1. Micromanagement is common.
2. Company policies are good on paper but the reality in some teams is the exact opposite.
They track whether you're online or offline.
They indirectly monitor if you're away from your desk.
On paper, you can take two sick leaves without proof, but in reality, they ask multiple questions when you try to avail them.
3. Under the excuse of being a public-listed company, there's constant pressure for cost-cutting and revenue generation.
4. They claim to be flexible, but assign work to your full capacity, leaving no room for actual flexibility.
5. Performance doesn’t seem to matter — most employees receive an average rating, while others enjoy the remaining budget.
6. Management acts as if they have thousands of years of experience and dismiss any processes or suggestions from junior employees.
7. You have to practically beg for your earned leaves.
8. The work culture feels like a school or a sales/marketing job, with weekly targets that you’re expected to meet by any means necessary.
9. Some teams are being called into the office 3 days a week due to supposed misuse of remote work — even though it was actually management’s fault.
10. It feels like, in the name of being a public company, we may eventually have to ask permission even to use the washroom.
11. Despite being the same company, the experience varies drastically across teams — some business units have great team environments and flexibility while others are the complete opposite, even though the workload is the same.
12. Employees can give review for tl and managers on paper but not really.
