I absolutely despise how Indian companies and founders, with no concept of life-work balance, shame employees for taking leaves and having a life outside work.
Calls on weekends, guilting a person during and post leave, infinite power games. Shameful.

Someone I know in Bangalore took a couple of days leave for a friend’s wedding two months in advance. There was an important high-level meeting when he was away. The founder actually asked him - Was it your wedding? Why could you not take the call and put it on mute?
Unreal.
Unreal.
And of course, there are jerks who proudly claim that when they got married, they were at work THE VERY NEXT DAY. The day we stop having founders and bosses like this, we can perhaps *start* to talk about mental health at workplaces.
