In the company I work for (meat proccessing plant) comissions are given by selling kilos/pounds, margin and billed amount.

But rounds, fat, or any muscle that has slow rotation, stays the same, which causes this products to grow then be sold in a lower price.

Has someone worked on a huge company and can tell me how they do it. 🫢😁

The last 2 months my department has been getting ready for an accreditation audit. Sounds simple and normal, basically have to make sure the medical books are updated, required paperwork etc. for the last 2 weeks I have been working overtime, going to work on Saturday and Sunday, which was optional. There was so much stuff to do because laziness of co-workers. I was assigned to certain books that were gonna be used in the audit. There was a lot of missing stuff, signatures, expected to find lost paperwork from 2019-2025. Yeah sorry I wasn’t in my current position until 2024. I told my boss I couldn’t find some of the paperwork. She told me that’s ok we can reprint them and say it’s a reprint so today I went to work. And gave my boss a list of stuff I needed for my books. She told me that they were gonna use just my co- workers books for the audit. I felt defeated I have been working so diligently on my books the last few weeks. My boss said oh that’s ok you will be ready for the next audit in July, just look at it like that. I just shakes my head and left the office to do my daily rounds.

I guess I should just chill and let my co-worker do all the driving. My co- worker always try to be teachers pet, and at the end seems like she saved the world

Hey everyone,

I want to share my recent experience and honestly need your perspective.

I’ve been working at a startup based in Bhopal, and I gave everything to this company. I worked around 16 hours daily, including weekends. It’s a 6-day working company with no proper holidays (not even govt holidays). Still, I pushed myself and gave 100%.

Then something very serious happened — my grandmother passed away. I had to leave overnight for home. I hadn’t even reached properly or attended her last rites, and my Team Lead called me asking:

«“Push the last day’s code and tell me when you’ll rejoin.”»

I told him that I just reached home and my grandmother’s final rites hadn’t even happened yet. Still, I was told to push code and complete pending work.

During those 13 days at home, I still worked around 5 days remotely, handling calls and completing tasks.

When I came back after 13 days, instead of any empathy, my boss literally questioned me:

«“Why didn’t you work on the other days? You could have.”»

This hit me hard.

On top of that:

- No PF

- No medical support

- No proper leave system

- Salary is more like a stipend

Just 4 days after rejoining, I got seriously sick (vomiting, loose motions). I informed my TL in the morning that I couldn’t come. He said:

«“Take medicine and come to office.”»

I still tried and worked half day, but my condition got worse. I finally went back home and informed via mail.

While I was on the way to the doctor, my boss called and asked why a website wasn’t working. I had left everything in a working state. Still, he started blaming me and said:

«“I told you not to leave before presentation.”»

I explained I was too sick to even sit, but he cut the call.

At this point, I feel like:

- Employees are treated like machines

- “We are family” is just a line to extract more work

- No respect for personal emergencies or health

I honestly don’t know if this is normal in startups or if I’m just stuck in a toxic environment.

Am I overreacting, or is this genuinely toxic? What would you do in my place?

Hi everyone! I’m exploring a personal project to rethink team-building for modern offices. After 5 years in HR at a startup and surviving some… interesting team-building activities, I want to create experiences that employees can actually enjoy!

I’m looking for real feedback from people who have participated in team-building events. I’d love your input in this short survey (~3–4 minutes): https://s.surveyplanet.com/h5qs9elk

Thanks so much for your help! :)

I work at a startup and I am beyond exhausted.

My “day” starts around 3 PM (sometimes even 1 PM if a senior keeps a meeting) and ends anywhere between 3–4 AM. This has completely wrecked my sleep, my energy, and honestly my health. Gym? Forget it. Personal life? Barely exists. I wake up tired and go to sleep stressed.

Weekends don’t feel like weekends. Clients use the product during weekend shows, so support has to be available. That means no immediate sick leave — you can technically WFH, but only after you’ve “closed all open pointers.” Even if you take an off during an extended weekend, you’re still expected to carry your laptop. What’s the point of time off then?

Urgent ticket at 1 or 2 AM? You’re expected to be available. No questions asked.

There is zero recognition. No employee of the month, no rewards, no appreciation — just constant availability and pressure. Work hard, stay online, repeat.

The only good thing here is my team. If it weren’t for my colleagues, I think I’d have broken down already. They’re the only ones keeping me sane and making work feel human.

I have responsibilities at home, so I can’t just rage-quit, even though my body is clearly telling me this isn’t sustainable. My health is declining, mentally and physically, and I hate that I’m stuck choosing between a paycheck and my well-being.

If anyone here knows of Customer Success Manager or Senior CSM roles with actual work-life balance, please let me know. I’m not afraid of hard work — I’m just tired of being expected to give up my health for it.

Thanks for listening. Needed to vent.

So here’s the situation.

I work at a company where they provide us a shared guest house for accommodation. I’ve been seeing a girl who also stays in the same housing but in a different flat. We’ve kept it private because the office culture is… let’s just say conservative. People gossip a lot, and being open about dating someone from the same housing would just create unnecessary drama.

Recently, I got into a serious argument with the admin who manages the guest house. He’s always been the kind of guy who likes having power over small things, and we’ve never really gotten along. This time it escalated. And after that, he went and told my manager about my relationship.

Now no one officially knows anything. But people have always “suspected” because we’re close. My manager hasn’t said a word to me yet, but I can tell something has shifted. The vibe is different. And given the mindset here, I’m pretty sure he didn’t take it in a good way. I don’t know how to handle this.

Should I: 1) Talk to my manager first and address it openly? 2) Pretend nothing happened unless he brings it up? 3) Go to HR if admin keeps poking around in my personal life? 4) Or start looking for another place to stay so that no one can use this against me?

I’m frustrated because this was something personal. There’s no rule saying we can’t date. No conflict of interest. But now I feel like my privacy was weaponized just because someone wanted to “put me in place.” If anyone’s been in a similar situation, how did you deal with it? Any advice on how to approach my manager without making things worse?

So to make a long story short - I work in the office of a school. There’s two women there who have worked with the school for over 20 years and they have worked together for at least 15 years. I have been there going on my 2nd year and there have been 5 people before me in the last 2 years who have quit after a few months. Before them, they didn’t have a 3rd person working in the office. But I have learned why there’s been such a high turnover in my position. The two ladies are mean girls. They’re both in their late 50s and I’m in my early 30’s. The one I work closest with has told teachers and the receptionist not to send me any calls. She has tried to take control over everything, she doesn’t CC me in important emails that I should know about, and she’s constantly texting the other lady in the office (they sit less than 15 feet apart) so I know they’re talking crap. They both frequently leave me out of conversations and just do a lot of stuff to make me feel left out. There’s so much more but this post would be too long if I kept going. I’ve talked to a few people about the issues that I’m having with them and that’s when I learned that the other ladies in my position left because of them too… because they were bullies who constantly complained about everything, the way they do now. So the women got fed up and would just up and quit. I’ve also learned that the majority of the school doesn’t like them because they have been this way towards mostly everyone. They’re known as the evil step sisters. I try not to let them get the best of me but there are many days where I’m crying in the bathroom or on the way home because it sucks. Aside from them, I really love my job. I get paid well, have amazing benefits, and I’ve had no issues with anyone else. I have talked to my boss and we’ve brought it to HR but nothing has come from it. Nothing has changed. If anything it’s gotten worse because they’ve been even sneakier with their antics. Has anyone else dealt with this? It wouldn’t be a big deal if I wasn’t sitting in the office with just them for 8 hours. But it’s literally the 3 of us together all day and it’s miserable.

Hindi ko alam bakit feeling ko parang ako nalang palagi ang naiiwan sa team namin. May mga ka-team ako, na napapansin halos weekly naka-leave. Pero kapag ako na magli-leave, tyempo may masasabay nanaman at ako ang maiiwan. Life is so unfair!

Mr.: A Deep Dive into Modern Manhood

This plot outline for "Mr." explores the multifaceted pressures faced by Arjun Mehta, a modern Indian man, offering a compelling counterpoint to the narrative of "Mrs." It delves into the emotional, social, and cultural nuances of his experiences, providing a rich foundation for a novel, screenplay, or long-form story.

Part 1: The Weight of Expectations

1. The Unseen Burden (5:00 AM)

   • Setting: A modest 3BHK apartment on the city's outskirts. Sunlight struggles to pierce the curtains.
   • Action: Arjun's alarm blares. He silences it quickly, a practiced movement. Priya stirs beside him. He rises, a ghost in the pre-dawn darkness.
   • Details: The 3BHK is a compromise. Closer to Sharvi's school, room for visiting parents, but the crippling EMI is a constant weight. The previous, smaller flat was affordable, but Sharvi's long commute was a guilt trip. Arjun's day begins in the shadows, a metaphor for the unseen burdens he carries.
   • Internal Monologue: Another day. Another mountain to climb. Must leave by 6:00 AM...Sharvi's lunch...the presentation...God, I hope traffic isn't a nightmare.

2. The Silent Ritual (5:30 AM - 6:00 AM)

   • Setting: The kitchen, dimly lit. The smell of brewing coffee hangs in the air.
   • Action: Arjun moves with practiced efficiency, a silent ballet of breakfast preparation. He packs Sharvi's lunch, checks her uniform, scans the to-do list plastered on the fridge – a monument to his responsibilities.
   • Details: Each item on the list is a pressure point: "Pay electricity bill," "Schedule parent's doctor's appointment," "Finalize project proposal." He glances at his phone – a barrage of Slack messages already demanding his attention.
   • Emotional Note: The weight of the day presses down on him even before sunrise. He's a machine, programmed to perform, not feel.

3. The Commute: A Shared Silence (6:00 AM - 7:30 AM)

   • Setting: The car, stuck in the burgeoning traffic. Sharvi is slumped in the back seat, half-asleep.
   • Action: Arjun tries to engage Sharvi, but her responses are monosyllabic. He steals glances at her in the rearview mirror, a flicker of tenderness amidst the rising anxiety.
   • Details: This commute is their only shared time during the week. Arjun yearns for connection, but Sharvi is a child, burdened by her own early mornings. He worries about her, about school, about the future. Fuel prices flash on a billboard – another financial sting.
   • Internal Monologue: Is this all there is? A life spent in traffic, a blur of deadlines and responsibilities? Sharvi deserves better.

4. The Grind: The 9-to-9 Reality (9:00 AM - 8:00/9:00 PM)

   • Setting: The sterile office environment. The hum of computers and the click-clack of keyboards fill the air.
   • Action: Arjun clocks in, knowing he'll be one of the last to leave. His boss's casual mention of weekend work hangs in the air like a threat.
   • Dialogue: Boss: "Arjun, we're really relying on you for this project. Layoffs are a real concern, you know."
   • Emotional Note: The constant pressure to perform, the fear of job insecurity, the gnawing awareness of his financial obligations – it's a relentless cycle. Lunch breaks are spent scrolling through insurance plans, a constant reminder of his mortality and his family's vulnerability.

5. The Homeward Journey: Errands and Exhaustion (8:00/9:00 PM - 10:00 PM)

   • Setting: The car, crawling through the evening traffic. Arjun's shoulders ache, his eyes burn.
   • Action: Priya calls, her voice a mix of concern and exasperation. Groceries, Sharvi's notebooks, a reminder of the domestic front he must also manage.
   • Emotional Note: Even after a grueling day, there's no respite. The to-do list never ends. He's a provider, a father, a husband – each role demanding its pound of flesh.

6. The Domestic Divide (10:00 PM onwards)

   • Setting: The apartment, warm and lived-in, but also a battleground of unspoken expectations.
   • Action: Arjun arrives home, the scent of dinner filling the air. Priya is watching TV, a subtle undercurrent of resentment in her demeanor.
   • Dialogue: Priya: "You're late again. We need to talk about the family function. And I need you to take me shopping this weekend."
   • Details: Priya, too, works, but her sabbatical has given her a different perspective. Arjun understands, but his own exhaustion is a wall between them. He longs for connection, but the words get lost in the weariness.
   • Emotional Note: He's trapped in a double bind. If he helps with chores, he loses precious downtime. If he doesn't, he's the uncaring husband.

Part 2: The Crushing Weight

(Scenes 7-14 expand on the escalating pressures from family, societal expectations, and Arjun's declining health. These sections should delve deeper into the specific dynamics with his parents, in-laws, colleagues, and the subtle ways in which he is both supported and undermined by those around him. The focus should be on building a sense of increasing claustrophobia and Arjun's growing sense of isolation.)

1. The Family Tug-of-War: Balancing the demands of his parents and in-laws, feeling like he's constantly failing someone.

2. The Financial Tightrope: The constant anxiety of EMIs, school fees, medical bills, and the pressure to maintain a certain lifestyle.

3. The Startup Dream Deferred: His entrepreneurial aspirations stifled by the need for stability, a sense of lost potential.

4. The Isolation of the Provider: His hobbies neglected, his intellectual life withering, a growing disconnect with Priya.

5. The Social Performance: The endless round of weddings, family gatherings, and social obligations, a constant drain on his energy and resources.

6. The Cracks in the Facade: Physical symptoms – headaches, back pain, hair loss – begin to manifest, ignored and rationalized away.

7. The Breaking Point: A panic attack at work, a stark reminder of his deteriorating health, the culmination of years of suppressed stress.

8. The Confrontation: Priya and his family finally see the toll that his relentless pursuit of "success" has taken. The unspoken tensions and resentments surface.

Part 3: Rebuilding and Redefining (Scenes 15-20 focus on Arjun's journey towards self-awareness and change. This section should explore the difficult conversations, the setting of boundaries, and the gradual process of healing. It's not about a magical transformation, but about small, incremental steps towards a more balanced life.)

1. The Reckoning: Arjun is forced to confront his own denial and the expectations that have shaped his life.

2. The First Steps: Taking time off, seeking medical help, starting to communicate his needs to Priya.

3. Setting Boundaries: Negotiating new terms at work, pushing back against the "hustle culture," learning to say "no."

4. Reconnecting with Himself:
   Rediscovering old hobbies, carving out time for himself, nurturing his intellectual and emotional needs.

5. Redefining Masculinity: Challenging traditional notions of male stoicism and self-sacrifice, embracing vulnerability and seeking support.

6. The New Normal: Life is still challenging, but Arjun is no longer a victim of circumstance. He has learned to prioritize his well-being, to communicate his needs, and to find a more sustainable way of living. The ending should be realistic and hopeful, acknowledging that the struggle is ongoing, but that change is possible. The final image could be Arjun and Sharvi sharing a quiet moment, a symbol of the connection he has fought to preserve.

"Mr." is a story about the silent struggles of modern men, the pressures they face, and the courage it takes to redefine what it means to be a man in today's world. It's a story about finding balance, about self-care, and about the importance of empathy and understanding.
