Pros
Leaving the company is the best thing
Cons
I recently quit a firm in Gurgaon, and honestly, the relief is huge. I was hired for operations, but my day felt like a never-ending sales marathon because the actual sales team would make impossible promises to clients just to close deals, then disappear. I was the one getting called a 'fraud' by angry customers while commuting 12 hours a day for a 6-day work week on minimum wage.
The breaking point was during a 'review drive' in April. Management promised us ₹100 for every review we brought in. I managed to get 15 reviews in just three days, thinking it would help with the low salary, but they never paid a single rupee. It’s one thing to have a heavy workload, but being forced into every department’s mess while being lied to about incentives is another level.
How do you deal with companies that expect you to be a 'jack of all trades' for basic pay? Is it even worth trying to navigate the culture in these small 'Lala' setups, or is jumping ship the only real option?
