Dislikes

1. Overburden of work. You may want to cover it, but you can't. 2. One person is expected to attend meetings, create articles, topics, webpages, optimize social media, develop new marketing strategies, create calendars, post blogs, manage social media posts, update all sheets regularly, enter timings in Clockify, and handle dozens of other tasks. 3. Seniors are very rude and criticize you on a personal level. They tell you to be independent and take responsibility for your projects, but if you do things on your own, they point out mistakes and insult you for not asking them. A simple mistake in drafting a message is treated as a serious blunder. 4. The seniors themselves make many mistakes but like to point out only the juniors' mistakes. 5.All employees are afraid of the Canadian team and the messages they drop on Basecamp. The Indian team has to follow all the orders. 6. There are many leaves available, but they criticize you if you use those leaves regularly. 7. If the Canadian team messages for an urgent task at 12 am, you may be flooded with messages to do it. Working at odd hours is normalized. There is no work-life balance as you are always thinking about what emails the Canadian team will send you.Working overtime is normalized and appreciated. 8.Managers and the Canadian team can insult you to the point where you might cry and want to resign.You will get up at night to check emails. Work anxiety will ruin your personal life and health.They expect a single person to handle work beyond their potential. 9.The 11 to 8 timing doesn't allow you to do anything else. 10. Everybody at the place is frustrated with other team members. There is always a state of doing things urgently in the office—for completing work, replying to messages, attending meetings, and everything else.The work environment will pressure you to the point where you will hate your job. 11. The timings are not suitable. The Indian team works from 11 to 8, and the Canadian team joins at 6 pm. This means you may have to work overtime to connect with the Canadian team. Most emails are received after 6 pm, and after logging out at 8 pm, you are constantly checking emails from the Canadian team, which they send at night IST. Work timings should be adjusted accordingly. 12. Every now and then, there is a new sheet to create or new tasks to handle. A person can't give their best when they are stuck in meetings, updating sheets, and handling other tasks. 13. So many employees are leaving and new are joining. This constant cycle hampers stability. 14. You can't even avail sick leaves in probation period( 3 months). If you do it's leave without salary. 15. They send outdated and slow desktop to you with faulty headphones, two monitors and i3 CPU. 16. There are trackers in your desktop as they can't stand if you're not available for even a minute in between 11 to 8 pm. They call your from breaks to attend meeting. 17. You have to officially notify powercut, system restarts, internet issues. You may have to work to compensate if you didnt work in that time with over time or leave. But if you over work you dont get any rewards. 18. No one appreciates your good work and hard work. Zero appreciation for your work. But, mistakes are highlighted. 19. You will wait whole year for a very average minimal hike. 20. The Canadian team that interacts with clients and on boards them thinks india team who is working on SEO, content and design is incompetent. They are always scolding the indian team for all small to big tasks....Read More
