Indian Woman Breaks Down After Being Denied WFH Request On Diwali: "Crying, Sobbing, Angry"
A woman working for an American multinational company recently took to Reddit to express her frustration after being denied time off on Diwali. In her post titled "Just angry-sobbed in a meeting", the woman highlighted how unfair workplace expectations can put employees, especially Indians, at a disadvantage in global firms. The woman shared that she works in a hybrid role at an American MNC, where she is expected to work from the office for a certain number of days, and can work from home the rest of the time. She said that she recently broke down into angry tears during a meeting with her manager after being told she was expected to work from the office during Diwali. "I understand at the end of the day we're just cheap labour for them, but god forbid, I believe we'd have some policies that treat us like humans," the original poster (OP) wrote. In her post, she shared that she had planned to work remotely from her hometown during Diwali but was denied the time off because her manager wanted someone to be physically present in the office. Just angry-sobbed in a meeting. by u/curiousnerd06 in IndianWorkplace The woman highlighted how American and European colleagues can take long vacations during spring break, Thanksgiving or Christmas, but Indians, on the other hand, are expected to work during their festivals. "We're all working Diwali week except 1-2 people will be off on different days so there's some support each day. Understandable. I was expecting to fly home and work from my hometown that week. Until I was told I can't go because someone needs to be in office," she wrote. "Believe me, we're still working on a week we deserve to be off. But now they want us in office. We've saved leaves and WFHs all year for this," the woman continued. She said that she got into a tearful argument with her senior manager when she was told to work from the office during Diwali, which falls on October 20 this year. "I had a crying, sobbing, angry argument with my senior manager and asserted I HAD TO GO HOME. It's the ONE time I get to," she wrote. Eventually, the woman shared that a colleague from her hometown decided to cancel their travel plans to cover office presence, which allowed her to go home. "So technically this wasn't resolved, someone just sacrificed," she pointed out. "Your company truly never cared, never will. Always knew this, but some days are truly frustrating," the woman concluded. The post sparked a wave of reactions, with many social media users sharing similar experiences. "It is not you, it is your managers. I am an Indian working in Germany. Our project has a small team in Pune, and the managers always keep proudly proclaiming in the meetings that their team is so dedicated that they can work on weekends and holidays as well," one user wrote. "Most Indian managers' flex is not optimal resource utilisation, execution or timely delivery. Rather, they would flex about all year, round-the-clock deployment of resources, which is a pointless exercise," commented another. "Well, that's pretty much how things work in Indian MNCs. I do empathise with you, but unfortunately, you won't find any respite here. Everything is 24/7 and #1 priority," wrote a third user.

Bank Holidays In August 2025: List Of Dates On Which Banks Will Remain Closed
A new month, August, is starting. Let's take a look at the days when the bank will remain closed in India. A bank holiday refers to a day when banks are closed and do not conduct transactions. Bank holidays can be declared by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) or by individual state governments. Banks may close their branches on holidays, affecting customer transactions and services. The online banking services may still be available, but some transactions may be restricted or delayed. On bank holiday days, ATMs may be unavailable or experience disruptions. There are three types of bank holidays: National Holidays are observed across all states and union territories, such as Republic Day and Independence Day; Festival Holidays are specific to certain regions or communities, such as Diwali, Eid, or Christmas; and State-Specific Holidays are declared by state governments and vary from state to state. According to the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, any instrument (such as a cheque) presented for payment on a bank holiday will not be honoured until the next working day.

Eligibility survey to conclude in Dharavi on Aug 12
The survey began in March 2024, with initial targets for completion in one year. Residents settled on or before January 1, 2000, are eligible for a free 350 sq ft flat within Dharavi. Those settled between January 1, 2000, and January 1, 2011, may qualify for 300 sq ft units outside Dharavi, under PMAY, either rental or purchase at nominal cost. While the door-to-door visits will end on August 12, residents who call the DRP helpline with valid documents will be entitled to submit documents needed to decide on the eligibility for resettlement. DRP officials said the survey teams will stop door-to-door visits after August 12, but if any tenement holder contacts the DRP helpline and visits DRP and NMDPL offices in Dharavi with valid documents, they will still be added to the survey documentation. As per the latest data, more than 87,000 tenements have completed the household survey, and more than one lakh tenements have been mapped across Dharavi. 'So far, over 87,000 tenements have completed the household (door-to-door) survey, and more than one lakh tenements have been mapped. Similarly, all tenements of the included parcels eligible for redevelopment have been included. 'In total, around 1.20 lakh tenements have been mapped and are expected to be built in Dharavi, Kurla, Mulund, Kanjurmarg, Bhandup and Mukteshwar. No new door-to-door survey visits will be carried out after Aug 12, 2025, for areas covered already. It will be considered that those who did not take part chose to opt out of the Government scheme. They can, however, submit their requests later once Draft Annexure-II is announced,' a DRP official said. The redevelopment team has already shared multiple times that the survey is in its final phase. 'Those who haven't participated so far for any reason should do so immediately. Since most of Dharavi has been covered, we don't see the need for further door-to-door visits,' the official added. The DRP has covered the entire Dharavi, and only a few pockets are remaining. 'Only those few pockets are remaining where there is still some dilemma/to extort more like private landowners, and some areas like Kumbharwada and Compound 13. Whenever any resident calls the helpline with valid documents, teams will immediately include them in the survey list,' the official said. The state cabinet recently gave its approval to a policy of accommodating even lessees and other commercial units, not having ownership and who have been operating in Dharavi, to be tenants at the 10 per cent space reserved for commercial use in the rehabilitation buildings. This move largely ensures that both eligible and ineligible commercial units will operate out of Dharavi, thereby keeping their business and commercial ecosystem intact. The Dharavi Redevelopment Project is the Maharashtra government's pioneering move towards integrated township and commercial spaces and distributed public amenities. The masterplan envisages a human-centric redevelopment plan with co-location of residential and commercial activity, which is fundamental to Dharavi's 'work-life' model. It lays tremendous emphasis on infrastructure development, which would benefit millions of Mumbaikars. 'The Dharavi Redevelopment Project is planned as a self-contained ecosystem, a city within a city. The government doesn't want anyone to be left out in this housing-for-all, largest urban rejuvenation project in the country's history,' the DRP official said.
