A Pune-based engineer, Bhupendra Vishwakarma, has sparked a significant conversation about workplace culture after quitting his job at Infosys without having another offer lined up.
In a viral LinkedIn post, Vishwakarma detailed six reasons for his decision, shedding light on systemic issues within the company that many employees might silently endure.
Bhupendra Vishwakarma’s Viral Post about Infosys
Bhupendra, who was the sole breadwinner for his family, shared his reasons for resigning in a candid LinkedIn post.
He highlighted the lack of financial growth, unfair workload redistribution, stagnant career prospects, a toxic client environment, lack of recognition, and regional bias in onsite opportunities as the primary factors that led to his decision.
Despite being promoted from System Engineer to Senior System Engineer, Bhupendra did not receive a salary hike.
He worked hard for three years, met expectations, and contributed to the team, yet saw no financial acknowledgment of his efforts.
When his team shrank from 50 to 30 members, the extra workload was simply dumped on the remaining employees.
Instead of hiring replacements or providing support, the management took the easy route—overburdening the existing team without compensation or even recognition.
Stagnant Career Prospects and Lack of Recognition
Assigned to a loss-making account, Bhupendra saw no room for growth. Limited salary hikes and bleak career progression made staying on feel like a professional deadweight.
Unrealistic client expectations for immediate responses created a high-pressure environment.
Constant escalations over minor issues led to a toxic work culture that eroded employee well-being.
Despite earning praise from colleagues and seniors, none of it translated into promotions, salary hikes, or career advancement.
Bhupendra felt his hard work was being exploited rather than rewarded.
Regional Bias in Onsite Opportunities at Infosys
Bhupendra claimed that onsite roles weren’t based on merit but favored employees who spoke specific languages.
Hindi-speaking employees like him were overlooked, regardless of their performance.
Bhupendra’s post has resonated with many and sparked an important conversation about corporate work culture.
His revelations have drawn both support and criticism, with Infosys yet to respond to the allegations.
