Cuz europeans don't act like slaves, they raise voice, they give importance to work life balance. In India, british left indians with slavery mindset. White is superior is instilled in indians brain. Indian education system teach that working hard is important, but no one teach that life is also important. Since they are kid they get into burden of studying. Take multiple classes. Many student in kota suic!de cause of pressure, but no one cares. These MNC sees it as opportunity and they hit jackpot getting billions of slaves who learned to work hard since they were kid.

I wish there could be a rule where if a senior manager or HR is wrong and you, as a junior employee, have proofs then these toxic and dismissive seniors should also get warning letters like juniors. In a corporate, you CANNOT pinpoint the mistakes of seniors even if they have done something wrong/ unjust with you. Because if you do then your days will be limited in the company. Corporates DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR FINANCIAL OR PERSONAL SITUATIONS. India needs stringent laws that protects the exploitation of employees at all costs. And a law that also gives chance to junior ppl to report wrongdoing of their seniors or the HR person without the fear of losing their job. ENOUGH OF CORPORATE BULLY CULTURE!!!!!

Draw attention to workplace bullying. It exists. There is pressure to perform as well as be ACCEPTED.

Boy did she make my life hell, chased our current boss for months together to take her out for dinner and valentines day etc and then would make it sound like he was after her. I took her side stupidly and got ostracized. They both became an unofficial pair at work. And I was yelled at for wanting any inputs at work. I has no idea women like this exist. It never crossed my mind to do anything but protect her as she was slightly younger , till it was too late. She had also cut off her mom, and although just few years older, I wanted to take care of her. In 6 months I went from being the office favorite who everyone was smitten by to a non entity.

How many can say that I won't work on a Sunday when asked for an urgent deliverable? Secondly, even if someone dares to do that, whom will they complain to? Which HR has the power, or even intent, to take corrective actions against business leaders and seniors to address the issue of toxic work culture? Not only will this take systemic change in our work environments, but a HUGE CULTURAL CHANGE. expecting juniors to speak up just WON'T WORK.

There is a direct correlation Mr.Amit, why the appraisal discussions go to the point asking employees "What extra have you done?" Orgs are typical capitalists who only care about revenue and margins "in India".

Work pressure, nepotism and favouritism are in corporate environments/private companies is very common phenomenon and not a new thing. Education institutes/colleges should give training for STRESS MANAGEMENT and MENTAL HEALTH apart from curriculum. Employees mental health as well as physical health are important for work life balance. 99% Employers are focusing on finance capital and they never focus on human capital because there is abundance of unemployed educated persons in India. Labour Laws are just on paper and theory not in practice. Government should do safety measures for employee’s working hours, conditions and stringent in the enforcement of our existing labour laws.

'Respect all individuals' and this problem will be solved to a extent. To completely solve this problem and most other problems in this world, we need to shutdown the shock markets because that's what is pushing these corporations to think only about profits and not human welfare.

In the Banking industry, things are even worse...people literally work at least 12 hours....not just in branches...in the back office also...the office leaving time has been rescheduled to 8 p.m unofficially...and office starts at 8 a.m unofficially...In private banks it is even worse...

Perusahaan tempat sy bekerja pernah diaudit oleh EY YA. mereka memang bekerja sampai malam2, over time, itu jh berimbas kepada pihak yang diaudit karena mrm.meminta data macam2 dan ada perdebagan dimana mrk masih menggunakan standar lama dimana perusahaan kami telah mengalami perkembahan IT dsn sdh banyak relaxsasi. Standar yg dipakai oleh EY tsb sdh tdk up to date namun kami harus menuruti karena terkait penilaian dlm versi mrk. Sangat merepotkan kami seperti berjalan mundur ke masa 2 th yll

No one in EY cared for Anna as they thought...they didn't feel responsible and it was normal. And also they didnt know it will be this big We only about one Anna...there could be 1000s

[@josephalex.1911]

issues of junior employees and senior employees are different, they are talking abt management, step back , take care of well being etc, In this case of EY employee, she was junior and was given more work than she could do in a reasonable time

[@vivekalexander1217]

Some one should start a page like me too where employees can shame employers for such ridiculous toxic culture

[@sushrutnaik]

this can happen only in developing nations because we accept it. I know of situations where you cannot reach a colleague in emea after work hours or on holiday. it will lead to disciplinary action. for once just think 26yr old loosing life from overworking, shameful

There are some serious rules needed for Corporates and people having thoughts like Narayana Murthy…

[@uzairbrooks7420]

Murthy should be fined for saying such things in public.
