Hats off to Kanan for speaking his heart out against the wrongdoings at the workplace. We need more such guys to speak up to put a dent on the toxic culture prevailing at such workplaces. Thank you Kushal for these podcasts. You're doing really good work.
Im working for a trading company named Optiver in Netherlands and realised the work culture in foreign countries is much better than of India currently.
Proud of you, Kanan for abiding bu your values of restraining from drinking and not allowing non-vegeterians to taint your beliefs. Those people ard bullies and extremely disrespectful in reality. No decent person will behave like the way your manager did.
lol this Kushal is also part of problem. I have been following him since he was a rankholder. There are videos where he talks like huge work hours are okay. Now when Anna died a his videos and podcasts have shifted to toxic work life. Just check it out. He is just monetizing the air. That's all.
I still remember that time during the COVID pandemic when I was in the second year of my articleship. I received a sudden call from home, my mom told me I needed to come back immediately because my father’s health is getting worse. I spoke to my manager for leave, but he didn’t allow it, rather he was trying to convince me that it might just be due to the pandemic and that similar situations were happening to others, no need to worry. I passed this message on to my family, but my older siblings insisted I understand the seriousness of the situation. I then consulted with my seniors in firm, and they advised me that if I continued asking for leave informally, I wouldn’t get it. They suggested me to send a mail directly to the partner and go home. I eventually went home, but by the time I arrived, my father had passed away early the next morning. I didn’t even get to see him one last time.
Kanan seems like a genuine, mature person who’s honest with his work and as well feelings and can also express it well. If a person like him suffers in an organisation, its culture must really be down the gutter.
During a listed client, Being junior i was supposed to take food parcel for the entire team. No one accompanied me. It was summer months that's April end, I was feeling summer stroke badly. They were saying ki Pankaj apna time office general pr book karega where i was doing this thing without any will or enthusiasm. Further on initial client although my plotting was not on any client, on Saturday and Sunday i had arranged a trip with my friends for the first time in a remote area still I had carried my Laptop and its charger there. Friends were laughing but couldn't express them a reality. CA Ana's mistake was that she didn't quit and she was having faith on such dead minded people.
A solution to it join mid yorker firm for first 11 months 15 days and take transfer and do 1 year of industrial training for exposure As internship is now 2 yrs Ty
Hey Kushal! Really felt connected throughout the podcast. The way you frame your questions and the honesty Kanan showed, highly appreciable. Well, I am currently in my articleship period and feel the same required change in the organisation especially when the managers are not treating you rightly. I really hope things change and time finally come when articles are respected and no more treated like " bonded labour " because it's the knowledge and urge to learn that matters the most at the end of the day. Looking forward for more relatable videos. Kudos to the hardwork you put in each and every video.
I watch some of your podcasts relationg to toxic work culture and someone I realise that if I have a manager or partner like that, I am not even able to talk straight and all our tasks will be converted into fights all time as I am a person who knows if I am right, I can't let my opponent win the talk... So yr please help me regarding this how to just ignore manager words.
Document and video record if possible of the toxic situations and behavior. Complain to HR, Resign, and then file a case against them with solid evidence.

Thanks to my family who supported me and asked me to leave the firm within a month, I had faced the same situation as well...they are never gonna change
Icai should actually remove articleship thing it should be kept optional whether someone want to do it or not may be he will be comfortable after ca to take experience he would be more comfortable and more willing or just keep that they should have 3yrs ka experience but yaar ye rules to bekar hai k principal k hath me power rakh k problems create hoti hai it should be like ek bar join kiya to leave ya kam nai hota ye jo bhi its principal problem agar kam nai nikalva sakte just 3 yrs karo ek bar time hogaya bas done phir koi question nai kisi aur k hath me power nai
Research Enron collapse. You will understand why audit firms are required to be objective. They should separate consultancy work from audit. Audits should be conducted by government bodies or independent companies with no MOTIVE to make profit. Any profit making venture should be done solely by a firm because it’s gives independent auditors to ensure that even consultancy work is done properly and professionally you’re liable to give proper advice and a way to prevent more tax evasion. When u don’t have a motive to make profit u can spend more time on audits and be thorough. You will end up employing more people giving reasonable salaries and also teach them skills to figure out how to detect fraudulent practices. Think outside the box. See how everything changes in the business world and how magically every accounting firm will work more efficiently now.
