Every time I go on leave, Politics happens at the office.

I work in a senior role at a small sized bootstrapped company. Due to health reasons, I have had to take multiple WFHs and Medical Leaves. In the past 3 months, these things have happened during my physical absence at the office:

  1. Communicated to my team member that he is doing well and hence getting a surprise hike in compensation. I'm happy for him but I was working on his hike for the past several months and I lost the opportunity to announce it. The leadership was slacking on it for months and immediately when I took leave they announced it.

  2. Full on micromanagement of my team bypassing me is now a daily affair.

  3. Complementing my team for successes and blaming me for failures.

I have spent well over 10y in Corporate India. Isn't all this super toxic?

Empty vessels make the most noise. Would suggest that you start looking for better roles

Didn't exactly get the full context due to Hinglish - sorry I am not conversant in that. But I got your point - I need to start searching for new roles. Thanks
