Neha from Clear Tax

Software Developer

So I shifted companies from one where I was pretty much your Harvey Specter to my current organisation where idk what they’re doing with me. Pretty sure the intern there does more meaningful work than me. 

I only switched cause the previous organisation was sinking and it was advised all of us jump ships before it gets too late. Sacrificed a position change and still stuck in the same role I was slogging my ass off for the last 1.5 Years. 

The current organisation promised us a lot before we got in and after we joined we realised that a known devil was better than an unknown angel. 75% of the team quit in 2 months and what was now a team of 75 has prob shrunk to a 100 with a lot of people moving down a role. Me on the other hand they have just put me on failing program to the next without any clear idea or direction and they don’t take or implement any suggestion that I give. 

Don’t know what to do and feeling really frustrated as this was supposed to be the “next step” in my career but now it feels like the whole damn staircase has fallen apart. Planning to put down my papers tomorrow and just become another second gen trust fund baby looking after his family business as I don’t think I can waste more years in this corporate rat race.

I am interested in a company but the salary range is a little low. 

Should I apply and ask the recruiter for a salary increase? (The salary range is the same as what I am currently earning so it doesn't make sense for me to switch for the same salary).

PS: I can easily make it into the role.

Can I ask for a higher salary?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I would like to say that Indian firms have made a joke out of critical titles such as Chief of Staff! 🤷‍♂️

In big tech; CoS is an extremely critical & cutthroat leadership role, equivalent to a Sr. Director but here anyone can be CoS at 4-5 yoe. 😅

Recently a similar folks applied for the role of L8 & recruiter pointed out that he is CoS & graduated in 2018. 

What do you think?

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I want to share my experience as a fresher at Accenture, my first company from a college placement. The first six months were fine, but then I faced severe mental harassment from my supervisor and manager. She constantly criticized my work and gave negative feedback, causing me immense stress. I often skipped meals and worked weekends to improve, but nothing helped.

Despite reporting the issue and requesting a supervisor change or a different track, my requests were ignored. The harassment worsened, affecting my physical health, and I couldn't eat or sleep properly. My manager controlled trivial aspects like where to sit and whom to talk to, making the situation unbearable. I was even forced to switch from a developer role to a tester, despite being trained as a developer.

The final straw was being placed on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) without a clear reason, with the same harassing individuals assessing me. I only had 1.9 years of experience then. I reported the mental harassment to HR and resigned due to deteriorating health, panic attacks, and weight loss. Despite having no other job offer, I couldn't continue. Even during my notice period, I was forced to complete PIP assignments, which led to suicidal thoughts and further health issues.

Now, I am jobless, feeling helpless and frustrated. With less than 2 of experience, I struggle to find offers in a down IT market and don't know what to do next.

My Experience as Fresher with Workplace Harassment and Forced Resignation at Accenture

Put the same on LinkedIn and tag the bloody manager.

Team Lead

I'm joining a new place next week. 
This is after serving a month's notice.

Should I say send some mail to hiring manager, just checking if they remember me (🤐) or probably asking on details I would need on first day.

Haven't done like this before, because generally the phone numbers are shared. Here I have only mail ids (and social media handles)

Communication before joining

Consultant

Work culture has become ultra toxic. Managers have started nano managing and literally are a pain in the ass. Product giving unrealistic timelines and leadership agreeing on the same without even consulting the developers and even if the developers are raising concerns, no fucks are given infact they are made to realise that this is how a startup should work. Literally everyone is working their asses off and still unable to meet the deadlines. Empathy is completely lost and WLB is a sham. People including me want to switch but are not even getting time to prepare.

Rant on Swiggy wlb

This is all trickling down from the Leadership, they are trying to cut down costs by any means. Already had one round of layoffs, now they are doing silent layoffs in the form of PIPs. 
  
 Also, Leaders have lost the long term focus and are trying to find out more and more short term projects related to profitability.  
  
 There was always this pressure of work, but in the past 7-8 months this has become unbearable with no empathy in the organisation.

Publicis sapient causing delay for new joinee

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Director of the firm is threatening that if I take a leave, he will ruin my career.

TLDR: Due to some family commitments, I applied for a 4 day leave and my director rejected, I have to go bc it's really important and I conveyed the same to him. He said that if I take the leave, he will fire me and ensure that there are strong negative remarks citing that I'm an indisciplined employee ruining my future employability prospectus.


So I work in this startup and it's been close to a year. Due to certain reasons I was working from home in the month of November (this was discussed with the management and they granted the same). In December, due to certain reasons, I had to take two days due to medical reasons (we don't have a sick leave policy so I had to use my PLs). 

This commitment is extremely important for my family and hence I need to be present, due to the job I have barely gotten the time to attend any family events bc of their work culture and their you-cannot-use-your-leaves-if-the-reason-is-not-serious.

After I applied for the leaves, I went ahead and spoke to my manager for the same to which she said she doesn't have any issue but the leaves are always approved by the director (I think this is micromanagement). I went ahead and then spoke to the director since I had to make reservations for the same and my director straight up rejected my request. I mentioned the reason in quite detail and to which the management mentioned that they will think about it. 

A couple of days later, I went to meet the upper management for the same and the final decision was that they cannot sanction leaves bc I was wfh the entire November and I took a couple of days off in December (The leaves I'm asking here are the ones which one can take in a calendar year, I didn't ask for anything above what has been mentioned). I further mentioned that it's really important for me to be there and I will have to go to which my director mentioned that if I go, the management will fire me o

Analyst 

Context: 10.5 YOE, Marketing lead. I've been looking for a switch since September last year. I'd seen signs of maybe my role or the company itself folding very early and knew 'twas time to bolt. But it's not that easy. Back then - 1 year in a startup meant hey not bad, people still spoke to you and considered your profile. These days, they treat you like Ebola if you've not had your ass stuck in the same place for 3-5 years. 

Anyway, so the majority of my time searching for jobs was the shitty Easy Apply or IIMJOBS premium account route. Suprise suprise. It doesn't work. But hey I was still employed and not nearly as motivated as someone who's unemployed. 

Cut to layoffs: Got laid off with my whole team and a huge chunk of other leaders. My first layoff, felt hilariously like the last day of school. To the org's credit they gave us 3 month severance, leave encashments and extra months for those who'd been there for 2 years+. In hindsight hearing the horror stories of 2k severance from Byju's. I'm grateful for the nice golden parachute I got. I'll be honest, it contributed heavily to my mental stability. I had time, I had leverage, I didn't have to run for the first shitty opportunity that came my way. 

The How I did it (why you struggled through the above stream of consciousness) 

- Wrote to 159 founders with one pagers to 35 of them with ideas on how i'd lead their marketing function. 5 replies. 3 interviews. 2 offers - didn't take em cuz they were super early stage or diff cities. This is immediately in month 1 so I've already started feeling icky about not getting great brands to have in my set. 
- Easy Applied to 768 (I ran a Gmail search, this is a real number) jobs. 99% no responses or you've been rejected. 
-Kept changing one letter on my Naukri.com profile, got me 6 calls, 3 interviews and 1 conversion 

I think theres a word limit to posts 🥲 following up as comments below.

Finally got a job (here's the do's and dont's)

Part 3 
  
 - Add HRs and hiring managers on LinkedIn, send them free ideas and strategies. Its ok if they steal them it meant they were great. One of them will refer you, remember you or hire you. 
 - Have a CV and a summary (half a page) that gets people excited about wanting to read the CV. Only areas of expertise and bullet points for results  
 - Don't put the OpentoWork filter on your LinkedIn DP. Its radioactive. I know people actively avoid those profiles. But make sure to keep open to work beacon on for recruiters. It pushes you ahead  
 - Dont post low effort i need a job because im laid off, i dont have money, copy pasted by millions on Linkedin. If you're gonna publically ask for a job, make sure that post has enuff of your skillset screaming for a potential hirer to want to explore more. Else you'll get velle gadhe typing CFBR 
 - Dont be anal or choosy about interviewing, i literally gave 35-50 in 3 months that culminated in 4 offers. Each one taught me something, heck ive spoken to startups with 7 peeps in it  
 - The only one that can negotiate CTC is the one that can walk away. When the offer i wanted finally came, my fixed went down a tad, but variable increased. The role was worth it so i didnt bother negotiating. Places i wasnt excited about - oh i quoted 30% hikes and got it at one place :p

Brand Marketing Manager

In Deloitte USI it is not mandatory to go to office. Maybe once in a week. What is the situation in E&Y?

Work from home

As the title suggests, I often wonder what is the natural progression for people who join startups in Chief of Staff or even Founder's office roles? Do they move to a specialized vertical internally? Or do they move to other startups in CoS roles? Or they do their own venture (I like to believe this is still less likely). Have this thought because a lot of Tier 1 MBA, MBB consultant profiles have been moving to these roles and it really makes me wonder what path would the careers of these top talents take?
