I’m planning to buy a chimney for my parents’ home in a village. Budget is around ₹12k–14k.
Looking for:
Reliable brand
Good suction for Indian cooking
Low maintenance (preferably filterless + auto-clean)
Good after-sales service
Which model would you recommend based on your experience?
A few days ago, I saw another civil engineer on Reddit talk about being mentally exhausted because of a 6-day work week. It gave me the courage to share my own story.
Company name: [MEGHA ENGINEERING INFRASTRUCTURE LTD, MEIL]
A 67,000₹ cr valuation company is treating employees as garbage.
I’m 25 years old, a B.Tech Civil Engineering graduate from a reputed college, with 3 years of experience.
This is my reality:
₹23,000/month salary.
6-day work week.
3-month notice period.
The salary is painful. The 6-day work week is exhausting.
But what breaks me is feeling trapped.
If I resign today, I still have to serve a 3-month notice period. If I can’t complete it, I have to compensate the company for the unserved notice period as per my employment contract. It feels like even leaving comes at a huge cost.
When I finally told my manager how difficult things had become, his answer was just:
“Quit the job.”
That sentence has stayed with me.
Sometimes I wonder if our time, our mental health, and our lives have any value at all.
I’m not asking for luxury.
I’m asking for dignity.
Fair pay.
A 5-day work week.
Reasonable notice periods.
Why can’t we Indians unite against this human exploitation? If someone is always there to fulfill your position doesn’t mean to exploit them by them granted .
Two college girls were electrocuted after rainwater under Nerul's LP Bridge became electrified due to a short circuit.
These politicians are living lavishly while ordinary people are left to die.
It’s nothing.
Worth of avg Indian in India. Earn money, pay your taxes so that politicians can make generational wealth and loot as much as they can and send their kids to study in abroad.
And eventually they’ll leave to foreign once their political career is ended.
But you and me, will have to suffer in this rotten nation, and produce kids just to contribute generational wealth to newly elected politicians.
This will never gonna end.
Waiting for one chance to leave this country…

civil engineer’s post about 6-day week burnout gave me courage to share mine.
I’m 29, B.Tech Civil from a reputed college, 4 years experience at Megha Engineering.
Reality:
• ₹24,000/month
• 6-day work week
• 3-month notice period (basically trapped — have to pay 3 months’ salary to leave early)
Confronted my manager about pay, exhaustion, and no life.
Response: “Quit the job.”
How are we supposed to marry, support parents, or build a family in Hyderabad/Bengaluru on this after 4 years?
Feels like employee mental health and time don’t matter in India.
Civil engineers (or others in similar sectors): How do you cope or escape?
I barely have time for daily chores. But I am being exhausted a lot daily.

3-month notice period.
The part that hurts the most is the notice period.
If I resign today, serve one month, and need to leave before completing the remaining notice period, I’d have to compensate the company for the unserved notice period as per my employment terms.
For me, that effectively means losing the equivalent of three months’ salary just to move on with my career.

I confronted my manager about all of this.
His response?
“Quit the job.”
I was shocked. That’s all I got after years of working.
Sometimes I genuinely feel like I was born in the wrong country, where an employee’s time, mental health, and personal life don’t seem to matter.
How is someone supposed to get married, support parents, build a family, in Hyderabad or Bengaluru on ₹24,000 per month after 4 years of experience?
Why can’t we demand stronger labour laws and better protection for employees?
Idk what to do.. ?
