“ Football with 15 -minute lunches ”: Fresh Grad opens on the culture shock at the first work, Internet users react

A young professional talked about the clear difference between his internship and his full -time role, causing a broader conversation on the culture of the workplace in India.

“I did an internship with a different team, it was really an incredible period. Good team, good breaks and good work,” said the employee.

But after joining full -time, reality has changed. “The team in which I joined full-time is weird. They were overwork. I left my 9 hours finished once or maybe an additional 30 minutes, but here this team arrives at 9 years old, stays up to 8-9 every day,” they said, adding: “I feel guilty when I left. I did not work the first week and I had the impression of judging.”

Even lunch breaks are rushed. “The lunch breaks that they will eat in 15 minutes, come back to work. My previous team, we went to walk / play with table football.”

Also on weekends, said the employee, are not spared. “They already made us work on Saturday. Some even work on Sunday (with the name of the end of sprint, need more efforts). ”

The strongest criticism was reserved for leadership. “The project manager is the worst of the person to be a PM, does not even know how to plan things correctly and I really miss the PM that I had during my internship.”

The message ends with a more important question: “So, is it almost all other companies in India? Or is it because I am outside the university, so maybe feel it?”

The account affected a sensitive string with others online. A comment said: “These are the people who bring toxicity to a team.” Another asked frankly: “Wack the hours for what exactly?” These are typical companies in Lala. “
