Bengaluru Employee Questions Limited Diwali Holidays Amid Start-up Work Culture
A Bengaluru-based professional originally from Jaipur questioned why companies cannot offer a week-long Diwali holiday, highlighting how the festival feels different under Bengaluru's start-up work culture with only one or two days off. She noted that employees often struggle to disconnect from work as some team members remain working while others take leave. The post sparked discussions on workplace expectations, changing adult responsibilities, and whether businesses should close during festivals to allow guilt-free celebrations.
