I used to work less than 4 hours a day all my working life.
Flash forward today I got a new manager and he constantly makes me work. A lot of times it’s just boring stuff like creating a chart, he will schedule a meeting to describe how he wants the chart , he can send me 5 hour calendar block outs, he will ask me to make something for a slide for the CEO but I have never seen him in a meeting with the CEO. He will ask me to churn out 1000s of numbers for executives that I know very well are not going to look at the graph.

Yesterday he told me to work on creating a table from some data in a spreadsheet he created. This spreadsheet is so massive with several 100 tabs and numbers. So I have to extract it and it took me 3 hours. After I was done certain percentages did not look as he expected because some numbers he calculated in the sheet were incorrect and he told me he could not use it for the CEO. So he made me waste my time. He will always bring up how he works nights and weekends. Which I find unnecessary seeing as he constantly brings out garbage work.

Today, I made sure to complete my deliverables for next week and I presented it to him I told him I have surgery tomorrow and he asked me if I will work on Friday. There is nothing to do tomorrow but he still expects me to work just for work sake, he will just find something to assign .

I have 3 YOE, mid 20s and I have a networth of 1.5million, my TC is 150k but this is a paycut from my previous job . My managers TC is 190k. I don’t even have the time to apply for a new job because it seems this guy is constantly dumping stuff on me and I’m just trying to understand the motive.

  • Why did you feel the need to mention the race of the manager? It’s like all non-Indian managers are fucking angels descended from heaven and those poor white folk haven’t ever forced anyone to work hard right?

    Also, I call bullshit on this post - 3 YOE, you worked 4 hours your “whole” working life and you have a net worth of 1.5 million? Your TC is 150 and your managers is 190k? Get the fuck out of here!

    • Lol, Academic Achievement in Science doesn’t mean you are smart. 😂 Gotta be some dumb confidence touting your JEE rank online. (If it’s not low 3 figures, sorry, you have already lost.) Stay in your lane and stick to talking about tech. Sociology and Humanities is not your cup of tea. And, you damn right I get my Jollies from talking down self-hating morons online!

    Have you considered that you might be lazy since you've never worked more than 4 hours a day?

      OP
      Investments go up an down. The last two days market has dropped over 5%. Work is my backup plan and my fear is if I quit and I later on want to get back into the workforce due to reasons like market or real estate crash, I would get sidelined for having gaps on my resume.

      OP, you are starting to make some sense in this sub-thread. The problem you have is that you have a manager who expects you to clock 8 hours. If that doesn’t work for you, you are better of finding another gig. While I am not a fan of micromanagers, you cannot blame them for asking you to work standard 8 hours. Also, I get that you are pissed about that person, but generalizing it as an ‘Indian’ manager makes you sound racist. If you had been better with your language, blind is full of people who can tell you tricks on coasting and side gigs. Next time, start with a positive tone.
