MNC companies treat their employees like slaves, people outside get excited by big companies and city lucrative buildings. It is better to have a small business with peace in a small town.

This is life of an average kid in India. Start Preparing for JEE/Pre Engineering Test from 10th grade Summer Vacation and then Survive in Engineering College for 4 years worrying about Campus Placement daily and then try to survive in a Job (if you get one) then worry about paying Rent :-) which can be increased anytime without regard to Inflation and the stress keeps on increasing. The worst part your Government Employee Father who never left your ancestral city will say this is part of life and hang up the phone :-) This is the story of 80% of my batchmates who finished engineering in year 2000. I can safely say all this after experiencing this for 24 years. Anybody who has seen 20+ years of Career can vouch for this or is an outlier in very large population of IT Guys in Bangalore and Hyderabad. Last if you are an IT employee for 20 years now you are worried about your kids going through the same grind 😬

One thing I would suggest, all of us should file a petition in Supreme court of India to take strict action against companies who treat people like a slave, makes them over work more than 9 hours it's high time.....

Never Share your emotions with people you work or else you will be in big trouble. Also Control your aspirations !!! The bigger the mortgage the bigger your slavery. Also be careful , Not Marrying and being alone can keep you away from some of the compromises you have to make. The narrative of a happy marriage and two kids have made several people slaves. So think about these commitments , or don't get married until you have 2-3 years of expenses saved for your rent, food , utilities etc. Then you will have flexibility to find a better job without being worried about job loss.

And then On behalf of all of this, some ignorant rich people who became rich due of other people's hard labor suggesting that an employee should work 70 hours each week

As an ex employee in HDFC group company, I want to give feedback to everyone not to work in any of its companies - HDFC bank, HDFC Ergo, HDFC life insurance. They have no value for their employees, and you have to work for long hours including on weekends when it is supposed to be a holiday. You appraisals and increments are miniscule compared to the industry standards.

That rude manager needs this video the most. Even he must have been shouted at.

If you resign without a offer they ask why did you resign? If some gap comes then they behave as if we went to jail

A much needed video. Thanks a lot Pavan. Very useful suggestions 👍

I worked with IDFC first bank in sales department. I will tell you the kind of pressure my boss has put. 1. Using bad words 2. Shouting infront of other team mates 3. He literally messages me at 10:30 pm regarding work 4. Even on holidays he never leaves me. On Sunday i went fir shower and he called me. After that i have seen his missed call and called back. He spoke to me so rudley and asked how long will you stay in bathroom. 5. During covid i left office at 11:30 pm and i travelled alone when roads are desserted 6. No safety for women over there.

Toxicity wil be more with AI plus we have to work till we die due to inflation so it will be worse rather tham getting better

Majority of cases are with migrant employees.

Its toxic breeds toxic. Toxic comes in all demographic. No need to bash any particular

Every Single Point that you spoke here is very much relatable to me as well !!! And now, I am so glad that I decided to take a break and concentrate on my mental and physical health over everything else !!!

I also had suicidal thoughts but some how mahadev gave me strength

Strange that GOI is not looking at this problem. By stopping regular extended hours, GOI can boost employment also.

Let me clear this to the population In India the work will never get over anyday because of the population. And The amendments and reforms in the backdated labour laws in corporates of the country is one of the main agenda for 2024 elections for the population. It needs reforms at earliest.

Thanks Pavan, you are bringing these kind of concerns towards us.

Insightful vedios ! Random thought : WHY GOI is not interfering and creating stricter policies in support of mental health, we have laws for physical damage done to a person. The need of the hour is to have similar rules for mental damages as well.

Main problem : Workers home / family demands from him to work bcz of financial / social reasons He doesn't want to work there because of toxic work culture Thus he finds no meaning for his life.

I was planning to switch my job, but now i think PSUs are still better than MNCs .. 🤔

Very true, quite relatable...

One thing I see that this toxicity starts with one toxicity person. When good people also start to churns around that toxic person, then really it because suffocating environment for everybody. Also, sometimes this toxicity also emerges from cultural diversity. Lastly, your views are right.

Thank u very much, much needed this right now for me. I am seeing 👀 this video at 111 likes.

Very true 😊

Very single thing you said is true , backed by experience 👍

Thoughtful video

Thank you for this vedio

Excellent video Pavan ❤

Nice information

I have a same kind of (belonging to the same state as in the video) (not being racist or enthinist just explaining my situation) boss who always supported subordinates belonging to the particular state who talked in such a rude manner to other people I was shocked almost every day and continuously feel the fear and hate from him. Sadly I can do nothing. Applies pressure, pressure and pressure, regardless and keeps the environment toxic with asking for continuous deadlines. Don't know if this builtin Indian culture with socipathic bosses and childhood trauma in the name of Indian culture or what?

Great video sir.

Modi ji should bring in some serious labor laws in india .... some one should take this to the government .... strict and serious labor laws in many areas including these pressure cookers (software companies)

Abroad has better work culture, it really sucks here

At work you are replaceable. At home you are not. 👍

That's why there is a common saying that one needs to develop thick skin if they want to grow and survive in corporate world.

Most people are totally unrealistic about how much can be done. The higher people go in the ladder the more out of touch with reality they get .

That's why business is better

And Smriti irani said no period leaves. I cant believe how selfish she can be instead of creating better workplace irrespective of gender she was indirectly stating no company will be interested in Indians if we refuse to be slaves and life our life. Worst even after paying so much tax nothing in return no government no political party nothing

I worked for the same Indian IT major that you mentioned, here in the US. The toxicity was unbearable, including backstabbing, religious bias, and favoritism; it was the case that "mediocrity breeds mediocrity, they hire people who align with them rather than hiring someone who is fit for the job. Never again!

In our company there is a story where subordinate slapped his abusive boss 😅. But ok its a PSU.. so both are still working..

There should be strict laws for work culture In india everyone deserve respect and dignity there must be professionalism ..

People become managers and leads wothout being trained properly in Human management tehre should be courses for this.

first of all we are not robot, we are human

My key take aways:- 1. Those who decide not to take conventional path they might get benefit in long run but in short run society will impose pressure on them. 2. Society has an image and it tries to fit in Everyone into that image.

From February No leaves, even on sundays they're asking us to work. Daily reporting calls in the early hours, 7 am.. manager sending messages by 5.30 am. 10pm reporting..asking for targets...a well known indian corporate brand, I am working.

I work in a very famous product based company they have told us to work extra hohrs , no sick leave and only 9 holidays by government 😑

No labour laws in this nation. Also post covid and wfh now companies know that they can force employee in office then force same employees to take office laptop at home to work. We have to amrk timesheet of 8 hours but we are given work of 12 hours 😒

Qualitrix and trigyn as well

Lnt mindtree memoir.

When you talk about your personal problems with others then someone will take advantage of your situation hence stop discussing with others. Career has always been but very limited white collar ones in the past

I was in a similar situation a couple of years back. That was my first fulltime job. My condition was really one of the worst one can imagine. I'm not being judgmental to others' issues but for over a year I used to have suicidal thoughts. Fear of being jobless, suicidal temptations, depression, humiliation, lost dignity and on top of that my own fear turned into cowardness. Rather than fighting back, I submitted myself to corporate evils. I remember I used to hurt myself physically in my PG's bathroom/washroom every day at the time of taking shower. I got some minor cuts, some unseen bruises that I used to hide wearing full sleeves, and what not. Everytime when I was on the terrace of my office building I used to get this urge to jump but I again I was coward to do that again. I was really really submerged into the ocean of depression deep down. You can say I was literally buried under a pile of lost hopes and failed justice. I still remember telling exactly to my CEO that I didn't really do anything wrong but for that moron his business operations and funding mattered the most. Not his fault though. I knew I couldn't fight against a gang. I might put up the courage to deal with one or two but it's not really a feasible descision to fight against a gang of evils hungry for promotion, recognition and hike. I was literally done with my life for a moment. TBH, it still haunts me till date. I try always not to think about it. I did suffer a huge setback in my career. I am someone who gives up pretty quickly and I accept it as my major flaw but I am also someone who tries to get back up another day. Maybe I will give up a 100 times but I will try to wake up every other morning to try something different just because the previous plan/choice didn't work out(primarily because of my flaw of being an intimidated introvert and a coward). But I do change my course of track, find something different but this corporate bullying and toxicity are a reality that neither I nor perhaps anyone can escape. You need to be smart, bootlicking, set your ego aside, listen and obey to some illiterate just because he/she is sitting on top of you. Trust me, I have seen people with experience and top tier degrees behave like illiterates and dumbs. I'm still struggling but alive, all thanks to my cowardness which didn't let me kill myself. I guess, cowardness isn't that bad of a trait, right? However, if in case, I ever build something of my own I would prioritize hardwork, sincerity, honesty, and selflessness as my core principles. I will also ensure a healthy work environment for freshers with realistic work targets. But that's a story of future to see. Right now I would urge everyone that, don't you ever switch just because the salary is great. If your current employer offers you a decent work environment, do prioritize it over money. Your mental peace should be your first priority, second should be your health, then your career/family whichever you would like to. Be humble, ego will make you vulnerable to attacks and eventually, you will lose. Your merit cannot keep you going. Either learn the dirty game or become obedient, and resilient & tolerant to BS in office. Never ever work under a female boss. Never ever work under a male boss with lesser experience. Don't let anyone's words affect you. Even if it's profanity coming to you, handle it with grace and take it like a champ. Those who cannot adapt please don't enter corporates. Make something of ur own. Your own grocery shop would give you much more peace than a high paying corporate job. And it's a fact. Keep one thing in mind, especially men. Nobody is going to be urs. Your parents, relatives, GFs, wives, and even kids will turn their back to you. Your house is an equally toxic place if not more. It's just the toxicity is buried under the financial security that you bring to them. Your employer doesn't care about your health or even if you are alive. For them you're just another tool to get their work done. Another thing to understand that you're replaceable. Prioritise yourself, your well being and happiness over anyone else. Those who seek ur shelter will follow along with you. Those who don't, you simply don't need them. If that means losing your mother, kids or wife, let them go. Trust me, it's a harsh truth. Earn money, have s*x but don't pay for it directly or indirectly. S** will keep your healthy and happy. Most importantly you will gain experience. Remember the fact that there's no such thing as an experienced woman. A man with experience lasts longer and performs better in bed. A woman with experience comes with BS and promiscuity. Of course, what I am saying doesn't sound fair but you have to prioritise ur well being. You're not hurting or controlling anyone. Always go for obedient women rather than attractive ones. Learn the art to identify gold diggers and wh***s. They will teach you her virginity doesn't matter. But trust me, if it is related to your peace of mind then it does. As a man you're born to provide and you can only do that when you are at peace. Never hurt your wife or cheat on her. Never let go of ur authority as the man of the house. Your last opinion should always be considered as the final verdict of the family and ensure that it's being followed but don't become a psycho control freak. And remember life will knock you down but you can choose whether or not to stand back up. So when you're down make sure to isolate urself. Women need helping hands to rise up. Men don't. As a man you're capable enough to stand back on ur feet unless you're disabled. Don't you ever forget that you come first then everything and everyone else.

After how many years work pressure start reduce?

Employee wellbeing is contradictory factor for corporate growth strategy, so corporate needs to be governed by elected government But no one opens up in public due to fear. This is a clear sign of shift in power from old landlords to new type of landlords protected by constitution. In western countries When a handful of PPL can fight big corporations justice, big corporations can be questioned by elected bodies, in European countries there can be labour union legally. What is stopping Indians from having their rights, in what way Indians are inferior. This is due to a corrupted society legally supported by loopholes in constitution, exemption of labour laws for IT industries in Karnataka clearly states denial of the fundamental rights Article 14-18, 23-24 of constitution,still no one cares. When the corporate is imposed labour laws based on fundamental rights corporates threaten the government itself . This is a trap that needs a round of reformation before it sparks out as civil war. White collars are no more quite, as they realised they are used as blue collars badging them white collar, white collar blue collor difference is against fundamental rights. When the rich contractors community, rich business community etc can have an effective union why can't IT have one and be strong enough. This is clear collapse of fundamental rights

I have just quit from senior level seat at Nykaa due to only and only toxic work culture there. I am a victim with no job in hand, still, I am true to myself. I am also surprised, there is no regulator who can address or help in these issue to an employee.

if you didnt have this routine, you would have still looked like the 36 year old that you are...not a 54 year old.

AI will improve creativity, IQ and strategic work so low value tasks are low this also means AI will not remove jobs. It will make you do your existing job in a better way. I personally think the Modi should include and introduce laws By ways of voicing out loud and public rally in the Indian culture urgently required against shouting at employees and any mental abuse also reducing long working hours. This requires urgent change in India. Right now, it is a rat race in India due to poor large corporate cultures due to inflation and consumerism. How about HR and staff working on Ally schemes in India, to voice out these tortures at work, particularly for women ally schemes at work is needed. Also why are there no women at top MNCs in India surely they don’t shout at men or is it only men shouting around???

Even if you share, indians response is make sure you listen to boss. You will never get support.

Don't buy the latest iphone, save your money so that if required you can put down your papers and still have some money to survive

Now a days people exposed reality of big tech, seems gov job was better always.

You have worked with McKenzie right? Why don't you tell us some insights from that company. You opened this channel for goodwill, then go ahead, tell us the truth.

India is cheap labour country for private companies. No value of a labour can be replaced anytime since day1, salaries increase the technologies will change and you will be on your knees in your mid age. Today learn AI, DS and tomorrow in mid age fight for job with these bulky packages and fake dreams driven by private sector.

Aur koi option nhi sir apne paas 😂. Baap Ka Business Ya Jaydad nhi hai jo corporate leave krke aish maar sakun

This is type people very worng. I think that we should not hear to him

Small companies and startup are nice as compared to bug mnc 😂
