Dislikes

1. Very less scope to grow 2. Inequitable work pressure 3. Senior leadership is barely available for conflict resolution or during team crisis. Not transparent with teams. 4. Editorial managers are highly incompetent, lacks news judgement and are incapable of making content value addition calls 5. Severe attrition rate -- at least 15 people, including senior editorial recruits, have left the news team in a span of 10 months that I have worked at HT. In comparison, only 3-4 juniors or freshers were hired. This is case with other teams too -- lifestyle, sports, tech, business and multimedia 6. Lack of skill-enhancing trainings and editorial meetings 7. Despite generous leave policy by the company, managers are reluctant to grant them
