I'm working in Tata Consultancy for last 9months. I got allocated to Deployment team in Kolkata. I'm a quick learner and it was my mistake to learn everything so quickly. I've been forced to work for 12hrs at least regularly. Also, I've been providing night support daily for production (yes!! Production is happening daily) but I'm not getting any overtime pay. My manager is not responding to my mails regarding my dues. What shall I do?? Will HR help me? I'm demotivated and I want to resign. 😞

I don’t want to be a manager anymore.

I’m sure there are several factors that would depend on, like company size. I’m on a team of 2 and it’s a great WLB
Chief
Team of 3 - same.
I’m sole in house counsel at my company and have incredible WLB
My team has 5 - GC, senior counsel, me, and 2 paras/assistants. WLB is solid for everyone but the GC - weekend work is self-inflected, occasional late-ish, but not crazy late nights (7 is my latest and based on the shared drive, latest for the rest of the team and usually last emails are sent around 6). We’ve been able to triage work over vacations without too much difficulty. Mainly the other counsel and I cover for each other, with the GC pitching in on things over my level or that I don’t have time for.

Your company may just have to hire outside counsel to cover when in-house isn’t around. But it may not be necessary because vacations are 2 weeks max. There are very few matters that need immediate attention. If they do, there is always outside counsel.
