I was raised abroad and I always thought there’s something called annual leaves where you take PTO for a month apart from your sick / casual leaves. However I started working in India and damn when TF do people have time to do things apart from coming to office and getting burnt out?
Cos we have more people who are willing to work for these policies than we have available jobs... Demand supply
Yeah. Unfortunately we’re to blame in a way for this too I guess. Due to our fucked up population size were in condition to make demands to improve all this I guess.
If not you someone else will take it up for an even less lucrative offer.
It's about choice... You have the option to choose not to go with the flow and put your foot down. And take the consequences... Or make yourself so good at your job that companies agree... I've known both types
One of the reasons I don’t like India.
(calm down trolls it’ll make sense)
We have adopted this slave mentality or cheap labor mentality where we do so much for the bare minimum and we let the ones on top get away with it.
Some might say we can’t do anything cause some people don’t have a choice. We do have a choice. Might be hard and we might lose on the short run but things have got to change.
Right from your barbaric notice periods to the policies that don’t let you have a WLB.
Not everyone has the comfort of rejecting an offer just because they don't like the terms. Harsh reality my friend.
Yeah I get what you mean. However the change has to start from somewhere right ?
Unfortunately it’s become a standard for organisations to follow this system that we can’t even leave one and go to another which offers this.
I have 45 days earned leave and 40 days sick leave carried over from the previous years.
Entirely depends on the company.
They should make this a standard as part of Labor Laws or something that an employee is entitled to a PTO of 30 days apart from their casual leaves or earned leaves etc…
Would really reduce the burnout and improve the productivity imo as right now we’re nothing more than daily wage labourers sitting behind computers in AC rooms.
I work in India and we have a super chill leave policy. Can take tons of PTO along with a decent number of sick leaves. Don’t need managers approval either, just need to inform your team.
I am interviewing with an early stage startup in Gurgaon. As part of their leave policy, they offer only annual leaves which you earn at a certain rate every month. They do not offer any sick leaves or casual leaves to employees. Is that...
People working remotely for companies outside India, could you please share your leave policies.
I wanted to understand what is the standard leave policy. How many sick leaves, annual leaves etc are given.
What is the reality of these unlimited pto/leave policy that companies have, I'm unaware as i am a fresher. Also which companies offer remote roles and unlimited leaves/PTO in india? do comment if you know or are in one!
My manager who is a European is going on a leave for 1 month now + 1 month in December + 15 days of official holidays and here I am hesitant to take a leave for even 1 day even when sick.
Did you face this hesitation and how did you han...
