Who's responsible for toxic work culture In India
One interview, 1000+ job opportunities
Take a 10-min AI interview to qualify for numerous real jobs auto-matched to your profile 🔑The real architects of toxic work culture are the boot-lickers and show-offs — and they exist in every generation, so let's stop blaming it on age groups. These are the people who've mastered the art of looking busy: sending emails at midnight, staying late for no reason, and kissing up to managers — all without delivering anything of substance. The real damage? Managers start mistaking this performance for dedication and set it as the benchmark. Now suddenly everyone else is expected to match this theater of productivity, creating unrealistic standards built on a foundation of nothing. And then — the cherry on top — enter some Gen Z folks who confidently stride in, don't know the basics, won't bother learning, and somehow still manage to do the bare minimum while the rest of the team quietly picks up the slack. So now you have boot-lickers raising the bar on one end, and some 'I don't do emails, that's not my vibe' folks dropping the floor on the other — and the poor middle is just... holding everything together and burning out.
Very high population of India is the reason for toxic behaviour. Any salaried employee in private sector of India if he feels he is not replaceable, he is brutally wrong. There are 10 people waiting to be filled and will do double the work at half the salary of the person who is currently employed.
Only reason for toxic culture is people with power that they don't deserve. They know they don't deserve it. So they will go to any length to keep it. They will steal anybodys credit to rise even higher. Insecure undeserving management is the bane of every firm.
None of the above. Demand supply economics. Every person who goes to college goes with a single ambition find a job that pays well. Untill that changes, work place behaviour will not change.
The government is responsible. Europe has strong laws for work hours and protection of labor. India does not. Hence we are at the mercy of how employers wants to treat us
It's the population, actually.
Ppl r so hopeless from the current system they're not even dreaming. We still see scars from the colonial time period in one way or another. Ppl don't have a stable family background so that they can think of anything else, they're surviving pay chk to pay chk. If you take an example of GenZ most of them have stable bg so they have leverage to say NO unlike others. Going frwd this will change. Ppl see clg as a place whr they can make ends meet not the place for skills and knowledge.
You will not find anyone who has British rule scars. People still lead great peaceful lives untill they revolted against British. Current day politicians are real crooks and leeches.
Junior Team members who wants to be visible everywhere but don't want to own any responsibility/accountability and play innocent to free load as much and most importantly play victim to seek sympathy from managers..
I don't think that's the case here, nowadays jr prefers not to come in lime light as salary hike will be the same as every other newbie, no matter whatever work u do promotion after fix time, so they don't work extra, they know growth is only through switch. Jr is a victim here from a manager who is incompetent and afraid of losing his position.
There should be an option called 'indians'. Coz they carry their caste mentality and superiority complex everywhere. Even work!!
Agree on the superiority complex, but caste is the thing from the past mostly used by politicians and people trusting them. I have never created friends or treated anyone based on his/her caste. Real discrimination is between SUPER RICH and REST of the country.
