I'm feeling sad in corporates

So I left my job at one of the big 4s few months ago. Will discuss the reason some other time. But one of the issues I'm facing right now is that I never felt good in the corporate environment. Bosses shouting at you for your mistakes, you feel threatened to stand up against your own boss since they unfortunately have too much power.

You need to take permission for leaves. People can be rude to you and you need to maintain your calm. The corporate politics.

Then I left big 4 for some reasons. Took a short break.

And now I'm working in one of the Indian firms. They have such policies that your TAT cannot be more than 5 minutes. You cannot log off before 8 pm. If you login after 5 minutes of the actual login time, then you would be marked as absent. Sometimes you're given deadlines which are very difficult to manage and hence you remain stressed out with your work. You don't have the freedom in your work and need to do everything as it has been told.

So I don't really feel good in corporates. I feel there is too much pressure and it is just making me feel more and more sad. I don't feel myself anymore and I feel like a puppet.

Does anyone else feel the same? How do I deal with this feeling? It scares me to think about how I have just started my career 3-4 years ago and need to work for the significant years of my life and I don't want to wake up and sleep with this feeling EVERYDAY.

I think this is the first time I'm talking about it. If anyone would like to share their thoughts, or guide me regarding how do I feel better, or anything you feel I'm doing wrong and could be improved, then I'm all ears. Let's talk it out.
