Friends,

Is it possible to take sabbatical leave in PwC AC Bangalore? I had joined 7 months back.

I'm going through mentally tough phase. I'm not enjoying my work and either want to resign while I don't have any offer or go for sabbatical. I'm just feeling depressed and hopeless, I am not enjoying anything and Job is going on 24*7 in my head. Sometimes I think I'm not capable of doing corporate job or not able to maintain a balance with it.

I need a break from my corporate job for sometime.

I can feel you bro/sis. ☹️

Talk to your lead/manager and tell them that your mental health is getting hampered and you need break.

LOP is the option. Talk to your Manager

So bro/sis, is it the work pressure there or something that's happening in your personal life that's not allowing you to focus on your work?

This is very personal issue. I'm not enjoying my work due to many things going on in my life. As work is something which I can't ignore because I'm getting paid for it, adds up more pressure because of its a responsibility.

Due to myself not in a good mental state, I am not putting efforts, not willing to do it .
The work load will be everywhere but my mental health is deteriorating in this corporate environment. I feel I'm not made for this job. I actually don't like the work that I do. It's very toxic and not my interest.

However jobs are same everywhere, in terms of working hours I don't see any difference in my previous organisation and PwC. They want their work, they have deadlines, you have tasks assigned be it easy or difficult and anyhow you have to do it if they are paying you.

I think you should talk to your manager regarding your mental health. A good manager must understand and allow for LOP. Your manager/ HR should be able to confirm whether you are eligible for sabbatical or not.

I'm currently working in one of big 4, I too have same feeling and thoughts ever since I joined here. It seems like all big 4 sucks when it comes to WLB.

Totally understand you author. I was going through a very tough phase myself and was somehow able to overcome it. I took a break from work although for one month only butt it really helped a lot. I suggest be open about these things and talk you your coach and RL. I am sure they will understand and you can surely take a break. On a personal note, please don’t keep things within you, try to find a person/s to whom you can share your personal problems and talk it out. Spend some time with family and friends and if possible go on some vacation to a place which you like. All these guys hinge really helped me to recover and be my normal self again. I am sure you will get over it and get excel and be happy in life.

Hi All an off-topic query.

I recently moved to JioFiber and took postpaid plan and paid for 3 months advance.

Now I saw the bill was generated after 2 months of usage. When enquired the customer care said since it's a postpaid plan and company keeps 1 month as security so you have to pay from 3rd month?

Is it right? Since there is no mention of that?

Anyone please advice. Customer care and Twitter not very helpful.
