Pros

None of the feature is good for IT peopel

Cons

When micromanagement kills your mental peace I recently left my role at a major IT firm because the management style became unbearable. It wasn't just the long hours. though being forced to work well beyond a 9-hour shift was standard. it was the feeling of being treated like property rather than an employee. During my last few months, the micromanagement was constant, and the verbal harassment in meetings started affecting my sleep and mental health. I even had a leave request denied during a family emergency because 'deliverables were pending,' despite me being ahead of schedule. I saw several talented people walk out for the same reason recently. The brand name on the resume is tempting, but at what cost? For those of you in high-pressure IT roles, how do you draw the line before it ruins your health? Is it worth staying for the tag, or is it better to jump ship early?
