Employee on Reddit claimed their IT manager forced 12-hour logins and weekend work. <\/p>\n

The employee, posting on Reddit, wrote: \u201cThis is supposed to be one of the top IT service companies but the experience with this project has been really disappointing. A female manager handling 100+ team members sends messages that everyone should be logged in the system for 12 hrs starting at morning 7 am. She doesn\u2019t even have the guts to send an official email or involve HR. Everyone in the team hates her. What\u2019s worse, the higher-ups on this project are just as bad. Associates here are treated more like labourers than skilled professionals. She also pressures to log in on Saturdays too. Honestly, one of the worst projects I\u2019ve seen in terms of management and work culture. And this behaviour is not about one day, she asks associates to work 12 hrs every week and also forces to work on Saturdays as well. Her designation is Team Manager.\u201d<\/p>\n

The post, titled \u201cManager asking to login for 12 hrs started from 7am, one of the top IT firms,\u201d has since drawn significant attention.<\/p>\n

Reactions pour in from frustrated professionals<\/p>\n

Many users on the platform expressed anger and disbelief over the alleged working conditions. One user commented, \u201cThis sounds like modern-day exploitation disguised as dedication.\u201d Another added, \u201cTwelve-hour mandatory logins? That\u2019s not work ethic\u201d<\/p>\n

Several professionals from the IT industry weighed in with similar experiences. \u201cI faced the same thing at another major IT firm,\u201d one said. \u201cManagers act like they own you once you\u2019re on a project.\u201d Another Redditor shared, \u201cThis is why attrition rates are so high. People are leaving not for money, but for mental peace.\u201d<\/p>\n
