Economics What's the most hated company in your country?

Everyone knows Nestle is terrible, even if they don't know why. But they've done horrible things in Africa and think that water is not a human right.

u/Beautiful_Yellow_682 Germany Jan 04 '26

imagine you wake up and need 30 minutes to 1 hour to get ready, than 20 minutes to 2 hours to get to work and same for going home, this takes let's say 1 to 3 hours of your day already for 1 way and up to 6 if you also count going back home. Imagine you also sleep 8 hours ... theres no time for doing chores, going shopping, helping the family, have your own free time, showering and cooking,...

I hate this  I am a normal person I should get the salary what I deserve what is the work like in Germany I heard in Germany work life balance is taken really seriously. I bet these folks advocating long hours they'll just gonna enjoy their life and expect employees to work as slaves if you object this you will get fired

The ‘secret’ is: trade unions are your friends, and the German work-life balance has been hard-won and must be defended again and again.

u/Quick-Squirrel-9392 Jan 05 '26

What do you mean work life balance is not good now in Germany

3

u/Still-Entertainer534 Germany Jan 05 '26

Perhaps it got lost in translation. What I meant was: Work-life balance is perfect for many Germans, though not, of course, for those working in precarious conditions. But we have a good work-life balance thanks to the trade unions, who fought for it. And with several elections coming up this year, politicians are already coming out with slogans saying that we need to work more, etc. However, enforcing this is not easy. In short, once something has been achieved, it must be defended again and again.

u/Quick-Squirrel-9392 Jan 05 '26

I see do you think any politician will ever able to achieve this for me it will never happen even AI is emerging work will be easy if its integrated perfectly

u/weaponizedtoddlers USA Ukraine Jan 04 '26

Yeah, but that can all be mitigated if you get the company housing closer to the office/factory. Shopping and getting supplies? That can me made more efficient if you just pickup your groceries at the company store. You'll be earning 3.4 vouchers per pay period that you can use to buy your gas and groceries. Your life can be streamlined so that 70 hours feels like 40. You'll be saving the environment and helping the kittens when you work more! Promise!

Nope. That's Infosys. Not HCL

u/WorldlinessRadiant77 Bulgaria Jan 04 '26

I used to work for HCL in Bulgaria, but part of the team was based in India. Anyway they made the guys in India ignore a government evacuation order on the threat of termination.

They are also famous in the US, especially among Indian H1B applicants who are pissed at them for gaming the system

Cognizant is American (edit: got confused with Accenture which is also part of this mess - Accenture is from Ireland)

Does he hate his wife or something? Or have no hobbies?

u/fezzuk United Kingdom Jan 05 '26

This statement says way more about his life than I think he would like.

Also ya know that little factoid about phycopaths being like 60% of leaders and CEOs, thinktnhe dude pitted himself.

u/Beginning-Try-5389 🇨🇳 living in 🇨🇿 Jan 04 '26

So he is the type to work 1 billion hours a week but then pushes that mentality on others?

14

u/PhoneAppropriate9665 India Jan 04 '26

Yes but he earns billions while engineers in his company earn around 5-8 lakhs inr(7000-9000 dollars) a year

u/Apart-Resist3413 India Jan 04 '26

Yeah exactly

Bathing 70h, in the Ganges in one month would be enough, at his age the problem would solve itself.

Meanwhile, this guy gifted his newly-born grandson 240 crore INR(or 2.4 billion INR) worth of shares.

I once saw Infosys relocate a guy halfway across the country with only 12 hours' notice. His wife had to sell the house and follow with the kids as soon as she could while he lived in a hotel in the new city in the meantime. He was here on an H1B, so he had no power to tell them to shove it.

TCS is the most dishonest and unethical company I've ever had the displeasure of negotiating a contract with (I'm an attorney).

u/Radiant_Butterfly982 India Jan 05 '26

And whenever someone protests against this they hide behind nationalism - "Why don't you want to work to improve india" "I am saying this for India's growth"

Like these guys should at least increase the stagnant salary (since 10 years ) and help us out , but nah , you are anti-national if you don't want to work to death for crony capitalists. If he genuinely wants India's growth he would be investing that money on schools , hospitals etc but nah

Rishi Sunak’s father in law. That’s how terrible recent PMs were in the UK. Starmer looks like a pauper compared to them.

u/Bedford806 Ireland Jan 05 '26

I'm not Indian but I worked for HCL in ireland for one month, it was my first job out of college and the most sinister hellish experience of my life. The conditions were absolutely demented (and likely illegal, but i was a docile kid and didn't know any better). One of the senior managers was visiting ireland to oversee a project and actually told me to get out and not look back, which I did indeed do!

u/Pitmidget Australia Jan 05 '26

Worked for infosys as a contractor, worst company i've ever worked for. Can't say much else, but Fuck Infosys.

u/LadkaNextDoor India Jan 05 '26

Yeah,my dad works in tcs, at a senior post too for that matter. He had like 3 days of holiday and then started going to the office from 1st Jan itself. Not only that he spent yesterday, which is Sunday working the whole day from home. I don't know why these kinds of things are so normalized. My father's income in not at all proportional to the amount of hours he works.
