Surprized seeing extreme sir culture and weird hierarchy.
So i joined this org, i read about the traditional culture but I didnt expect it to be this weird. On Friday itself I was surprized to see this extreme bootlicking. It was awkward. My colleagues starts calling everyone sir then agree to whatever the manager says and again nod to everything plus they also do it outside. They dont even point out a flaw thats how bad it is. Although I am still learning as a new joinee but If I use first names they are like why are you acting oversmart and they also feel like I should be respecting like them. Hierarchy is insane and theres so much pressure to conform. In my last company I had a flat culture and this is a complete shift and its getting hard to cope up. The worst part is its so normalised and everyone here literally have no problem behaving like this.

Embracing life through work
Remember I’d read this quote when I was just starting out with my work life. Had noted it down and just chanced upon it again. I know it’s a bit extreme as a thought. As years go by, I’ve started believing in this much lesser. I would give anything for my first company to succeed. That’s the psyche a lot of us enter our first jobs with. Don’t remember but I think this is why I’d noted down the quote. One toxic manager and one startup that is crooked later, you get derailed. You think you need to value your work lesser in the context of the larger life. But it doesn’t give me happiness. I think I’m too much of a Type A, to ever be in a place where I feel I’m not doing enough of what I want to do, with my career. Life can be embraced through work. It just doesn’t need to stop within the confines of your job and company. I’ll try to be more like the fresher me.
