This is to bring into notice that we have been asked to work on Diwali day and following weekend just bcoz the client has planned sone data migration to production. Is it fair by company management to ask their resources to work on such festivals. People earn to celebrate such moments with family. Why can't they push a bit n do this the next weekend. We have been working long hours n weekends for the project already. But asking us to even work on Diwali is just too much. EY SERIOUSLY NEEDS A BETTER WORK CULTURE!!!
But isn’t that with newsrooms too? And a lot of blue collar roles and essential services? Plus, businessmen and hawkers, or farmers don’t have offs.
Is corporate culture taking things a notch too high?
While toxic workplaces are condemnable, a friend pointed out and I do concur- people earning 4x the usual salary need to slog more, and some of them are fine with it.
If I wanted a relaxed life, I chose such a profession. Many of my friends have turned to freelancing.
Choose your hell. Complaining might not help!

It seems you are comparing yourself(who owns a business) with a corporate employee you need more perspective and a little more intellect to bisect.
India is a land of slaves. Festivals are only for the Whites.
Should not be. We need to change this culture
Very difficult to fight this culture because MNCs know that if one employee refuses then the next one is ready to do that work even on festivals. Because the unemployment is very high and people are begging for jobs in the market.
This is a supply demand issue, there are 1000s of people ready to replace you with less pay and more work. As long as abundant candidates exist, exploitation will never stop.
This, same dialogue was received by my friend from a company's HR he was interviewing with, he refused the offer letter then and there
It is what it is man
Man, please don't let your managers do this to you. Here is how I see the situation, looking at this i believe you would not like to continue here for long and if that is the case then why let a manager ruin such a precious festival of yours.
Just be bold and say you won't be able to work as it's a special occasion for you and your family.
Only if people start realising their worth, this "culture" is going to change.
We just received a message on our company (Graphy by Unacademy) from our business head that, we should not come to him asking for 6-7 leave for Diwali. These are the employees who want to go back to there home town for the featival. Add...
My manager is asking me to be on-call on Diwali and has asked me to report in person. This is absolute stupidity. Although I will be compensated at 2.5x of my hourly pay but I would rather spend time with my family.
What should I do?...
Dunzo might be celebrating their last Diwali. So they ensuring to do everything they can to make it their best one. 😂
Yes you heard it right. It's for a company where most ex-Byju's folks have joined by parasite takeover(You can Search in linkedin). Ex Byju's folks aren't asked to do on call during that week because as per the company only they have a f...
