Сотрудница поколения Z уволилась после восьми месяцев работы из-за игнорирования её потребностей и культуры переработок

Gen Z employee resigns after 8 months Delhi-based entrepreneur Kanika Jain took to social media to share the story of a Gen Z woman who recently resigned from her job. According to Jain, the employee had joined the organisation eight months earlier. She was described as sharp and hardworking and had never missed a deadline. Her manager, however, believed she was happy with her role and had no idea that she was becoming increasingly frustrated. During her exit interview, the employee explained that she was not unhappy with the work. Instead, she was unhappy with the way she was being treated while doing it. She had kept notes of workplace problems When her manager asked her to explain what had gone wrong, the employee reportedly had specific examples. Among them was a meeting that continued 40 minutes beyond working hours. She also pointed out that her salary had once been delayed by six days without any communication from the company. Another issue involved a leave request that remained pending for three weeks. According to the story shared by Jain, the request was approved only on the day the employee resigned. For the employee, these incidents were not isolated inconveniences. They contributed to a larger feeling that her time and needs were not being taken seriously. ‘I never said I was okay’ The manager reportedly responded by saying that such situations happened to him too. He described it as part of the company’s hustle culture and said the team assumed she was fine because she had never openly objected. Her response captured the heart of the problem. She said she had never said she was okay, but had simply stopped saying she was not. The exchange highlights an important workplace issue: silence does not necessarily mean satisfaction. An employee who continues meeting deadlines and completing tasks may still be unhappy with the environment around them. She had a 35% higher offer The employee already had another job offer when she resigned. The new opportunity came with a 35% higher salary, but according to Jain's account, money was not the main reason she decided to leave. The new workplace also offered several changes in her everyday working life. These included a five-day workweek, managers who ended meetings on time, salary credited on the first day of the month and employee-focused leave policies.
