Techie Highlights 'Designationism' in Corporate India Parking Policies
Imagine a company where only managers can park in the good spots, even if others have a long commute or health issues.
This techie is saying that some companies in India have unfair rules based on job title, like not letting regular employees use the parking.
They think this is a bad policy, especially when compared to companies in other countries.
Also, if you book a cab and then can't use it due to unforeseen circumstances, it could cause trouble.
People online are calling these rules examples of corporate discrimination and saying they've seen similar things happen at other companies.
A tech worker shared a negative experience about parking restrictions in their company.
The company's parking is exclusively for managers and above, regardless of employee needs.
The techie felt that the company lacked empathy.
The techie noted that this policy is unique to India.
Employees find these policies to be discriminatory.
