A Bengaluru-based software professional has sparked widespread discussion after exposing a “toxic work culture” at the Indian arm of a US-based company. The revelations, shared in a detailed LinkedIn post, followed his abrupt termination after just three months of employment.
The techie recounted facing “extreme micromanagement” and a lack of “constructive guidance” under his former manager. “I was expected to perform like experienced employees without proper training or mentorship,” he wrote, adding that his supervisor often focused on trivial matters, such as exceeding break times by a minute, rather than fostering growth or offering feedback.
Despite being upfront during interviews about his limited SaaS experience, he said the company assured him of adequate support. However, after joining in September, he found himself managing 35–40 cases weekly, frequently working two extra hours daily, even after his shift ended. He claimed his concerns were dismissed by his supervisor, worsening the work environment.
The LinkedIn post drew a wave of solidarity and outrage online. Many users shared similar experiences with the company, with some alleging systemic practices of avoiding employee benefits like ESOPs by laying off workers within their first year.
“This company has a reputation for driving out senior employees because of its hostile work culture,” one user commented. The post has amplified conversations around workplace accountability and employee rights.
