Once I took back my resignation, when my manager told me about the company's value, upcoming great opportunities, and promised growth. Next month, he himself left the company 😂
Some of the great advices I received a long time ago when I was a novice in the corporate world. 1) Nothing is forever, including your job. 2) Your superiors are not your friends. 3) Everyone is replaceable. 4) Organizations exist for their own benefits, not for employees. 5) Have a minimum of 6 months' worth of living saved as a rainy day fund. Therefore, if you lose your job tomorrow, you will not go mad.
When I was in my 20s, people like me were called ‘resources’, ‘heads’ in an organization and available for my manager to use them. In my early 50s, I wonder what is the difference between other resources like timber and coal and a human like me.
Just wanted to add one. Toxic colleagues....yes they can make your life hell if you dont handle them, never be too open with anyone...it backfires sooner than you think.
Am not the toxic one but I am definitely the cautious and manipulative one in the lot, and I plan on handling those toxic colleagues by becoming the Team lead for the next project we get at my startup company that would pay more to the same toxic people that go against them and don't even work a Penny's worth
Avoid groupism also just talk nicely politely on point and do your job and chill out sometimes and don't go beyond that. Because you have family at home and you need to balance that life also
What i want is a boring job. Yes, i’m willing to do same thing over and over again but i want to keep other parts of my life alive. I want to learn so many other things. Hobbies. Improve the skills what i want to improve on. I forever will be a creative being in my heart. I resigned my corporate job. Working as a teacher now.
Cognizant is worst compay in the world. I used to work for them in USA (I was GC holder that time, family sponsered GC not corporate ) My manager(I think he was on L1 something like this visa) did micromanagement. He told me to prepare a excel sheet write time all thing I do and how much time it takes. I happened for 2-3 months, can you imagine stand up at night 9 PM EST for 30-45 mins. I told them this is too much for me then they asked me to give KT to a H1B holder for 3 weeks then I was fired. HR told me I was performing bad and not a good fit for company I said my manager gave me good feedback. HR told me over all I am not a good fit and my technology has no use. Listen this they called me after 3 months to join again at same location. I refused and told I will beg on street but never ever work for them. I was lucky I got job in MS and here no micro management but little politics. Please do not work for Cognizant. Forgive me for poor english.
I'm currently for the same organisation from offshore and whatever he is saying is true. They are trying to cut costs in every little aspect possible,in terms of cab services , office space ,hikes , promotions everything. Delayed hikes and bad ratings are common.
Your every point is 100% true. Particularly in the Indian scenario, corporates are given a free run when exploiting employees. Its high time India enacts strong laws to protect the interests of the white collar employee
I completely agree. When I went for the US visa stamping, I was handed a US labour laws booklet and I was surprised to see that an employee had a choice to sue the employer if he crosses the line. I wondered why we don't have such laws in India.

Thank you so much for surfacing the reality. There are many more examples that include "sabotaging, shadowing, ridiculing, backbiting, favouring, hand-holding, insulting in open, humiliation, blackmailing, threatening, blaming others for our failures" etc.
Unfortunately, lot of sick people exist in the corporate world. It is not about how good you are at your work - it is more about how well you can manipulate, self-promote in the presence of your managers, etc. Depending on the people you work with it can be a toxic environment so, the best option is to choose your managers carefully. Or at least you need to learn how to manipulate and manage your boss.
Personal development is important in the corporate world. Get new degrees or skills. Keep constantly searching for new offers based on your skills. Don’t ever care about your employer.
Corporate is a business environment, having been working here for 11 years, I always considered myself as a businessman, gaining skills, doing jobs/gigs, getting paid. Never cared about the PEOPLE there, even though EVERY MANAGER I met there told me "we are a family" to which I responded, in my head though," Yeah right, sucker!!"
Unfortunately situation is so worst , that taxi drivers , hawkers make more than corporate employees, govt jobs are paying as per the inflation but private companies are just cutting off on packages every year. Which is very fustrating .
As a cyber analyst I left my last role at a defense company due to burnout and lack of training. Companies will exploit you till they cant no more or gaslight you thinking you are not doing enough. Lesson learn never stay loyal to any job or company.
Hits hard when I left Accenture just ten days ago. My team lead was toxic, making me overwork when I was very ill. I had enough of it and I quit...unemployed now and still on the job hunt.
You should have borne for some time more. You don't realise how rewarding tech industry is for women. Reservation ke through itni opportunities khul jaati hai women ke liye. You could have earned money and left India. I think if you have some sort of reservation, you should go for big brands. You could have gone to project management or HR roles.
@@tusharsachdeva2172 I had tolerated enough...I don't want to work under someone who doesn't appreciate my hardwork. I know the job hunt would be difficult for me, but I will take the risk...and I believe I will find the right job for me soon.
Absolute Truth. I had been laid off because I was unable to get a right project while in wfm. There were few times, I felt sad leaving the comp in this way that I worked for 11 + years. I had worked my @*** in this place but this was the blunt truth of my life, that I had lost my identity of what my skills and potentials being with ducks and was in guilt phase. I was a person who was not keen on the money part or the growth just wanted to do best without annoyance! This is something I needed to hear before I take up another job.
Well said buddy!! They don't even care about your sacrifices. I was fired from Accenture in the name of cost cutting. I begged them to not to fire me, even showed them my offer letter from HAL and told them that I forego HAL for Accenture. That moment I felt that I was the biggest a****le to choose Accenture over my dreams.
It is a private company job all they cares about revenue you are just a factory worker in suits and you should also be like them just do work what you are paid for and then just leave
LOL I don't believe it. You forego a Defense PSU to work in a software company? In fact you shouldn't have tell them that you did this shit. Your stupidity justified their reason to fire you.
For 6 years , from Oct 2005 to Nov 2011, I have worked in entry to lower management level positions in companies like Wipro, Firstsource, Aditya Birla Minacs & IBM. I can vouch for everything said in this video, especially the "no one cares about you" part.
The problem is that people in India are unaware about socioeconomic analysis and then they say office politics is toxic. You can be on the other hand of the office politics, suppressing other people. The way it works is that if you are in majority somewhere, you have the power. And if you are vocal and you pretend as if you are sure about your decisions, then no body can stop you. The problem is these days people join these big brands while they go to BTech colleges from tier 1,2 for campus placements and pick up students from reservations there who have seen dirt in life. They then come and spread their dirt everywhere and you as hardworking person keep crying. For a person from middle class family in IT who is living in Haryana/Punjab or above states (on basis of HDI), best way of income is through working in startups in specialised roles and going into freelancing/remote work from there. That is OUR normal. We can rule in that domain. Jobs in IT consultancies is not made for BTech cse students from middle class. Firstly, you did btech and chose a degree which was already way above your "aukaat". Bcoz btech is expensive degree. Now, you can't bear the lifestyle that comes with it. If you have done btech cse, do an extra certification in development/testing and go for specialised roles. Don't settle for less and get into a PBC startup or a mid sized Indian company. Don't target the MNCs coz they won't pick you. Even if they do, it isn't worth it. They only take IIT, NIT students, majority of whom are reservation students or from UP Bihar.
I was one of the most successful employee of a big company. My manager, senior manager to unit head, each & everyone valued me. Since I am good at adopting new things, I was continuously given new roles & challenges. Obviously, you can't get success 100% of projects, particularly when the projects mostly had low chance of success. Eventually, I won every other corporate award on Innovation blah blah, but when it comes to growth, I understood I'm the least paid at my level. Left the job to take up a role where I will build a team that would fire same shot 10000 times in 10 projects. That's it. I am far less happy now, but get far fat paychecks. That's your point 2. It is truth
@@Harsha-D311 I started my career as a boy in a catering service. I used to get 300/day. But I was not underpaid, it was correct salary for my job even though it was really low. Low salary is not THE problem, problem when you get paid lower than standard benchmark of a role despite performing. That's my point. Hope I could explain.
@@Harsha-D311 I have no idea about mechanical engineering landscape today. Most of the time salary is driven by market demand of the subject at a given time. E.g. once upon a time, clinical coders were highly paid. Roughly speaking, they had to determine disease code from verbatim description of patients. After NLP progress, that job is mostly dead. Something similar happened in mechanical domain? I see all civil & mechanical people work in data science, IT etc now a days. It is sad. They are skilled at something else
True words. Happens in most of the bigger companies. Startups or small companies on the other hand are able to defy this quo and some are building good cultures, but as soon they grow bigger, I've seen them start to adopt these things at some levels. Problem is on the other side too, not just the companies. Btw, the 1000:1 difference part, I have a different take. While i do feel that the starting salaries of a freshers can be higher than that but I feel the main culprit for this part is the industry and academia not having any sync. And about the payment gap, we have seen that once the same fresher climbs up the ladder, either by switching or whatever, and is paid way higher than the newbies he feels it's justified while the newbie will consider it unfair. That's in nature. Can't help with that.
Sir, I usually don't comment but you made me to do so. I once was having a conversation with a high level soul. He said 'Currently this world has been sick'. ❤❤❤
Corporate is west culture which is completely business minded, Ours is East which is social, much of humanity, We have to change our mindset to fit into corporate . Have work life balance
I'm a professional IT recruiter and most things are true. The worst are the implementations like Infosys, Cognizant who make people do overtime daily and on weekends. Working directly for a Fortune 100 is still better. Secondly many people left corporate jobs and became tea vendors (its true) and they are earning more than double with less headache.

@@nihitagarwal-sn4dk Fortune 500 means big multinational companies like American Express, Dell, Microsoft, Verizon etc. working directly for them enables better work culture. Infosys, Wipro get development processes from them and make margin based profits and suck out life of their employees with micromanagement and overtime
@@nihitagarwal-sn4dk Lastly keep learning new skills even while working and invest 20-30% of your income in blue collar stocks and some of it in gold coins/bonds depending on market so you are financially independent after a decade or two
Thank you for sharing your wisdom in such a relatable manner. Actually in India we are raised with a certain level of emotional values and that's what creates the need for this wisdom to be shared with professionals. The youth are lucky in a way they know most of these values.
#1 They don't care about you. So true. When I resigned from my company after 12 years working there, my manager and his boss didn't even bother to respond to my resignation email. I worked remote. Never heard from any of them again, except for the standard continuation of health insurance (at $1500/mo) form letter in the mail a few weeks later.
As a Civil Engineer I was in a corporate job, working for an MNC. After joining my dream company I came to understand the same thing as you explained in this video. That is why I started preparing for Govt job, and after joining as a Govt Engineer, I can tell you working stress is so less here, but you have to do the boring repetitive and non creative work. But still a stress free job.

Very aptly said. There is always a sense of fear as to when you'll lose your job. We should choose an alternative career if you don't like the corporate jobs. Very difficult to maintain work life balance.
Wonderfully explained the ugly truth of corporates. All points covered. Kindly make such content to bring out to light the nasty exploitation of corporate towards the work force
I was put on PIP in Amazon last year saying that I didn't perform well but I recieved an annual hike of 9.3% just a month before being put on PIP .....was laid off ...still looking for a job 😢
I have also worked in 4vcompanies including TCS Wipro, I agree with you in 5 point but as far as job satisfaction comes I want to say there is absolutely no job satisfaction for those who are good at study since childhood because they have mentality to study without payment, but when they are forced to work for money they become highly unsatisfied, but for those who were bad at study since childhood they actually work hard to get money. Also disagree on point of learning new things etc . As a developer there are too much to do as most get burn out, there is no job satisfaction of not repeating things and getting burn out due to n number of hours study after job because one has to grow in career. Unfortunately I want you say corporate culture is not sustainable and will end up like doomed communist religion of Russia. Another point is those kind of manager you met are actually those donkey class poor study students who reached that place because corporate is all about promotion, skills only matter at lower employees.
I fully agree on the point that corporate culture is not sustainable and also the comunist model as for ex in Russia is no solution. We need a new model of doing business with more inclusion and humanity on all levels. Saluti from Italy.
Wish someone told me this even few years back with so much simplicity and truth, I would not have spent thirty years in the same company. And experience what Pavan has to say. Well done! Highly appreciated 👍
I think the reasons are:- 1) The cost of cheap labour along with the talents that too in a quantity are a win win situation in a country like India for the international companies. 2) As a result of above Indias corporate world has moved more into service oriented model .instead of research and innovation oriented model 3) After graduation getting a job in corporate sector is much easy than other core jobs , because no matter whatever is the salary , things are eye catchy , brand oriented and ofcourse comes with benefits . Unless ones who are extremely and specifically field and career oriented persons. 4) With the amount of graduates produced by India every year it nearly equalises , the job requirement ratio between no of fresher openings to the no of grads produced. I wouldnt say this is a problem always, but there is definetely . For each problem there must be an alternate job and field competition in the employment industry to avoid monopoly of corporate world
Your 3rd & 4th point is wrong.....Fresher graduates don't get job easily in corporate world.....U have to put lots of money in any MBA degree tier 1 college or engineering clg......Then u get job in corporate

Hey man can you guide me 😅 sorry I m collage students what are the things s. I do for side earning in jobs what are the precautions I do what are the things I need.
I am working in Ireland in a public sector firm as a contractor from a software company. I have other contractors from Accenture. They are the dirtiest guys doing all kinds of dirty things. When they need some help, they will talk to us softly and get all the details. When I ask for some help, they wont even reply to our emails. Such a dirty company, Accenture.
Typical mentality of new Indian immigrants who are looked upon as cheap labour by the goras..this line of thinking is probably what most of Irish think about you.
1) Employer care about profit. 2) Satisfaction & Income are contradictory. 3) Employer hire for achieving their goal. 4) Exploits by overtime. 5) Teasing by micro managing. 6)Salary difference between executive & employees
Every point here is so true and it's causing a lot of stress amongst people who work in companies. The main problem is that the government hasn't made strict rules for how these companies treat their employees. People who are just starting their jobs get very little compensation and are made to work really long hours, like 12 hours a day. And now the expectations of working 70 hours a week seems pretty much unrealistic as well. These companies refuse to hire additional staff but overload the existing employees with too much work. No extra salary for overtime as well. The government doesn't seem to be doing much about these problems. Because of all this, many of us are getting early age health issues, and we barely have time for our families or ourselves and there is an incremental burden of loans, EMIs and bills . Living expenses in metro cities are high, and our salaries don't match the efforts we put in. Income inequality is also rampant, with distinct salary brackets for the same work, role, and responsibilities based on the colleges attended, favoring employees from tier 1 colleges while offering comparatively lower compensation to those from tier 2 or 3 institutions. It's no longer about candidates' skills and contributions or even the experience of the candidate anymore.
Unfortunately that's true. I faced a very bad managers. She was not only micro managing me, she went out of ethical line to create issues in my personal life too. She broke my blossoming relationship because she thought I shouldn't be get very good guy. After I left that company, she took that guy into her project and still taking a ride
This is what we have been experiencing throughout the years. When people have been criticising government employees for not working and saying they should learn from corporates, in my mind I always thought about these points you said. Sadly, the corporates in India are exploiting their employees, especially the lower level employees. The saddest thing is that nobody, no government, no HR and not even the employees themselves care about this exploitation.
This all can change if SKILL is added slowly . Then the game changes . If an employee keeps on learning and grows skills, Business will line up to have him/her. Then the person can be the selector weater to continue with same organisation or select A ,B or C over what he has
Sir you highlighted very well points of working in corporate company but please make the video of what should be the solution to this?? If you would be running a corporate company then how will u manage such situations?? When u ask such questions and keep ourselves in their shoes then we get the right answer. I think your point of view is true and i respect that but withiut knowing the other side point of view we cant judge the upper truth.... 😊😊
This is true about almost all workspaces. Not just corporate . Whether it be corporate or government jobs unless you have direct power , in a developing (3rd world country ) nobody would care.
@the_dynamic_engineer, Can I become a professor in India after doing MSc in Germany. I have around 7 years of IT experience across different domains. I am sort of a generalist.
In today's situation of layoffs, government jobs and PSUs are the answer. You get to have a stress free job and live a comfortable life. Also, an opportunity to serve the nation.
@@aarjunpp you can read much more in detail on internet. But basically the interference of global consultants has increased, they demand the corporate work ethic and even the auditors are third party In a way it’s benefiting the government to deliver on time. But corporates have complaint that bureaucrats are lethargic. That’s why the deadlines and workflow is getting set on corporate level. Also, government is relying more on contractual services, like TCS for passport, but same for government offices, universities. This also organises it more on corporate life, As the lobbying will rise more, the demand for outcomes and faster outcomes will rise. Yes few jobs are quite relaxed, but there are many, in financial and urbanisation, infra based government jobs that demand over work. Perks are there as per it.
@@Kathakathan11 that maybe true but you won't be fired left and right even if you're performing well. Many of my friends who had good performance got laid off. It is very stressful
Thank you for your great topics. I had no idea for most of my working life. Recovered 2 years from toxic workplaces and leaving the corporate world is the best I ever did. I hope I will never have to go back! It's so fake, people are so fake. If you experience different, you are lucky.
I am watching from Italy and agree 100%, corporates are greedy and their employees and workers are only numbers , they can replace you or cancel your job in every moment, very unexpected. I am working since 35 years and took part of a corporate, 10 years ago I was taken out of the customer service where I worked for decades within 2 days, they gave me another 4 hous job and the remaining 4 hours I was placed in reception. It was very humiliating.Fortunately due to new local management I found a new satifying occupation within the company but it was a long way and hard at the age of 52. In Europe fortunately we have strict laws concerning labour regarding working hours, safety, pollution at working places, vacation etc
Insanely good content, Pavan. You know what, no one will understand these truths until they go through the corporate experience. This is exactly why such videos matter. All those who are about to hit the workforce, please open your ears and hear what Pavan has to say please :)
My job helps me pay my bills. Gives time to pursue other interests Recognises my worth Keeps me occupied Stable income Don't simply create a narrative of hating your jobs and being independent only by having your own venture. You realise value of some things only when they're gone.

Office also has politics..preferring people who the managers/leaders want to grow not necessarily the best person on the team. The reason given is the role is different for each person and hence a person of manager's choice gets to slice of cake and not always the best performer on team.
On top of it now a days offices are far from cities where we have to travel one way not less than 1 hour in slight traffic conditions and can't if there is heavy traffic
Absolutely true. I will never recommend working in corporate for its not worth it . Your contribution means nothing, you are just a number. Seriously, it’s better to run your own business. Be it a e-commerce or your own startup. It’s not going to be easy but at least you are in control of your growth instead of being dependent on your employer.
I would not say that and it depends. You can be smart as well and just do what is required and get the pay check. Survive and build on the side. Cash flow is very important. My 2 cents.
Not everyone can do business mate, there are lots of people for whom job is everything, they need money to survive, they can't take risks due to poor financial conditions. Don't be so biased about doing a business.
It's 100% correct. Can you say why there is on -roll and off-roll in corporates. Onroll gets leave travel benefits, access to learning management systems, while off-roll don't get converted to on-roll even after 1 year.
I worked as HR head for India. Resigned in may 2023 and i dont want to join corporate again. I really felt very bad whenever i should layoff employees. I know its part of my job but i am unable to hurt humans with senseless reasons which i forced to do
Re point 5: if you dare to mention something controversial when suggestions are called for, you will be targetted as “troublemaker”, “not a team player” or a “blocker”. A swift means of being shunned and quickly removed from the organisation. They only want “team players” who will be infinitely flexible in soaking up more demands from management. I’m reminded of the quote from Hiratio Nelson, who said (Something along the lines of) “ I am amazed by the pride of men. They will readily sacrifice themselves for the attraction of a piece of coloured ribbon”. (a medal)
same here, working in tcs as data engineer and on the other hand they make us do these payment milestone trackers, basically client billing excel sheet lol
The 1 thing u missed out is once you are experienced in certain field u want to implement new things to the company, even u discuss with md & ceo they will not give u credit for the advice @ that time,& after few days same information is passing among floor. 2. Hire an experienced person, then spy on him try to learn how is doing, be polite give respect everything exploits his secret & once done then start to play blame game or abuse him, spread rumour till d time u leave it 😅 3. Threating d employee using skill matrix tactics, creating drama 4 no reason so that employees don't get unite, false promise of payment rise, delay in payment or sometimes no payment @ all. 4. Purchase material from vendor and not giving payment, changing vendor or search of new vendor. All abuse from vendor need to be listned by purchase manager.
And what about favoritism and nepotism, a big issue, where I worked as a content developer, the whole content was dependent upon me, and the manager we had was good for nothing, his job was just to assign duty to us, that's it, he never checked the content, no feedback given and when a fault arrived, the whole blame was put on me, as if I am running the company, and that managers own sister was working in the same content development like us, but when the manger left the company, his sister was promoted to his position immediately, I don't know on what basis 😅, when others do mistakes those were highlighted and when she did mistakes, no one knew about that, I left that company right away..
One big problem what I see in people worked in corporate they lacs hearts felt sincerity and love and commitment to employer. Thats because of their work culture. I feel not every one but 90%

A job is not for your enjoyment. That why they pay you (and not you pay them). Separation of your "person" with the "job" requires discipline and this is fundamental to self-care. You take what you like, contribute what it takes and continually judge if this is still a good fit and a good deal. No feelings either way. It is the way it is. Don't ever think of fairness, there is no mechanical fairness anywhere. There may be a narrow reasonable range of fairness or whatever goodness but don't stretch it and it may even shrink. Keep a constant eye for alternatives under all circumstances. Even a dream company may failed, if not turning bad. No one has full control. Circumstances dictate at times.

Women are opportunistic beings.
Cognizant is worst compay in the world. I used to work for them in USA (I was GC holder that time, family sponsered GC not corporate ) My manager(I think he was on L1 something like this visa) did micromanagement. He told me to prepare a excel sheet write time all thing I do and how much time it takes. I happened for 2-3 months, can you imagine stand up at night 9 PM EST for 30-45 mins. I told them this is too much for me then they asked me to give KT to a H1B holder for 3 weeks then I was fired. HR told me I was performing bad and not a good fit for company I said my manager gave me good feedback. HR told me over all I am not a good fit and my technology has no use. Listen this they called me after 3 months to join again at same location. I refused and told I will beg on street but never ever work for them. I was lucky I got job in MS and here no micro management but little politics. Please do not work for Cognizant. Forgive me for poor english.

MS = Microsoft?

Your every point is 100% true. Particularly in the Indian scenario, corporates are given a free run when exploiting employees. Its high time India enacts strong laws to protect the interests of the white collar employee
I completely agree. When I went for the US visa stamping, I was handed a US labour laws booklet and I was surprised to see that an employee had a choice to sue the employer if he crosses the line. I wondered why we don't have such laws in India.

Unfortunately, lot of sick people exist in the corporate world. It is not about how good you are at your work - it is more about how well you can manipulate, self-promote in the presence of your managers, etc. Depending on the people you work with it can be a toxic environment so, the best option is to choose your managers carefully. Or at least you need to learn how to manipulate and manage your boss.
Personal development is important in the corporate world. Get new degrees or skills. Keep constantly searching for new offers based on your skills. Don’t ever care about your employer.
Corporate is a business environment, having been working here for 11 years, I always considered myself as a businessman, gaining skills, doing jobs/gigs, getting paid. Never cared about the PEOPLE there, even though EVERY MANAGER I met there told me "we are a family" to which I responded, in my head though," Yeah right, sucker!!"
Unfortunately situation is so worst , that taxi drivers , hawkers make more than corporate employees, govt jobs are paying as per the inflation but private companies are just cutting off on packages every year. Which is very fustrating .

Great advice! My advice - Do not stay with an organization for more than 3-4 years unless you are growing and your salary is equally multiplying
Yes that's true. Even if we are loving our job, micro-management creates dissatisfaction.
I agree - Corporate will never be fair -- you have a sleazy and cunning to be successful. Narcissists always win- and will continue to rule the roost!
Absolute Truth. I had been laid off because I was unable to get a right project while in wfm. There were few times, I felt sad leaving the comp in this way that I worked for 11 + years. I had worked my @*** in this place but this was the blunt truth of my life, that I had lost my identity of what my skills and potentials being with ducks and was in guilt phase. I was a person who was not keen on the money part or the growth just wanted to do best without annoyance! This is something I needed to hear before I take up another job.
Well said buddy!! They don't even care about your sacrifices. I was fired from Accenture in the name of cost cutting. I begged them to not to fire me, even showed them my offer letter from HAL and told them that I forego HAL for Accenture. That moment I felt that I was the biggest a****le to choose Accenture over my dreams.
What are sacrifices? A job is a mutually accepted deal. That is it.
It is a private company job all they cares about revenue you are just a factory worker in suits and you should also be like them just do work what you are paid for and then just leave
After looking HAL offer, like you they too think you AH and decide to fire 100% confirm
LOL I don't believe it. You forego a Defense PSU to work in a software company? In fact you shouldn't have tell them that you did this shit. Your stupidity justified their reason to fire you.

For 6 years , from Oct 2005 to Nov 2011, I have worked in entry to lower management level positions in companies like Wipro, Firstsource, Aditya Birla Minacs & IBM. I can vouch for everything said in this video, especially the "no one cares about you" part.
The problem is that people in India are unaware about socioeconomic analysis and then they say office politics is toxic. You can be on the other hand of the office politics, suppressing other people. The way it works is that if you are in majority somewhere, you have the power. And if you are vocal and you pretend as if you are sure about your decisions, then no body can stop you.
The problem is these days people join these big brands while they go to BTech colleges from tier 1,2 for campus placements and pick up students from reservations there who have seen dirt in life. They then come and spread their dirt everywhere and you as hardworking person keep crying.
For a person from middle class family in IT who is living in Haryana/Punjab or above states (on basis of HDI), best way of income is through working in startups in specialised roles and going into freelancing/remote work from there. That is OUR normal. We can rule in that domain. Jobs in IT consultancies is not made for BTech cse students from middle class. Firstly, you did btech and chose a degree which was already way above your "aukaat". Bcoz btech is expensive degree. Now, you can't bear the lifestyle that comes with it.
If you have done btech cse, do an extra certification in development/testing and go for specialised roles. Don't settle for less and get into a PBC startup or a mid sized Indian company. Don't target the MNCs coz they won't pick you. Even if they do, it isn't worth it. They only take IIT, NIT students, majority of whom are reservation students or from UP Bihar.
I was one of the most successful employee of a big company. My manager, senior manager to unit head, each & everyone valued me. Since I am good at adopting new things, I was continuously given new roles & challenges. Obviously, you can't get success 100% of projects, particularly when the projects mostly had low chance of success. Eventually, I won every other corporate award on Innovation blah blah, but when it comes to growth, I understood I'm the least paid at my level. Left the job to take up a role where I will build a team that would fire same shot 10000 times in 10 projects. That's it. I am far less happy now, but get far fat paychecks. That's your point 2. It is truth

True words. Happens in most of the bigger companies.
Startups or small companies on the other hand are able to defy this quo and some are building good cultures, but as soon they grow bigger, I've seen them start to adopt these things at some levels. Problem is on the other side too, not just the companies.
Btw, the 1000:1 difference part, I have a different take. While i do feel that the starting salaries of a freshers can be higher than that but
I feel the main culprit for this part is the industry and academia not having any sync.
And about the payment gap, we have seen that once the same fresher climbs up the ladder, either by switching or whatever, and is paid way higher than the newbies he feels it's justified while the newbie will consider it unfair. That's in nature. Can't help with that.

I have also worked in 4vcompanies including TCS Wipro, I agree with you in 5 point but as far as job satisfaction comes I want to say there is absolutely no job satisfaction for those who are good at study since childhood because they have mentality to study without payment, but when they are forced to work for money they become highly unsatisfied, but for those who were bad at study since childhood they actually work hard to get money.
Also disagree on point of learning new things etc . As a developer there are too much to do as most get burn out, there is no job satisfaction of not repeating things and getting burn out due to n number of hours study after job because one has to grow in career.
Unfortunately I want you say corporate culture is not sustainable and will end up like doomed communist religion of Russia.
Another point is those kind of manager you met are actually those donkey class poor study students who reached that place because corporate is all about promotion, skills only matter at lower employees.
"donkey class"? something must have gotten lost in translation...did you use google translate?
So those who are bad at studying are ready to be corporate slaves? Is that your point?
Beautifully put, I was a topper till high school but I hate working for money, at least I'm in a central bank and there is very little stress,
I fully agree on the point that corporate culture is not sustainable and also the comunist model as for ex in Russia is no solution. We need a new model of doing business with more inclusion and humanity on all levels. Saluti from Italy.

Would like to join your company sir. Any openings available?
Any vacancy?
Fake ho aap 😂
Which company!?
Really give me power bi job opportunity. Experience 6.5 years.
I think the reasons are:-
1) The cost of cheap labour along with the talents that too in a quantity are a win win situation in a country like India for the international companies.
2) As a result of above Indias corporate world has moved more into service oriented model .instead of research and innovation oriented model
3) After graduation getting a job in corporate sector is much easy than other core jobs , because no matter whatever is the salary , things are eye catchy , brand oriented and ofcourse comes with benefits . Unless ones who are extremely and specifically field and career oriented persons.
4) With the amount of graduates produced by India every year it nearly equalises , the job requirement ratio between no of fresher openings to the no of grads produced.
I wouldnt say this is a problem always, but there is definetely . For each problem there must be an alternate job and field competition in the employment industry to avoid monopoly of corporate world

When they need some help, they will talk to us softly and get all the details. When I ask for some help, they wont even reply to our emails. Such a dirty company, Accenture.
Typical mentality of new Indian immigrants who are looked upon as cheap labour by the goras..this line of thinking is probably what most of Irish think about you.

1) Employer care about profit.
2) Satisfaction & Income are contradictory.
3) Employer hire for achieving their goal.
4) Exploits by overtime.
5) Teasing by micro managing.
6)Salary difference between executive & employees
Every point here is so true and it's causing a lot of stress amongst people who work in companies. The main problem is that the government hasn't made strict rules for how these companies treat their employees. People who are just starting their jobs get very little compensation and are made to work really long hours, like 12 hours a day. And now the expectations of working 70 hours a week seems pretty much unrealistic as well. These companies refuse to hire additional staff but overload the existing employees with too much work. No extra salary for overtime as well. The government doesn't seem to be doing much about these problems. Because of all this, many of us are getting early age health issues, and we barely have time for our families or ourselves and there is an incremental burden of loans, EMIs and bills . Living expenses in metro cities are high, and our salaries don't match the efforts we put in. Income inequality is also rampant, with distinct salary brackets for the same work, role, and responsibilities based on the colleges attended, favoring employees from tier 1 colleges while offering comparatively lower compensation to those from tier 2 or 3 institutions. It's no longer about candidates' skills and contributions or even the experience of the candidate anymore.
Unfortunately that's true.
I faced a very bad managers.
She was not only micro managing me, she went out of ethical line to create issues in my personal life too. She broke my blossoming relationship because she thought I shouldn't be get very good guy.

This is what we have been experiencing throughout the years. When people have been criticising government employees for not working and saying they should learn from corporates, in my mind I always thought about these points you said. Sadly, the corporates in India are exploiting their employees, especially the lower level employees. The saddest thing is that nobody, no government, no HR and not even the employees themselves care about this exploitation.

@@aarjunpp you can read much more in detail on internet. But basically the interference of global consultants has increased, they demand the corporate work ethic and even the auditors are third party
In a way it’s benefiting the government to deliver on time. But corporates have complaint that bureaucrats are lethargic. That’s why the deadlines and workflow is getting set on corporate level.
Also, government is relying more on contractual services, like TCS for passport, but same for government offices, universities. This also organises it more on corporate life,
As the lobbying will rise more, the demand for outcomes and faster outcomes will rise.
Yes few jobs are quite relaxed, but there are many, in financial and urbanisation, infra based government jobs that demand over work. Perks are there as per it.

One thing I learned about the job market is that they do not care about your family members, they only care about their benefit in hiring you.
Absolutely true. I will never recommend working in corporate for its not worth it . Your contribution means nothing, you are just a number. Seriously, it’s better to run your own business. Be it a e-commerce or your own startup. It’s not going to be easy but at least you are in control of your growth instead of being dependent on your employer.
I would not say that and it depends. You can be smart as well and just do what is required and get the pay check. Survive and build on the side. Cash flow is very important. My 2 cents.
even opening a small super market is a good deal
So what do you suggest about ways to make a living.
Business?
Not everyone can do business mate, there are lots of people for whom job is everything, they need money to survive, they can't take risks due to poor financial conditions. Don't be so biased about doing a business.
It's 100% correct.
Can you say why there is on -roll and off-roll in corporates.
Onroll gets leave travel benefits, access to learning management systems, while off-roll don't get converted to on-roll even after 1 year.

Re point 5: if you dare to mention something controversial when suggestions are called for, you will be targetted as “troublemaker”, “not a team player” or a “blocker”. A swift means of being shunned and quickly removed from the organisation. They only want “team players” who will be infinitely flexible in soaking up more demands from management.
I’m reminded of the quote from Hiratio Nelson, who said (Something along the lines of) “ I am amazed by the pride of men. They will readily sacrifice themselves for the attraction of a piece of coloured ribbon”. (a medal)
Sad truth of ugly exploitations... Well summarized.
same here, working in tcs as data engineer and on the other hand they make us do these payment milestone trackers, basically client billing excel sheet lol
The 1 thing u missed out is once you are experienced in certain field u want to implement new things to the company, even u discuss with md & ceo they will not give u credit for the advice @ that time,& after few days same information is passing among floor.
2. Hire an experienced person, then spy on him try to learn how is doing, be polite give respect everything exploits his secret & once done then start to play blame game or abuse him, spread rumour till d time u leave it 😅
3. Threating d employee using skill matrix tactics, creating drama 4 no reason so that employees don't get unite, false promise of payment rise, delay in payment or sometimes no payment @ all.
4. Purchase material from vendor and not giving payment, changing vendor or search of new vendor.
All abuse from vendor need to be listned by purchase manager.
And what about favoritism and nepotism, a big issue, where I worked as a content developer, the whole content was dependent upon me, and the manager we had was good for nothing, his job was just to assign duty to us, that's it, he never checked the content, no feedback given and when a fault arrived, the whole blame was put on me, as if I am running the company, and that managers own sister was working in the same content development like us, but when the manger left the company, his sister was promoted to his position immediately, I don't know on what basis 😅, when others do mistakes those were highlighted and when she did mistakes, no one knew about that, I left that company right away..
It's genuinely worrisome....for many this blog is an eye opener
Employees are there to help higher management live lavish life
One big problem what I see in people worked in corporate they lacs hearts felt sincerity and love and commitment to employer. Thats because of their work culture. I feel not every one but 90%
As a student who is going to my next step into the corporate , thank you sir for revealing these harsh truth..
Please continue sharing on your valuable experiences.. they're much helpful..

@@helloworld2054 you're absolutely right..but IT industry k alawa core industry v to hona chahiye....IT me saturation aa gya hai , core industry me jda job hai hi nhi. 🙃
In India people are treated like cattles because of population since if someone leaves there are thousands available to replace that is the unfortunate physcology so automatically no value to the person leaving company...
Supply and demand rule! None to blame
All fault of those who reproduce, don't blame the government for everything, if people reproduce everyday then not even God can control it
True
Stop making kids 😎 can u do that
oh my gosh!! each and every word came out of his mouth is the TRUTH!! I have reached nirvana stage now and laugh internally when someone asks me why don't you put in effort when you have so much talent and all 😀 I am like career is just a part of life and not life
I work weekdays, and also on weekends (12 hours on Saturday and 12 hours on Sunday), yet I get no comp off or extra pay. Instead, they also push me to take up other assignments during weekdays where I need to work with folks from the US (basically, work at night as well), when my works hours are supposed to be APAC.
Correct. Do your time and get money. There is nothing like my company. Most of youngsters slog like anything, spoil there health and get peanuts
Wonderful analysis . This is the true face of corporate discrimination in a democratic country
Bro - Like to join you and create a revolution against these Sick HR and labor laws which is sleeping in India. HR is becoming more of a fancy dress competition in most offices in the name of EMP engagement. Unless a person like you balances this culture we together going somewhere terribly wrong. Hats off
A job is not for your enjoyment. That why they pay you (and not you pay them). Separation of your "person" with the "job" requires discipline and this is fundamental to self-care. You take what you like, contribute what it takes and continually judge if this is still a good fit and a good deal. No feelings either way. It is the way it is. Don't ever think of fairness, there is no mechanical fairness anywhere. There may be a narrow reasonable range of fairness or whatever goodness but don't stretch it and it may even shrink. Keep a constant eye for alternatives under all circumstances. Even a dream company may failed, if not turning bad. No one has full control. Circumstances dictate at times.
Exactly I agree ! If you work for 70 hrs you should be paid in accordance of that . Although working that hours is illegal / abnormal / unwarranted !
Well demonstrated bro, harsh truth Corporate will not listen to any employees well being and balanced life
@04:00 Lets get straight on this. Mr Narayan Murthy has gone PARTIALLY mad due to his age. This is because advices are FREE in India. You get it without being asked for.
I was fired 4 times... 5th time i fired back at them.... It's an abyss... People are getting trapped... Sad reality
True that 💯 %. People with Professional degree like medicine, Law, Architecture can have some relief from toxic corporate culture by in parallel focusing on plan B in the form of starting a solo practice or in partnership.
