Has anyone received an offer letter from EXL (Inductis India Pvt Ltd) that was extremely restrictive and reading which felt like one is signing up for going to prison rather than get employment? No leave policy mentioned, hundreds of paragraphs of worst case scenarios, pathetic salary breakup, etc. ?
About to ask for a raise on Friday for the first time in my life! 28 yrs old and worked in the industry for 4 yrs before joining advisory in Jan. Also have an MBA. I'm in the field of operation/supply chain. Already did my research and have a number in mind. Interested in getting your thoughts on this. What do you think it's a reasonable number to pay someone with my background?

Happy New Year, y’all TO fishies.
I’d still want to WFH. I realize I’m saying this from a place of enormous privilege but I don’t need that extra 30k to enjoy my life more - I need the extra hours in my week, the extra sleep, the extra time with my family, the extra sweatpants.
I spent 45 minutes commuting to work each way. So 90mins a day, 5 days a week, 49 weeks a year accounting for PTO and holidays. Dividing 367.5 hrs a year by 30k I’d be making about $80 an hour for my commute. Maybe if I needed the money more I’d go for it but I’m so much happier WFH and I think I have far better work life balance. Not worth it.
I am generally in the same boat, but fuck anything that gives leverage to employers
Hard agree with SSD1. This industry is fucking maddening. They laid half of us off. Overworked and burned out those of us they kept. We somehow manage to prove we can do it all from home. And now they’re pulling this?!
I’m not saying I agree with fully remote but this feels very punish-y for the people who do.
I’ll just say - we FINALLY have a little bit of power on what happens with our work lives - I’m praying we all somehow come together and force leadership to make the decisions that work best for US and NOT wallstreet.
Lol who am I kidding this is America - see ya at the water cooler
At my current place in life, that trade off isn’t worth $30k. There have been plenty of years earlier in my career that money would have made a MAJOR difference in my quality of life and it would’ve been a no brainer. But the extra time with family has a lot of value to me now. I realize it is an immense privilege to make this choice.
Raise.
The diversity of opinions/choices expressed here is fascinating and points to how employers, when offering “flexibility” might even see benefits by offering such choices. Senior folks (according to titles I see here) where they value the time more are staying home (and maybe not super happy about not getting the raise but would prob be happy if the company tossed them $300/month for internet and supplies) and perhaps more junior people who value the office Time and money would love being at a place where they got paid more to be in the office. Who knows. Lots of experiments like this are going to take place over the next year.
All companies should be offering their employees a hybrid - WFH with WFO as needed for team building and important meetings, then they wouldnt need to bribe people with more money!
I would work from home. More work life balance is priceless.
My time is worth more than money.
