For me 2024 was hard because this is the first time I got laid off from any job. But that happened in March. I was already in another job by June and now have a good scene going to all good 👍 But the layoff and the job finding sucked
A fake POSH case. I escalated against a girl who literally did no work. Next week, HR called me on POSH allegations that I made proposal to that girl & since she denied, I'm taking revenge. She shared fake screenshot of some chat. I was suspended for 15 days before finally I could come clean & the girl got suspended. I was on the verge of killing myself
I was fired in the beginning of 2024. Felt very bad, depressed and anxious. I had worked my ass off for this job, was literally treated like a slave by my boss who sits in the US. He is an Indian American who has no respect for India and openly abuses the country infront of everyone, even though he grew up here and has his parents here. I literally did a lot of free work, hired new comers and even trained the new comers hired at my level, and even monitored them for a while, all this at the same junior level pay. Then one fine morning, I was called in and let go. I realised the new employees were my replacements and the management had planned my firing a long time ago.
After getting fired, I did all the things I wanted to do in my new free time, all those things I was postponing due to work commitments. Got my dream job after 9 months, a job that I wanted to do since many years but could not due to my skill set. After I was fired I took the time out to gain those skills and finally I landed in my dream industry and dream job.
Oh god. Your ex boss and company sound like a terrible bunch of people. Honestly GV doesn’t allow this but I want to use the word: a##hole. Good riddance
Cool stuff tho that you got the dream job and industry eventually. That’s what’s most important.
What I learned from your experience is that critical process should never be shared.
Not personally, but seeing a two close friends face anxiety issues due to work. Made me realize the cost of all of it. And made me want to take a step back personally.
We've really started overthinking about what we do. Of course, it's important too.
But I genuinely feel many successful people actually ENJOY what they do and that helps them keep going.
Ah man that’s a dark and sad area. Work certainly affects our mental health so much ://
Manager, who is of different ethnicity (indian), forced me to resign to promote and breed their same ethnic group.
Though I was performing well, manager isolated me by assigning new projects. They forcefully created a toxic environment. I eventually moved to a different team for the peace of my mind.
