I am so frustrated by observing how some Indian startup founders have been mistreating employees. This is happening literally in all the startups and corporates.
Many of us invest their precious time and money obtaining degrees, only to become corporate employees.
India won the WC on Saturday night, and since then, I have seen numerous rant posts from people complaining that they missed this moment because they were overworked.
The rate of employee exploitation is alarmingly high, as founders often believe they have alot of options and are driven by their greed for money.
Look at the plight of startups, the top management says they do not have money so they lay off the whole departments without any prior notice. Yet they spend so lavishly on showing investors or on their socials how cool they all are.
We are bloody engineers, not their family bound slaves. Why do we suffer ?
I believe it is high time that we establish a union for employees working in the IT industry. This exploitative culture needs to come to an end.
Me too mate, suffered a lot. Willing to participate in and support any collective initiatives

Its 250 families bro we are taking about.
In my opinion, yes, there is a certain level of exploitation happening.
