Way to survive in industry

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

How do you navigate toxic peers and environment?

Hey, it's been almost 2 months in my new job being a 2024 graduate, I was very excited to be joining corporate and being able to work on projects that will solve real world problems but all that glamour has since faded away, the learning curve has been pretty steep which is not a problem but people around me are quite toxic af like saying things in a sarcastic way for not knowing stuff, micro managing things and expecting me to deliver high quality results without even proper training. I now understand why people value work life balance so much, for I have been putting long long hours just to get the work done I'm talking like till 2-3 in the morning, now part of it is also me not fully knowing the work but then again my seniors aren't supportive at all, when I have a question their reaction is mostly like "yrr you can't even do this". I have been doubting myself so much since then and my abilities, feeling really depressed about work and life and don't know if it will get better. I have come to the point where I am even thinking of resigning because of lack of support structure, my parents and relatives are all trying to console me and honestly it feels good to have them around me but then again it's getting too much for me and if things do keep like this I would have to prioritise my health and mental health and quit from here. I never thought that the threshold will come so early but it has, maybe I only have few weeks worth of patience left in me. Really need to turn my life around, I will start applying for jobs on the side to see if something better comes up, preferably with atleast a decent work life balance. I know it might sound like a rant but I'm feeling exhausted and it's not even been 2 months properly in my joining. How do I navigate this?

Office Gossip on

Private company

The Curse of Corporate

I joined Synkrama Technologies Private Limited with enthusiasm, inspired by a positive and supportive environment. Initially, the atmosphere seemed promising, and I was motivated to contribute to the team. However, as time went on, I faced numerous challenges that profoundly impacted my professional and personal well-being. Early in my tenure, I was appointed as a Team Lead on several projects. This role, though a significant opportunity, came with immense pressure from our CEO, KJ. The expectation was to meet deadlines at any cost, which led to continuous mental stress. Under his directives, I inadvertently became a source of pressure for my colleagues , AN , and AB and other major colleagues . This created a strained and uncomfortable working environment for all of us as i used to put pressure on them on the influence of Karan Jain The situation worsened as I found myself working through weekends and even during leaves, resulting in severe mental exhaustion. Despite these efforts, new developers were hired, and I was sidelined. This period was particularly tough, leading to depression and sleepless nights. After enduring this for several months, I decided to resign from my position. Unexpectedly, KJ contacted me, urging me to withdraw my resignation. He assured me that the previous issues would be resolved and praised my contributions. Reluctantly, I decided to stay, hoping for a positive change. However, the company's environment continued to pose challenges. We were subjected to screen monitoring via Team Logger, where management frequently questioned my idle time. Despite my high productivity and efficiency, I was often scrutinized for taking breaks or assisting colleagues, which is essential for maintaining a collaborative workspace. Most recently, a significant and distressing event occurred, further affirming my decision to share my experience publicly. itā€™s crucial to address and bring awareness to the toxic practices that can affect employeesā€™ mental health and overall well-being. I hope my story encourages organizations to foster genuinely supportive environments and prioritize the mental health of their employees. source: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/rutvik-borad-12409b19b_theabrcurseabrofabrcoprorate-activity-7199762667471839233-3wyR
