. Dev's are working even on weekends and are denied leave. If anybody raises their voice then disciplinary action mails are used as a threat.
Office politics and salaries getting hold. 
It came to a point I'm ready to resign without any offer in my hand and maybe Month's carrier break to work on myself and keep myself sane.

I want to know how you keep yourself sane and keep up with this shit show. 🙏

Work culture

Scrum Master

I know a lot of people love working from home. But small rant here. 
Honestly, straight out of college I thought I would do too. But no, I absolutely do not.

Why? 
1. No personality development. It's honestly like an online college all over again (1/2 of my college "life" was online). I talk to a screen, waste a lot of time otherwise. 

2. I don't have a room to call my own. I know this is going to make me sound like a privileged brat but I need my privacy to feel my full confident self. My family members are always on top of my head and spy on me during work. No they really do.

3. I hate, absolutely LOATHE approaching people on teams. I'm more social, confident and comfortable working in an offline setting be it presenting something or talking to senior folks in general. 

4. I have NO life outside of the computer/home. My hobbies, interests everything are inside the tiny room I share with my parents. I still have 2 different desks (which are literally next to each other) for work and personal stuff respectively. When I had offline semesters, it was really awesome as I had balance.

I graduated in 2023 and of course I have a lot to learn, but I'm seriously thinking about searching for another job that's not WFH. I'm still early career and I think I should not be working remote. Am I stupid?

I cannot work remotely.

Work from home is hellish for extroverts. There is no alternative. I've tried co-working spaces. But nothing beats the actual office experience. 
  
 If you're young, go to office and build your network.

And are there signs somebody could pick up even before joining?

People who work in a toxic work culture, what are some stories that you can share?

Corporate Strategist

Companies are asking employees to return to office. What are some options for people willing to continue WFH?

I know:
- Headout
- Razorpay
- Hotstar

WFH options

It can be either a strange workplace policy, an altercation with a manager or absolutely anything else.

What's the most toxic incident you've come across at your workplace?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hi , this post is intended to be a disclaimer to anyone who is planning to join Yubi. A lot of things are happening here that show some signs of an impending layoff

1) Several senior folks in tech and product have quit. Also there is no replacement hiring planned for them. Several projects are also getting shelved as a result.

2) there were several open roles a few weeks back and almost all of them are on hold as of now across all depts( tech , business , ops)

3) rampant cost cutting. The lunch options have been reduced to just 1 dal , 1 veg , rice and chapati.  Snacks have been removed too.


Because of several folks quitting in less than 6 months and no replacement hiring , load has increased tremendously on existing members who are themselves trying to leave. 

People have serious doubts on whether any hike or bonus will be given or not this year.

Toxicity at workplace reaching a whole different level

What is the most toxic thing u encountered at work?

Product Designer

Open offices are a scam, designed to save space for companies, and violate our privacy (I wanna hide and work/scroll Instagram)

Am I the only one who would prefer offices that looked like this?

Recently McKinsey employee committed suicide. Now, CAM partner berating three bright associates for doing a job right because the partners looked like idiots.

Fuck your seniority. GenZ believes in meritocracy.

Leaks: Shocking email sent by Partner berating Associates for doing right job.

email sounds right to me, looks like a senior calling out mediocrity 
  
 maybe talking to them in person and in a professional way would have been better, but still LGTM

Most workplaces are like this. It’s all facade.

Product Manager

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.
