Landing a good job with a balanced work culture is becoming increasingly difficult. One professional recently discovered this and shared their experience on the Indian Workplace subreddit. The Reddit user recounted how they joined a new job full of excitement, only to resign after just one day. The reason? A toxic work environment that felt like it was stuck in the dark ages.
The professional was left stunned by how outdated the workplace was, discovering that the company operated almost entirely on physical paperwork. In an era defined by cutting-edge technology and streamlined digital workflows, the organisation insisted that all documents be printed and submitted for review. For someone accustomed to modern tools and efficient practices, it felt like a massive step backwards.
The work schedule made an absolute mockery of the work-life balance that companies today must provide their employees. The professional had to operate in 12-hour work shifts, starting at 9 AM and lasting until 9 PM. It would’ve been impossible for the Redditor to manage his work and family responsibilities together.
From the very first day, the professional felt a growing sense of doubt and even considered walking away. However, a major concern held them back—the fear of being labelled as “absconding” in their Provident Fund records, a tag that could potentially jeopardise future job opportunities. Caught in this dilemma, they turned to Reddit, seeking timely advice from fellow professionals who might have faced similar crossroads.
Many Redditors, having faced their own struggles with toxic or outdated work cultures, resonated with the professional’s story and stepped in with support and advice. The community overwhelmingly encouraged the individual to leave the job as soon as possible and offered practical tips on how to handle potential issues with Provident Fund records.
One user lightened the mood with a witty comment: “If the firm marks you as absconded, just tell future employers you felt like you were in a time machine.” Another added humour to the absurdity of the situation: “I joined a company only to land in 1975, dodging typewriters and fax machines as part of the daily grind. I had to quit before they assigned me a pet dinosaur for the daily commute.”
“Good opportunity to instill a change. Give them feedback, suggest improvements and tell them you can lead it. If they still won’t change, quit,” someone else added.
