Svantaggi
Overall Review:
I’m sharing this to shed light on the reality behind the polished facade:
1. Office Timings:
Being punctual and refusing unpaid overtime was somehow seen as an “attitude” problem
2. Productivity Misunderstood:
Never wandered or wasted time — yet “inconsistency” was thrown around like a badge.
3. Bullying? No:
Polite WFH requests were twisted into accusations of bullying. Flexibility isn’t a crime.
4. Client Work & Training:
Handled significant client responsibilities and communication independently after minimal initial training. Despite managing key tasks efficiently, recognition and fair credit were lacking. Feedback was often delayed or inconsistent, and criticism replaced constructive review.
5. Policy:
Policies change from person to person. There’s no consistency — some employees are granted flexibility or consideration easily, while others face unnecessary hurdles or disrespectful communication for the same requests.
6. Blamed for Client Loss:
Interviewed for another client while others did the same later and failed to onboard, yet I was blamed.
7. Managing the Client:
Handled key communication and workload during a senior’s absence, though he/she remained the official contact.
8. Leave Expectations:
Expected to work 12–15 extra hours before planned leave to cover the senior’s workload.
9. PIP Acceptance:
Accepted PIP not for poor work but to avoid drama. Reliable work didn’t equal recognition.
Takeaway:
If fairness, respect, and consistency matter to you, look elsewhere. Dedication here was mistaken for defiance, and professionalism for attitude.
