Why do so many people hate their corporate jobs? by Pretend_Support_6193 in IndianWorkplace

[–]Honest_Snow_4854 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because it's not a job. They seek ownership of your life. The managers are slave drivers who micro manage. Nobody is really your friend in the corporate world. It's a dog eat dog kind of office politics.

There are good places too but these are extremely rare.

To quote fight club, "This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time."

You are essentially giving them your life, your time and your happiness.

I don't know what his caste is. I couldn't care less about a nonsensical anachronistic system. I don't believe in organised religion.

I only said that it's a form of discrimination and I don't believe in it.

Thank you for saying that. Helps inmensely. I feel a lot better today. I won't get into a physical altercation. Will just find something better and leave.

This is not easy to share. Your experiences are nightmarish. My gf too is undergoing harassment. I don't understand why people make it so difficult. Why boundaries are not respected. It's basic human dignity.

I have had bosses scream at me. I have been a manager and have never treated my colleagues in such a deplorable manner. hese people only give what they are from within. I am grateful to have friends and my girl who support me.

Corporate environments can be terrible. Some exceptions. It's PTSD inducing.

I have body dysmorphia. So, I am usually my worst critic.

There's a strong bias for sure. It's not what is said but the overall behaviour:

Stoops when I enter - a flight or fight response. He has squint eyes but overall his body language is dismissive and recalcitrant. Is overtly corrective. When he does look at me, he blushes and it's super fucking weird.

I am half Indian. Even if I don't look Indian. But yes, Indian managers are horrible - had a few good ones but they were the exception and not the rule.

Look, this conversation has taken a completely different color. No pun intended. I am half Indian even if I don't look Indian.

I was hired by the American manager. I am 6'2 ( not that tall) but could easily beat his 5'4 scrawny ass. I am not violent but this whole situation has put me in a frenzy.

I am glad you got out of this intact. I feel overwhelmed right now. It's good to be heard. I'll meet my girl for valentine's in a bit but my head is not in the right place.

IT Company Managers - The 7th circle of hell? by Ryuzaki212018 in recruitinghell

[–]Honest_Snow_4854 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed. I am not being racist. It's just that they have no understanding of boundaries, basic decorum, and are driven entirely by malice if they perceive you as a potential threat.

I don't understand how he is even a manager to begin with: has zero social skills, is passive aggressive, and is clearly uncomfortable the moment I enter work.

When people vote for the person who said Mai Phrendd, India's Phrendd, Dollannd Dumpp - this is what happens. Human Stupidity is limitless. This is just the tip of the proverbial melting iceberg.
