Time and again, employees in different offices have spoken about the toxic work culture they witness that leads some to even quit their jobs to safeguard their mental peace.
Moreover, the fact that losing work-life balance and overworking is romanticized by bosses, makes things even worse.
However, there are some companies and bosses who have been thinking about the sanity and welfare of their employees. Earlier, a company started putting out reminders on the computers of their employees who work beyond their set work hours.
Now, a woman named Stuti shared how her boss helped her when she was frustrated.
Taking to Twitter, she wrote that after the calls to her went unanswered, her boss texted her to call her back. When she responded to her boss saying that she was frustrated and didn’t want to talk at that moment, her boss told her to hand over her work to her and take 3-4 days to refresh and come back in a good mood, thereby promoting a healthy work culture.
after two unanswered calls, my boss messaged me, "please call back." i messaged her back, saying im frustrated and don’t wanna talk, to which she replied, hand over your work to me and take 3-4 days off but don't be in a bad mood.
this is what i call a healthy work culture !— Stuti (@stutiraii) March 27, 2023
Her tweet went viral online with people wanting to know if such a workplace and boss even existed.
Kaun hain yeh log? Kahan se aate hain? …

@stutiraii My boss would ask me to hand over the work to a team member and would themselves take 3-4 days off, leaving me wondering what am I doing at this organization.

However, there were also others who shared their stories of the times when their bosses thought of their mental health and created a healthy workspace for their employees.
once I took my intern out for coffee, I sense that something is bothering her. We spoke for good 45-50 mins and got her point. Eventually, she is now a junior DS and is happy with all of us. Treating a human as a human is necessary.

Once a team member came office crying – some personal issue.. I told her to stop working, asked her if she has some place to refresh – she wanted to visit nearest place, sent her there during office hours, she came back relatively happier and worked for rest of the day.

This, coming at a time when companies are pestering employees to work beyond their human capacity, is so refreshing and satisfying.
