Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Oh, that co-worker, ek number ka chalak,
Micro-manager banke, udta hai bakbak.
Chor ko dhundte, chhod dete apna kaam,
Unki efficiency, hai bas ek naam.

Chashm-e-baddoor, har kadam pe,
Nigahein jaise ho satellite pe.
Magar kaam ka jadoo, kahaan gaya bhai?
Unki samajh, bas dhoka si hai.

Chaturai ke geet, gungunaate phire,
Jaise unmein hai gyan ki aag bharke.
Par paradoks, kitna pyara sa,
Unki koshish, bas mazaak ki dastaan.

Office ka raaj, unke haath mein hai,
Khauf ka raja, nafrat ka samraaj hai.
Oh, woh saathi, kya hi kamaal ka,
Unki galatfahmi mein, khoyi hui hai roshni ki misaal.


TMKB for all of those Co-workers ! (🤡)

Are companies willing to give wfh because of water scarcity in Blr?? Did you guys hear anything from your companies?

Is there any proposition of wfh because of water scarcity in Blr?

HRs in my company are so woke they've now added gender neutral washrooms. Already have a feeling this will become a new makeout spot for office couples.

Woke HRs

Product Manager

Got an offer as an sde, wanting to know about any red flags, working hours, facilities in office, flexibility for wfh etc

How is the work culture at the Cars24 gurugram office?

How many companies still have 6 days working? I am in robotics/manufacturing in MSME, I have a 6 day Workweek, is it a general trend in manufacturing or general trend in MSME?

My manager messaged in the group that today we can do WFH. But I have muted that group and didn’t saw it, and now I’m sitting in this empty office. Dispression ho rha hai bros 😐

Came to office when there is WFH 🥲

Kal phir office 🤬

I am just frustrated of office Couples. Doing Couples goals in front of me. What should I do now.

External Audit

Let me show you something, this is how these companies are treating their employees even in a full time remote role, they think if they hire someone and give them salary they can make them do whatever they want. One of my friends is working in some MNC and they are pushing their work hours everyday single day like 5-6 hours like its no big deal that too with no compensation/flexi leaves, one day they sent this link of Google meet 11:30 am to 5:30 am (18 hours) and then they starting doing this everyday, its like we were practically living at work, with bosses expecting them to pull 18-hours shifts like it's no big deal. And when he finally spoke up about it, they accused him of not being flexible enough. So, when the project was finished they laid him off by saying that he is not flexible n all, How can anyone flexible of working 18 or 15 or 12 hours. This kind of toxicity is happening even in big companies.
Remote role doesn't mean that you will sit on my head , make me join some 18 hour meet link and then do the tasks while being in the meeting so that the PM can interrupt me whenever he feels like it with his idiotic comment of:
"is it done"?

😅 Owner increased the rent by 15k to meet the market. They expect bachelor's to pay up or exit. 55k is the new price for 3bhk in a 15 year old society. When will the bubble burst? Is everyone making 40-50 lakhs?

Are your owners kicking you out for rised prices?

Am I the only one who likes working from office (Bengaluru)? I go to office every day, and it helps me to be more productive.

- There will be no distractions
- Team mates will be around, and if there is any queries, I can straight away ask them rather than typing a message or setting up a call
- Occasional chit chats
- Having lunch together
- being a part of all the conversations happening
- Managers works from office - a good rapport with him as well

- Free food
- Free Transport (can mates - another plus point)
- Good work set-up

- Meet new people almost every day
- Build/deepen real connections every day
- Interact with folks starting from entey level to senior directors or VPs regularly (L1 - L9 is the range mentioned here)


FYI: I moved to Bengaluru for work, although I've the option to work completely remote. 

One of my team member even mentioned that he has not yet been able to connect with the team member who has joined before me, like how he could connect with me.

I understand that once people have family, it will be difficult to manage everything. One of my team mate actually mentioned that, he used to do/manage everything properly before Covid, but it's kind of not easy/lazy since Covid.

I also realise that not everyone has the above perks, but still. 

Commute can be an issue. I travel 50+ KMs every day to and fro. I start by 7 am in the morning to morning traffic, and take around 75 minutes in the evening (I can survive the traffic without having to use my mobile 😂)

I do miss my family frequently, but I do have the flexibility to go home and stay a few days when I want. Staying alone in a service apartment is the only disadvantage as of now.

As I'm entering a new stage of life, I'm starting to reevaluate my career priorities. In my 20s, I was all about climbing the ladder and chasing prestige. Now, I'm more focused on finding work that aligns with my values and allows for a balanced lifestyle. 

Have any of you gone through a similar shift? How did it change your career trajectory? And how do you define success for yourself now versus when you first started out?

Redefining success: How have your career priorities shifted as you've grown older?

Man, this hits home. I used to be all about the fancy title and corner office. Pulled 80-hour weeks, missed family events, the whole rat race thing.

Then my dad got sick last year. Spent a lot of time in hospitals, thinking about what really matters. Realized I couldn't remember the last time I took a real vacation or had dinner with my kids without checking emails.

Ended up taking a step back at work. Less pay, but more flexibility. You know what? I don't miss the stress. Sure, the ego took a hit at first, but I'm actually enjoying work now. Plus, I'm finally learning my kids' friends' names!

Success for me now? It's about having time for the people I love and work that doesn't make me dread Mondays. Still figuring it out, but dekhte hain baaki :)

I'm very frustrated with the behaviour of one of my coworker. Need to teach him a lesson that he will remember for rest of his life.

He's male, I'm also male. 
We are at same designation.

I want to teach my coworker a lesson. (Game bajana hai). Give me ideas.

Thoughts on this

A friend just got married and he didn't invite anyone from his current employer.

I am just wondering if such a decision can negatively impact one's relationship with their employer

Did you / Will you invite your boss for your wedding?

Can we organise a party wherein all big 4 employees can come and meet?
Won’t it be great?

Maybe we can meet someone??

Internal Audit

Hi guys, new to Grapevine and I have seen this as a common point here, on Reddit & Twitter than Indian software engineers actively hate in-office work on social media

Trying to understand why is that so. All of my college mates have joined in-office & most preferred that as well. I myself had a terrible learning experience in my remote intern & have had much more success in our startup when we are all together

I understand the pros of remote work, but why is the negative sentiment so strong suddenly? Is this a niche group echoing this
