  • Anna Sebastian Perayil's case raises a lot of concerns and questions about the work-life balance challenges in India. It is an eye-opener for all of us who are stuck in the rat race to earn more, get promoted faster and so on. It is also an eye-opener for organisations who do not focus enough on the well-being of their employees and treat them just as a number and not as a human.
    It is high time that we as employees take our well-being seriously and start refusing excess work if our health is getting impacted.

    A heart wrenching incident for sure. Have to take our health seriously and prioritise it. These big organisations only want us to work and work endlessly

    👍 Key takeaways:
    1) Choose your area of work carefully, (e.g. Risk Advisory is less stressful than Audit & Assurance)
    2) Do reference check on your boss before joining, and if already trapped look out for ways to move to a different function or firm.
    3) Beware of colleagues who suck up to the bosses!!

    Until now, I was thinking that she could've left the job, etc.
    But now I understand how wrong this is to the core. This cannot be entertained. Jo galat hai vo galat hai. We must not glorify such managers. You've changed my POV. Thanks!

    Younger people should stop being crazy about the Big 4's. They are definitely overrated, and the work culture is just worse. People who preach about working at such firms are the ones who are ready to lick their superior shoes. Have a character, and do justice to wherever you work. Never get attracted to the salary, the more it is the more stress you will have!!

    One of the finest videos till date on the issues which people do not understand. Thanks sir for this video. I hope this video won't get deleted. Corporate Culture should be fun and enjoyable and not obnoxiously tiring. Recently, I completed articleship, I had situation where people give disparaging references how others are doing , it feels so demotivating.

    Not only big 4, all private, public MNC and Indian companies do operate only in this manner.. Gvt should pass a bill in Parliament to restrict working hours to 8 hrs in week days with 2 days off. Those not interested to follow this rule should quit the country.. All these companies staff in u s, u k, Europe work only 6 hrs in a day.

Ca student 2 and 3 years full time kaam karte hein and see this mba students wo toh kabhi kabhi 6months bhi nahi internship karte and mba internship count karte. Pata nahi kya ho gaya he companies ko. They don't even see how much Ca students study hard and also work hard. Pagal he companies ke recruiters. Mba students se jyada knowledge hoti he ca articleship mein padai mein
