Indian Companies Show Varied Approaches to Diwali Holiday Policies and Work Culture
Two contrasting accounts highlight Indian companies' Diwali holiday policies. One company announced five festive holidays and three work-from-home days around Diwali, aiming to provide employees extended breaks and promote work-life balance. Conversely, a Bengaluru software developer shared frustration over his company's lack of extra Diwali holidays, long working hours, and a five-hour daily commute, sparking discussion on leave policies and work culture in some private firms. These perspectives illustrate varied approaches to festival leave and employee welfare in India.
