Hello Everyone,
I am a fresher with over 9+ months of experience as a Data Engineer at Tata Consultancy .
I just needed some suggestions from you experienced folks.🙏
In my current project my colleagues have over 6+ years of experience and are not very supportive and scold me for unnecessary reasons, which is effecting my mental health.😔
Also I am not getting to learn anything.

As a manager, I do not expect anyone to attend a meeting while on PTO. I respect my team's time off. If something is so important that everyone needs to attend, I'll record the meeting and have it available for anyone who missed it. That manager needs to take a step back and really think about what they have done and why they have such an expectation to begin with. I would report this to HR since the time off was probably on the calendar for quite some time so it was not a surprise to them.
Don’t go to HR they are not your friend.
If you go to HR the first person HR person will call is your boss to put a plan in place to keep from being sued and getting rid of you.
As a manager I expect meetings to be covered while someone is out, which requires the employee on PTO to coordinate ahead of time. Often that means I attend the meeting on their behalf, which is fine if I know ahead of time. I just don’t want to be surprised/hear about it last minute. My manager expects the same from me. If I send a delegate that person should be prepared to handle basic questions that would’ve been asked of me at the meeting.
Exactly - meetings need to be covered, everyone on the team is responsible for making sure there is coverage or delegate or the meeting is moved . This sounds like a junior person taking no responsibility and just going on vacation and then the team was left to figure it out?
I don’t believe that someone gave their team a heads up, planned to be away, helped make sure there was coverage, reminded the team before vacation they were going to be out and then got in “trouble” for not being on the call.
if you’re off, you’re off. this is bizarre behavior on the managers part.
Definitely unusual. As someone else said though, be proactive and remind people of your PTO (I ask my team to put their PTO on my calendar) and set the expectation that you will not be attending. I would take your “write up” to the next level.
Similar to what RSM2 wrote above, I have seen people over the last few years do the following: for the 2 months leading up to any out of office dates, they actually put "Upcoming Out of Office: Sept 5-10, Oct 12-18" (etc.) in bold red font in their email signatures. So anyone who they deal with on a regular basis is getting multiple reminders every time the person sends an email. Cool thing that I started seeinf a couple of years ago.
When i was at EY, I planned PTO then my manager found out and planned PTO the same week as me because she didnt want to deal with the offshore team meetings.
I think said manager has been fired.
P=personal. I don't think I believe this comment 100%. Everyone has time off. Everyone will miss meetings due to that fact. I would have words with that manager, for sure.
Agree - there’s more to the story and terrible communication going on with this team.
Yep. It’s crazy
Contact HR. That’s not appropriate.
Stay heads down while you get out of the place as soon as possible.
I spent 24 years in IBM Tech Sales a 24/7 an hour job. I let a new Manager talk me out of a vacation.
I don’t remember anything about my prior jobs.
I remember every trip I took with my family like it was yesterday.
I'm interested
We never expect anyone on PTO to be on meeting calls UNLESS we have something urgent and we’ve discussed it with them beforehand to make sure it works for them.
