User X claimed that Indian employers are entering into “unnecessary familial ties” with employees in order to “cheat” them into working more.
Indian corporate culture is primarily based on a comprehensive understanding of organizational dynamics. After working in an organization for a certain period of time, superiors and subordinates often develop a comfortable relationship with each other. However, this sense of security and familiarity can sometimes hinder an employee's growth. Highlighting a similar issue, a user named Siddharth shared a post on microblogging platform . His post sparked a viral discussion among users.
Mr. Siddharth argued that employers form unnecessary familial relationships and ties with employees in order to avoid having to pay them for overtime and overtime work. In his post, he revealed that his cousin's brother tried to resign and was stopped by his boss, who said he “treated you like a brother.” He also criticized his bosses in the post, saying that India's corporate culture still has a presence of “uncles” and “bhaiyas” who exploit workers in the workplace. He added that workers are fooled by this emotional manipulation and do not receive a pay increase. He writes: “Professionalism is very important when working. There is no didi and no biya. The company is never yours. It's just a trap.”
In his post, Siddharth shared a personal anecdote about how he signed a construction contract with someone and the contractor immediately said, “We're like brothers from now on.” To this, Siddharth tells him that once the deal is completed, he will become his brother. Until then, the relationship will be professional as money is involved.
When this post was uploaded to X, it quickly went viral and many people started agreeing with his views. Many users took to the comments section to share their experiences. One user wrote: “The amount of risk taken by the employer is greater than the risk taken by the employee. It is very naive to think that they will distribute the benefits equally or equitably. There is a need to clarify the class of employees,” We should always look for opportunities that benefit us, instead of falling into the trap of “we are a family.” ”
My cousin finally quit the poorly paid job he held for almost 10 years. The boss is furious and gives a guilt trip main tumko bhai se badukal mana.
Toh bhai jab itna mana hai aur duki hai aske job chorne se toh business partner bana le far?!
We still have this in India…
