In a bold move, Pune-based Infosys employee Bhupendra Vishwakarma resigned without securing another job, exposing systemic issues within the company. His viral LinkedIn post resonated across the IT sector.
Reasons Behind the Exit
Bhupendra cited several reasons for his decision:
- Unequal Work Distribution: Limited team size increased work pressure without recognition.
- Stalled Career Growth: Assignment to a loss-making account halted salary hikes and progress.
- Hostile Work Environment: Unrealistic client demands and escalations created a toxic workplace.
- Lack of Recognition: Hard work went unrewarded with no promotions or salary hikes.
- Bias in Onsite Opportunities: Alleged regional biases disadvantaged Hindi-speaking employees.
Online Reactions
Bhupendra’s story sparked debate. Many sympathized, sharing similar struggles with recognition and career stagnation. Others suggested management improvements could have addressed the concerns. Infosys has yet to respond.
This case underscores the importance of employee welfare, fair recognition, and career growth in tech companies.
