High performers, how often do you have slack off days?
I have been feeling so frustrated working in webex contact center org under a horrible manager who live in the 'US' ( (Indian) you know what I mean). Culture is too bad, leaders think the employees working under them are their slaves but in reality there are several technically illiterate (those who migrated to US and have a post graduate degree from some Hululu universities) people are in leader role in this org. To name a few Parikh,Gupta etc There's something called daily scrum in this team in which leaders call out names of employees in roll number basis (they follow kindergarten rules) every day in a conference call and everybody has to report their status, if you fail to report for some days, they'll be in leader's radar and they make sure you're screwed!. Work life balance = Big 0. whoever ready to lick the boots of these terrible leaders and clap every time for their shit show would survive here. Most of them working in this team are old uncles who don't have any hope in their life and they exist only to screw people up. I'm going mad here and wanna get of this shit pond asap. #cisco
same story across company, magnified more in Engineering, just look at the diversity. horrible tribal work culture as if we are back in a caste society in 1700s. They speak their own languages to hide some things. Favor hometown buddies, max nepotism.
I am sure this is the brown people. 😂
Yup 100% agreed, worst in engineering, leaders knows nothing and they only favor their people, favorite don’t have to work just smile, talk with big mouth and lick boots. And they only lay off non-Indian if they can.
I wouldn't say all Indians are fall into this category. I worked with many energised and brainy Indian folks in the past. 80% of them are easy to deal with and very knowledgable in their domain but rest 20% are terrible guys working in Cisco. I recently had a conversation about this with one of my ex Indian colleagues, according to him people working in Cisco are mostly from Northern India, they're good at nothing except playing office politics.
Stick it out for a bit longer if you can. Job market is unforgiving right now. Also daily scrum - stand ups is fairly common in many teams. I wouldn't say that itself qualifies as micromanagement.
Yes trying my best to do so. btw, I didn't mean stand ups are qualified for micromanagement but the leader's mentality do definitely qualify for it.
Hang in there and get yourself ready for job interview, best if they decided to lay you off with an package and you are ready to interview for your next job.
