Just wanted to know why and how come our companies have horrible WLB and cultures compared to western counterparts. Is it the fault of the employees for accepting whatever and acting like sheep or is it just the mindset of the senior management to treat their subordinates the same horrible way they were treated as some sort of sick rite of passage ?
Because our society thinks job and money is everything you have to achieve in life and society thinks the goal of education is to get a job and earn money. There is no scope for other hobbies and other things to do in life which in turn making us work only for money. So when our goal is making money we Indians are ready for a shitty WLB and project the same on everyone else
Because South Asians are extremely petty. An avg. guy/girl, who have gotten to position with or without hardwork wants to display power in the most pettiest way.
This, “because I worked hard, so should you” mantra of genx/millennials
Simply because in India there would be waiting 10 people happily ready to swap positions with you with lesser pay.
Poor country with millions in line for jobs. Why would companies try to improve wlb when they can exploit you for more profits? The government.rules don't help either.
Someone who thinks work and life are not in a balance should find some other work which they love doing and still earn and enjoy at the same time. Or do your work in such a way that it runs without you having to work so much or for long hours.
I think the major problem is when companies go public and have shareholder money they tend to maximise their profits at the expense of both the customer and the employee.
The employee will never feel the same way the founder does for the organisation as they don’t have much skin in the game as the former does. So it’s kinda weird how they expect them to put in the same dedication especially when the culture becomes toxic day by day.
The final issue is how the senior employees especially the ones who are the management lackeys pay no heed to what their subordinates tell them and the cycle keeps continuing which means this loop will never end and the rat race will kill you before you even start.
Hi all,
I felt that in recent 3-5 years the working culture and forced work are increasing in India due to stress, demotivation, and frequent change of jobs happening.
Any proper solution to unite and we raise it to the right platform...
I've had the fortune of having worked in 3 countries so far. India is by far the most exciting place to be in 2024. But there's something about our work ethic that just concerns me. In both white and blue collar.

Indian managers will make the work culture toxic even if they are in good international companies. Indian branches of the same company will be shity because of these insecure managers.
That Saar Mudum really hit chord! 😅
I am working at an European company. Previously my manager was non Indian. Some re org happened, and I got an Indian manager.

How many of you actually only work 9-5? Do you get paid for overtime? Is Indian corporate culture disconnected from the 40-hour workweek belief?
Total disconnect... most of us do not work 40Hrs a week -every week.. sometimes its 60hrs some times its 20.. but the...
