Working for private companies in India is a nightmare. I have worked for a multinational, lala company and an Indian multinational. The Management of Indian companies think they own their employees, once they pay them a salary. Bosses have no hesitation in ringing you up at midnight to ask some trivial question, to summon you to office on holidays, and shout at you as and when they please!! HR guys are the biggest deceivers of all. When an employee is contracted to do a certain number of hours of work, the management should have no right in forcing him/her to do more. Can the CEO's of some of India's biggest/ best-run companies really say 'honest-to-god, I do not slave drive my employees. I am a fair employer.' ? Can any Lala say that? One has to only visit some of these lala companies. There is the stench of suffering in their posh recepton areas!! Some Lalas start foundations and charities to boost their image.Charity should begin at home, gentlemen!! Do business honestly, treat your employees well!! Come abroad, and see how the law ensures that employees are treated well. In the western world, some of our biggest corporate leaders ,and many small ones too, would have been in jail.
