New Delhi: An engineer from Pune publicly shared the reason for leaving his job, which was more important than the salary worth crores and job security. Bhupendra Vishwakarma, who works as a systems engineer in Infosys, has written a post on LinkedIn revealing how he left his first job without getting a second job. He shed light on his experiences and various reasons due to which he took this big step. In his post, Bhupendra mentioned several systemic issues that came up while working in a big tech company like Infosys, which employees often face silently. He explained that these issues are not just his personal experience, but may be common to other employees as well.
No financial benefits received
Bhupendra said that he worked hard for three years, met his team's targets and performed well, but despite this he did not get any financial benefit from his promotion. He says that when he was promoted from “Systems Engineer” to “Senior Systems Engineer”, his salary did not increase. He said, “I worked hard for three years, lived up to expectations and contributed to the team, but received no financial reward for my hard work. The unit where Bhupendra was posted was not profitable, as his The manager also admitted that due to this he neither got a salary increase nor an opportunity to advance in his career, “As my manager admitted, the account was in loss. This affected both salary increase and career growth.
affect mental state
It felt like I was at a professional standstill and there was no way forward.” The need for immediate feedback from customers created a high-pressure environment. The ever-increasing stress over small things and the need for problem solving took a toll on employees. Pendra said, “This pressure was felt at every level, which increased mental and physical stress. It was like a constant 'firefighting' situation, with no room for personal well-being.” Although Bhupendra received praise from his colleagues and superiors, this praise did not translate into any kind of promotion, salary increase or career advancement. Bhupendra felt that his hard work was only being exploited and was not being rewarded properly.
You don't get a job based on your qualifications
Bhupendra also told that in Infosys, recruitment for onsite work (in foreign branches) was done on the basis of language and not on the basis of qualification of the employees. He says, “Onsite opportunities were never based on merit, but on linguistic preferences. Preference was given to those who spoke Telugu, Tamil or Malayalam, while Hindi-speaking employees were ignored. This discrimination was extremely disappointing to me. And was inappropriate. He said, “I took this step for my self-esteem and mental health. Working in an organization that ignored these basic issues was impossible for me.
Employees are not just resources
Bhupendra concluded, “Corporate managers now have to stop denying reality and find solutions to these problems. Employees are not just resources, they are human beings, who have their own aspirations and limitations. If these toxic practices are ignored, organizations will not only lose talent, but their credibility will also suffer. With this step, Bhupendra has drawn attention towards the problems that many employees working in Indian technology companies have to face. He not only raised his voice but also supported many employees who may not be able to expose their problems publicly.
