Young professionals in India are voicing their concerns about toxic work culture following the tragic death of EY employee Anna Sebastian Perayil, allegedly due to overwhelming work pressure.
Many, like 25-year-old Maria, report grueling 10-hour workdays, late-night meetings, and minimal work-life balance, often feeling treated as mere "resources."
A recent ILO report highlights that Indian employees are among the most overworked globally, averaging 46.7 hours per week. Employees call for a shift in culture, emphasizing the need for empathy and prioritizing well-being in the workplace to prevent further tragedies.
