OPINION (Manu Bisht): Let's get real! After a long work discussion with a friend, I realised that some people take 'We are a family' more seriously at corporate/work than at their own homes.
•Your family won't REPLACE you if you leave home.
•Your work 'family' doesn't help about your health.
•You are just a RESOURCE at WORK.
•No one at WORK appreciates you if you work extra but will always diss you for leaving ON TIME.
HRs & Manager Needs to Understand: So the HRs and the Managers need to stop saying this and maybe focus on what you hire the employees for. Tell them their KRA, give them a damn raise and not a 'You know how it is' and talk to them when they are not working. And to the employees who get manipulated easily, don't stop using your brain after you get the offer letter.
Stop overworking in the name of PASSION and stop prioritising your WORK for employers who will tell you "Mujhe toh cancer tha tab bhi office attend kiya" when you say "I'm not well, I need an off".
