Apart from these, the work atmosphere is very toxic, mainly due to higher management. Managers only care about getting work done—whether it’s on a weekday, weekend, or even holidays. One week, they say provide support; the next week, they don’t acknowledge it and instead claim we are not supporting enough.
Most of the time, they force employees to work on weekends and holidays. They also change the holiday calendar for their convenience—if Indian holidays are more, they follow the USA calendar; if USA holidays are more, they switch to the Indian calendar. The end goal is to extract 24/7 work at lower pay under the excuse of business requirements. It’s completely ridiculous.
Management treats employees like machines. We work 10-11 hours daily without extra incentives, unless someone explicitly demands it. On weekends, they are supposed to provide incentives, but we have our personal lives too. Some managers create a toxic work environment.
The CEO gives motivational speeches in every monthly All-Hands Meeting (AHM), but either he doesn’t know or chooses to ignore what managers are doing at the ground level. They commit anything to clients without having enough resources, only to overburden employees with 10-12 hour workdays.
Some managers speak disrespectfully, treating employees like servants. They expect everyone to blindly follow instructions, even when unreasonable. Instead of focusing on actual work, they force employees to do unnecessary tasks just to show the CEO how hard they are "working."
In reality, lower-level employees do all the hard work and deserve better incentives and salary hikes. But instead, top-level managers take all the credit and benefits from their team’s efforts.
Even operational managers behave the same way. They justify weekend work by offering incentives, but it’s not just about money—it’s about employees' health. If someone works 10 hours every day, how can they be expected to work on weekends too? It’s ridiculous.
I got frustrated and left the company because they don’t care—no matter how hard you work, all the credit goes to toxic higher-level managers, while employees are left with nothing but stress and health issues.
Even getting leave is a struggle—they create unnecessary drama over approving planned leave. When we say we are not well, they don’t trust us. According to them, an employee can never fall sick, and even for a single day's leave, they demand proof. This is completely unprofessional.
