Everyone is talking about L&T chairman's comment about working 90 hours a week, working on Sundays etc. I am an IT professional working in product development. I work for a leading firm (I don't wish to name) in Pune that has been exploiting employees in the name of internal trainings and internships. Our manager expects us to clock in more than 12 hours at work, and we recently discovered that we are working extra hours to fulfill the manager's KRA and save her job. At least 8 people in my team of 10-12 which also includes 4 interns have been working more than 12 hours every day without a break. We are denied holidays for family events and emergencies while we continue to work during weekends. Despite meeting our deadlines ahead of time, we are constantly told that our work is not satisfactory and we need to outdo ourselves. All this, while the manager who hardly comes to work continues to be showered with incentives and international travel at the company's cost. The exploitation is purely unjust. I want to quit the company but I am told that my work is not good enough so I won't get a relieving letter. If I complain, I will be handed a termination letter. How do I address this situation with HR?

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Kindly write a formal letter to the HR with the number of hours clocked by you, your team and the interns. Keep a record of this as an evidence if there is a need for it. Also state the issues this is causing on the health front as well. The letter must detail only what is happening to you and your team. Kindly do not bring in your manager as that is the job of the HR to figure out which will eventually happen. Only state the exploitation that you and your team are facing. Along with this, do share the team's achievements so far so that the HR is aware that your compliant is genuine and your team is worthy as well. You do not want the HR to spin it off saying that because the team is not up to the mark, that's the reason they are working late hours. Correct and genuine information and a very assertive polite way of sharing your grievance should work.

All the best!

Career

Dear Sir, I am presently working as an HR executive in a waste management company since the last 2.5 years. It is a plastics recycling business of two plants located in Hyderabad and Vizag. I joined as fresher. I have seen that the value for HR is very less among my colleagues and plant head. Workers are being asked to work continuously without off 16 hours a day, for 10 days or more. As our company is an MNC, we do have policies for work hours where policy states no overtime or comp off is allowed for company employees. When I try to tell the HOD this, he is not taking it seriously and shouting that he too knows policies and all. Another concern is that, due to this type of pressure and no value for HR, I have decided to move on to another job with a 40 per cent hike. When I gave my resignation, my HRBP has taken it to CHRO level and made promises to improve the situation. As I am a B Tech and MBA graduate, I have got a better offer even though it is a contract role. I would like to join that job (Tata Boeing Aerospace). Due to staying back at present, I am feeling very low. My confidence is low as value given is very less. Do suggest whether I should stay back and trust the word given by my HRBP or to move to another job. In this recycling business, I am the only one HR executive working. Please do keep my identity private.

I think since you have got a job in a Tata company, you must grab it with both hands.

The nature of contractual employment in today's world has limited impact.

Do check the process of extending the contract and regularising the employment.

The current job does not seem to be with an employer with whom you should continue.

Dear Mayank Sir, I’ve noticed in my present company and where I worked last job too, the HR seems to see only the bigg bosses side of things. They don’t support the small staff against the big guys. Now, when anyone has a problem, they don’t go to HR because they feel life will become even worse. So how does the small guys problems, like work overload and working on holidays without compensation or comp off, be solved. K

I m working in Aditya health insurance I have joined in September 2024 n had done appreciable business n recruitment but due to new manager joining on December he is pressuring so much no work time no call time whatsapp call video call so I resigned on February 28 I m in notice period still he n ach humiliating so much n insulting but HR is not taking any action I m from Orissa angul branch what to do in this situation please guide I m totally disturbed

Ans: Hello
Sorry to hear that. It is indeed unfortunate!
Since you have already resigned, which at times is advisable rather than continuing in a toxic work environment, it must be a matter of few days before you are out. Hence best way to deal with this is to simply complete your handing over/exit formalities smoothly without giving much heed to other negative things happening around you. In case it is getting real difficult you may discreetly escalate the matter to head of department/business etc. & am sure things will be looked into.
You should now actually put your complete focus on your new job search/career way forward.
All the Best !!

My wisdom tooth is biting into my cheek. I am 41 but the tooth is still growing. It is causing a lot of discomfort. At what age does wisdom teeth stop growing? Should I fix it or get it removed? Pls suggest. I have already spent a lot of money trying to fix it every few years.

Ans: Hello

Wisdom teeth usually "stop growing" by the age of 25, provided they are properly aligned and there's sufficient space for them to erupt. But, more often than not, they are not properly aligned or there may not be enough space for them.
Curiously, teeth never actually stop growing unless there's something blocking their growth. Like an opposing tooth, for instance. If an upper tooth is extracted and not replaced with an artificial tooth, the opposing lower tooth can theoretically keep growing into the empty space above.
Your wisdom tooth is improperly aligned and hence will continue to grow indefinitely.
Since you mentioned that it's been troubling you for several years, my advice would be to get it extracted

Hi Sir, I am 46 years old with a Wife and a daughter (12 years old). Planning to retire by age of 50. Current net worth includes - Stock Market portfolio (including Stocks, MFs, PMS) - INR 3 CR, 2 Flats worth INR 4.5 CR without any home loans. Long Term investments like NPS, Sukanya Samruddhi, LIC, EPF/PPF etc - 1 CR, FDs- 20L, Gold (Physical +ETF) - 70L. Current Monthly expenses - 60-70K per month. Now, I understand that my daughter's Graduation and PG education expenses may cost anywhere around 1CR (inflation included). Also the medical/health expenses will be required too. Considering all of the above, how do you recommend I can plan for retiring at 50? I do plan to stay invested in equities for long term even after retirement. Thanks for your advice.

Ans: Thank you for the query. Congratulations. You seems to have already planned well for post retirement period. However, You have not shared your current income details at present, Passive income after proposed retirement age and whether any of your house property has been rented out. Also not given monthly investments etc. Hence unable to offer my comments on overall financial position. It is suggested to connect with a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) and share your full details and discuss your life goals etc. CFP and you both can sit together and arrive at a proper retirement planning. All the best.

My wisdom tooth isn't hurting, but food keeps getting stuck and the area smells bad. Google scared me with infection stories, while some people say don’t remove it unless there’s pain. I’m genuinely confused. Should wisdom teeth be removed proactively or only when they cause problems?

Ans: Hello

I understand why you’re worried - food getting trapped and a foul smell can be very unsettling, but no pain doesn’t automatically mean you can avoid a dentist's visit. If the tooth is partially erupted or impacted, it creates a pocket where bacteria thrive, which explains the odor and can lead to gum inflammation or a low?grade infection. Many dentists recommend _proactive_ removal when they see a high risk of future issues (crowding, decay, cysts) even without pain. On the flip side, if it’s fully erupted, easy to clean, and not messing with your bite, your dentist might just monitor it and suggest a good hygiene regimen (floss, mouthwash, water?flosser).

My advice is to get an X?ray and a dentist’s opinion. If they spot infection signs, cysts, or trouble cleaning, they’ll likely suggest extraction. If it’s clean and you can keep it infection?free, you can wait and watch.

I brush twice a day and floss most nights, but I still keep getting cavities. My dentist says it could be my enamel or saliva, which honestly confused me. I also drink lemon water every morning thinking it’s healthy.

Ans: Hello

You're one of very few people I know who brush and floss their teeth regularly. Keep it up!
It's important to note, however, that your brushing technique is also very important. Not just how frequently you brush.
It's possible your enamel is weak or poorly calcified which could be the reason why you keep getting cavities. If you had a calcium deficiency during childhood - when your teeth were developing - it's likely that your tooth enamel is hypocalcified and hence more prone to decay.
Saliva, like your dentist suggested, can also play a role. Acidic saliva can erode and weaken tooth enamel.
Fresh lime has a similar harmful effect on your teeth. You should at least rinse your mouth thoroughly after drinking lime water so that traces of it don't remain.
