Overview
- Vijay Chandola published an Instagram video on Monday listing three behaviours he called toxic: glorifying burnout, publicly humiliating staff, and calling employees during leave or emergencies.
- The clip’s caption argued these practices are signs of poor workplace culture rather than high performance and urged people to expect better treatment.
- Users responded with concrete anecdotes, including managers blocking exits until targets were met and workers saying they were fired after resisting public shaming.
- Major outlets reported the online reaction but noted the examples come from user‑generated comments and have not been independently verified by reporters.
- The episode highlights how power imbalances and fear of career harm often keep employees from naming such reasons when they leave and could prompt more public discussion about workplace policies and mental‑health protections.
