Frustrated Bengaluru Redditor quits corporate; addresses burnout

New Delhi: A Redditor from Bengaluru took to the social forum to talk about her leaving the corporate world. The individual claimed that they worked with companies like Amazon, Meesho and Myntra, before calling it quits. They also stated that they hadn't finalised their first move. 

In the highly relatable post, the Redditor spoke of how the problems of the city impacted them. "…City's cooked with traffic, no proper infra, there's no way to save and invest thanks to inflation and taxes….Daily commute to office feels like a test on patience, the sheer amount of exhaust gases I let in is enough to damage me even though I don't smoke or drink,” said the Redditor. 

Despite detailing the negatives of Bengaluru's corporate life, the Redditor added that she likes the city, especially the weather.

"Bengaluru as a city is my favourite, the weather here, I learnt Kannada, well I understand 85% and talk 65%, this took me 1.6 years to achieve, I like Donne biriyani more than Hyderabadi which was my all time favourite. But the city is choking, this city has the best metro connection, but unfinished, not sure it'll be in coming 40 years with this rate of construction speed," said one. 

Netizens were quick to comment on the post. Many resonated with the user and shared their experiences. One wrote, "The key thing here is if OP has to work hard, it might as well be for himself. The corporate career is hardwork and no long term benefits. The days of free lunches are over." Another individual commented, "I was fed up with corporate job within 2 years as well but still ended up working for 16 yrs across 2 countries. Few people get the circus the moment they step foot in a culture. I finally quit corporate life after 18 yrs and always regret that I should have done much sooner."
