work culture

At a time when work environment and office culture are significant for productivity, a Reddit user shared his bizarre experience, where he was marked absent. Notably, Redditor said, he was stuck in the office lift, and got late to work, when his HR despite knowing the reason, marked him absent and cut his salary. Furthermore, threatening appraisal, they asked him to work with loss-of-pay, amid staff shortage. Netizens expressed sympathy.

Ashneer Grover, ousted co-founder of BharatPe, turned the discussion towards controversy, after penning distasteful tweets. Notably, Pitti tweeted that this was a "hugely prevalent" problem, pointing out that it resulted in companies wasting time and resources for no gain, as employees end up not showing due to different jobs. Best to tone down your expectation that you employ daily wagers in the guise of salaried-folk, said Ashneer

An International Labour Organization report exhibited that in the Asia-Pacific region, Indians are the most over-worked earning the least minimum statutory wage. Ranking fifth in the terms of working hours, the report stated that Indians work over 48 hours a week, followed by China, UK, US and Israel. Moreover, leaving out a few sub-Saharan African countries, the minimum wages of Indians are the lowest.
