The manager also monitors what the team wears and does not allow them to leave the office before 7 pm, according to the employee. An Indian employee has taken to Reddit to question a manager’s strict office rules, including asking employees to announce when they reach work.
The employee also claimed that the team cannot leave before 7 pm, while the manager keeps a close watch on their dress code. “Since it was my first job, I didn’t know how toxic it was.
The employee posted about the situation on Reddit, saying the manager had joined the team a few months ago and was “super micromanaging”. Employees are expected to send a message saying “Reached” in their Microsoft Teams group as soon as they arrive at the office, according to the post. One Reddit user said employees need to collectively speak up instead of relying only on online discussions to solve such problems. Another Reddit user said similar monitoring was part of their previous job, where employees had to record their shift start and end times, lunch breaks and periods when they were away from their desks. I was told this was the norm in all companies. I thank my stars every day that I resigned,” the user said.
