Seems the senior director encourages after hour and weekend work but he did not say it in public. Talked to me once in a language other than English (we are from the same country originally) during a voice call after I missed a not-so-urgent email during Saturday morning (I responded Saturday night but he resolved it himself). He said he expected me to work during weekend and night and can not be lazy in this company. And he keeps saying the same thing afterward few times during 1 on 1 call which makes me feel pretty guilty. I am not lazy. I work 9 to 6 and most of the weekdays 9pm to midnight as well. I am glad I don't have family or kid otherwise I would have no time to sleep. #burnout #mentalhealth
Look up Stockholm syndrome if you don't know what it is. Then open LC and GTFO
Yes I am looking for new opportunities now. Thanks for your support.
Tell that director to fu** off. It is called weekend for a reason. I only open my laptop during the weekend if I feel like it or have nothing better to do
He is pretty dominate in our organization and other people would not argue with him. Once there's a person few years older than me argued and it went pretty uncontrollable. I don't want to waste time on this.
Change teams
Pretty sure it's an Indian director.. perfect fit for Amazon
Record the conversations and keep the emails. Then get a lawyer and teach them some respect.
Emails look good. I will try to record next time. Thanks for your advice!
Please shut up. No, we’re not guilty of anything. Change jobs. This is not normal and no it’s not expected. It’s a huge red flag wherever you are. It should not be excused unless you’re literally in an active war zone or saving someone’s life with emergency surgery. Everything else can wait until normal working hours.
Wtf, your job isn't your life. Leave asap
You can feel guilty for still staying at the same job
Wtf thats toxic
Yes. I could be wrong but he seems to be much more toxic with people from the same country which I don't quite understand.
It’s very common to be toxic to your own people. Since he / she believes it’s not going to harm them since you will not speak up. Leave the team. This is very toxic
