It's simple supply and demand. Companies don't care about your health and well being, they are only concerned about profit.

During covid, due to the push for digital, demand was more, so companies had to give more money to us and also keep us happy (WFH). Now, due to recession fears, demand has reduced hence companies will show their true colors.

Don't get me wrong but, India on the whole are just like a glorified factory.
Companies are now arguing you will be more productive coming to the office , spending 1-2 hrs in traffic , rather than working from home.

It's about controlling your life and time. I have known so many people who have worked on their hobbies and side business at home as they saved time going to the office. They are still delivering at work.

One small advice to all who have switched recently -
Don't fall for lifestyle inflation. With a salary increase, don't spend more but invest more( on your skills, and on Assets).

And push for permanent wfh, even if your employer is calling you to office , show you are not happy. Raise your voice. If we all do so, hopefully something might happen.
Eg. Infy has faced a lot of resistance for wfa and hence planning to make hybrid work independent of dc location i.e. if your base location was Bangalore and you were from north, you can goto Chandigarh and work from there. Don't know if it will be implemented.

In TCS, you will find barely anyone to resist the WFO model, specifically the mid management and above are following rules like puppets, and hence not leaving any choice for Junior grades like us. 😕

Traveled for the first time this week since COVID and got the dreaded “do you have kids?” question at team dinner. Him-“do you have kids?” Me- “No, I don’t.” Him-“Oh good! That’s the right choice!!” Me (awkwardly)- “I still have time… I’m not even 30 yet!” (Team member who knows about our 3 month and 6 month miscarriages looking on with THE saddest face) Ughhhh. He had absolutely no idea and meant well since everyone was talking about their kids but gosh…I wish this didn’t have to be a thing😩

Seeing lots of recession talk in the main bowl. If a recession hit, would the healthcare industry be less impacted?

Covid was sort of a mini-recession for healthcare, particularly providers. Projects were canceled all at once, while clients focused on putting out fires. It feels like they all came roaring back, and now they are making up the work they put on hold for 1-2 years.

Is the healthcare pipeline stronger, because they’re still catching up?
