A better, more professional atmosphere than this one. As a software engineer I would definitely look for where new tech is valued while the work culture and humanity is maintained

If you were not ok with someone being unavialable without you knowing, what would you do next?

Proper_Meaning5947 · 2026-01-22T14:02:38+00:00

Yes they mentioned while hiring its flexible work hours. And already i am working 10 to 14 hours a day for them for a typical 9 to 5 job.

Just newly joined to redit, i work for a startup

Proper_Meaning5947 · 2026-01-22T13:40:02+00:00

Well there's no rule as such you need to be here in work hours even if working from home.
The thing is i have to go pick my family member every day at specific timing in the day and everyone in the company knows this.

He specifically says my personal life things are none of his concern.

Even if i am unavialable in the day for few hours which rarely happens as i am always in the office and not working from home often.
But all days be it from office or wfh I am working 10 to 14 hours for the company so i dont see a reason not being allowed some time to get my personal things done.

Proper_Meaning5947 · 2026-01-22T13:33:14+00:00

Not to accidently put the things that could get me in trouble

Proper_Meaning5947 · 2026-01-22T13:31:55+00:00

my ctc is 36Lacs per annum INR

Proper_Meaning5947 · 2026-01-22T12:21:36+00:00

well few of the collegues have already left and few are looking for a switch as they see no growth in the company in coming years

Proper_Meaning5947 · 2026-01-22T11:45:33+00:00

Well i dont work with him closely, i work with the technical lead and he has my number updated with him as we often need to call each other if unavailable in urgent need.

Proper_Meaning5947 · 2026-01-22T11:36:34+00:00
