Is this for real?

A middle manager in India allegedly stopped an employee from taking his lunch break. The reason? “Work first, food later.”

But what stood out wasn’t the manager’s behavior  it was the employee’s response:

"Khane ke liye hi toh kama raha hu, aur yahan aap mujhe khana khaane se hi rok rahe ho." 

The employee chose to go ahead with his lunch anyway. His manager? Started ignoring him after that.

This news is  going viral cz this isn't just about food. It’s about dignity. About basic respect. About how hunger is still being overruled by hierarchy in some workplaces.

Yes, many managers today are kind and understanding but stories like this show that toxic thinking still exists in some corners of the workplace, where skipping lunch is weirdly seen as a sign of dedication

Khane ke liye hi toh kama raha hu" One line that exposed a toxic work culture 💔

Why do managers think R&D = “Fix everything magically without time, data, or support”? 

I've been in this role for 3+ years. I love problem-solving. But lately, the expectations are just insane. “Find root cause ASAP.” “Why didn’t you predict this error?” Bro, if I could predict product failures before they happen, I’d be running NASA, not this joke of a team!

And the best part? If it works, no praise. If it fails? Whole team mails, 9 PM calls, and lectures about “ownership”. Seriously, R&D folks deserve better than being treated like backup plans for poor planning!

Being in R&D Doesn’t Mean I’m a Magician!

An Indian techie recently shared something heartbreaking: he lost his father, and amidst the emotional wreckage, he informed his manager. The response?
Finish the rituals and come back.
That’s it. No condolences. No pause. No humanity.

Is this what we've come to?
No respect for employee emotions, no acknowledgment of personal loss, just deadlines and deliverables.

We talk so much about employee well-being and work-life balance in fancy HR decks, but when life hits hard, where does all that empathy go?

Tech & Startups

We are glorifying 80-hour workweeks, caffeine overdoses, and burnout like it’s the recipe for success.
They are racking up debt and loans, only to end up drowning as loan defaulters.
Work hard, hustle harder has turned into Sleep less, stress more.

 Is this the dream?

Startups should be about innovation and impact, not sacrificing mental health.

Can we please hit pause and rethink what success means? Because burnout isn’t a badge of honor
