🔥 The two extremes of the IT industry On one side, we hear reports from companies like EY and Bajaj Allianz, where employees are facing immense pressure. On the other hand, managers from companies like Flipkart are sharing stories about their teams working long hours, with employees having lunch at 5 p.m. after being on calls for nine hours straight. Similarly, last year, on the night of December 31st, I noticed posts from employees at companies like Swiggy, praising their teams for working 24/7 to keep the website running. It raises the question: if there are ongoing development, infrastructure, or system issues, shouldn’t we address them proactively now instead of waiting for peak traffic? If companies are aware of recurring issues, such as development or infrastructure challenges, the time to address them is now. By taking proactive steps early, these problems can be resolved well before peak periods like the end of the year or major festivals. This way, engineers won’t be forced to work late into the night or sacrifice their personal time during holidays. #WorkLifeBalance #WorkCulture #SoftwareDevelopment #Technology #UserExperience #ig

Being on call doesn't mean you're working 24/7. It's impossible to predict peak traffic perfectly, and even auto-scaling can take some time to adjust. Proactive measures can certainly ease the process and help manage peak times smoothly. This is where availablity, resilliency and reliability initiatives help out in outage situations. I believe the concept of work-life balance is often overstated—we should focus more on achieving work-life harmony. (Both are stress free)

Sadly, most of the seniors/leaders/managers are bullshit and technically challenged person! They believe in hard work rather than intelligent work. They do not trust someone who will suggest a better standard approach just because he is the boss! So "Just shut up and do what is told."
