Did you know I was stuck in the worst company with the worst job ethics and people for the last 2 years. Waaa waa you may say get over it, no one likes their job anyway.
Not true, within the first two weeks I was heckled and was called a woman who played the woman card all because I reported status ( my number one role as program manager) , I started getting panick attacks and realized that intimidation is a way of working here.
People start by calling you shit on your face so that you are too afraid to voice out anything.
No good practice follows and anyone could come and shout at me anytime they want.
I developed sleeping disorder ( I still cant sleep for more than 5 hours a day) , a lot of workdays started with a dull stomach ache.
Its not the work hours, I have always worked for 10 continuous hours, but the disrespect was humungous here.
But I stayed, shamefully so. Perhaps because I didnt have enough money at that time, because I want to support my new family and because I didnt want to be played by another company.
At the risk of sounding proud, most of the folks around me dont have my qualifications, work experience or worth. And I didnt want to let that go again.
So i did the only thing I knew I could, I suffered through it all.
Few know that I gave interviews at Amazon, JP Morgan, IDFC, Warner Brothers , Upstox, Morgan Stanley and recieved offers from almost all of them. But there were challenges, I worked day and night to set up the payment aggregator business of a company where people could give two shits about it. I worked on adding it to my resume, so that one day I could turn all this into an opportunity and it did.
Today I’m at the far end of my notice period, The new CIO has personally requested me to stay back. But I can’t this time.
I’m carrying with me the feeling that I can win and I can quit and next time onwards, possibly I wont stick around for 2 years.
