[oc] met an accident and person started abusing and extorted money

Today, I met with an accident near Kolte Patil Life Republic, Pune, and honestly, the entire experience has left me extremely frustrated.

A white car was speeding, and while trying to avoid it, I ended up hitting an auto-rickshaw. I'm still not sure whose fault it was, and I am not claiming that I was completely blameless. Accidents happen, and I was willing to pay for the actual damage caused.

But what happened afterward was completely unacceptable.

I was still lying on the road after the accident when the first thing the auto-rickshaw driver said to me was, "10,000 de mujhe." Instead of checking whether I was okay or discussing the damage reasonably, he immediately demanded ₹10,000.

His minor son also started hurling abuses at me while I was dealing with the situation.

I clearly told the driver that I was ready to pay for the damages. I was not refusing responsibility or trying to run away. I simply wanted the damage to be assessed fairly.

However, he insisted that I leave my bike there and accompany him to a garage. While we were on the way, he threatened me, saying, "₹6,000 de, warna maarunga." When I said I would call the police, he threatened to gather local auto-rickshaw drivers and get me beaten up.

At that point, I was more concerned about my safety than arguing over money. Eventually, I paid him ₹6,000 just to get out of the situation.

The irony is that I wouldn't even have minded paying ₹8,000 if a garage had properly inspected the damage and given me a genuine repair estimate. I was willing to compensate him for the actual loss. What I objected to was being threatened, abused, and pressured into paying an arbitrary amount.

The only reason the amount eventually came down from ₹10,000 to ₹6,000 was that I called a friend who has a heavy voice and knows the local area. Only then did the situation calm down enough for us to settle the matter.

But the damage to my day was already done.

I was on my way to an important business meeting. This entire episode wasted nearly 50 minutes of my time, and the person I was supposed to meet became frustrated and cancelled the meeting. So, apart from losing ₹6,000, I potentially lost a business opportunity as well.

Afterward, I contacted my third-party insurance provider to understand my options. They told me that since I had already paid the money, pursuing the matter would require a police complaint and potentially a court case, which could take at least 6–8 months.

So now I'm left wondering whether pursuing this is even worth the additional time and stress.

My point is simple: I am not saying that I should not pay for damage if I am responsible for an accident. Of course, genuine damage should be compensated. If I had been given a reasonable estimate from a garage, I would have paid it.

But why should anyone have to tolerate verbal abuse, threats of physical violence, and intimidation just because they were involved in an accident?

Why should someone be forced to pay money out of fear rather than through a fair assessment of the damage? And when someone threatens to gather a crowd to beat you up if you refuse to pay, what are you realistically supposed to do in that moment?

I could have insisted on calling the police right there, but I was alone, my bike was involved, the situation was getting aggressive, and I had legitimate concerns for my safety. Paying the money felt like the quickest way to get out of the situation.

Honestly, the ₹6,000 hurts, but losing my time, missing my business meeting, and being threatened when I was already dealing with an accident frustrates me even more.

I'm not trying to escape responsibility for an accident. I'm simply frustrated that a situation that could have been handled calmly and fairly turned into an intimidating experience.

Sometimes, it's not the money itself that bothers you the most. It's the feeling that someone can threaten you in broad daylight, force you to pay under pressure, and walk away while you're left dealing with the consequences.

Just needed to vent.

32yo m looking for f

Hi,

I'm a 32-year-old Jain originally from Jodhpur, Rajasthan, currently based in Pune.

I work in an MNC in a work-from-home role and have a stable career with a decent income. I own a flat in Pune (on a home loan) and my family also has a house in Jodhpur.

I'm looking to connect with someone from a Jain or Hindu family. We are fairly liberal in our lifestyle and not very strict about traditional Jain practices. We do eat onion and garlic.

A little about me: I don't smoke or drink, and I enjoy travelling, watching movies, exploring new places, and spending time with family and friends.

If this sounds like a good match or you'd like to know more, feel free to send me a message.

Thank you.

Left 8 years old job as company was becoming a lala company

I worked at the same company for 8 years.

The company was genuinely good when I joined, but over the last year it slowly turned into a typical lala company.

I used to lead a department of 18 people. The company had around 125 employees, and my department contributed roughly 30% of the company's revenue. I was a strict manager, but I always fought for my team whenever there were issues with management. I also gave deserving people hikes of up to 25%, and around 80% of my team received at least a 15% hike each year.

In June 2025, seven people from my team resigned. Six of them joined the same company.

To get an easy and fast release, they collectively labelled me as toxic. What bothered me was that out of those six people, I had barely interacted with two of them, yet they also gave negative feedback about me.

The market was crazy at that time. Companies were hiring aggressively and offering 100% hikes. My company didn't have the budget to retain people. Ironically, despite all the complaints about me, most of those employees were willing to stay if they got the same hike.

A month later, the company mysteriously found the budget to hire someone to replace me and offered him close to a 100% hike.

The official reason for removing me was that I was "toxic". My entire team was handed over to the new guy, and I had to start from scratch.

So I did.

I rebuilt a team of 4 to 5 people and continued working.

At the same time, around 60% of the clients handled by my old team churned. The reasons had nothing to do with delivery quality.

First, the sales team had increased commercials to absurd levels and refused to negotiate because the CEO believed that a company with 120 employees should behave like a premium brand.

Second, many clients were facing funding and profitability issues due to market conditions and decided to move work in house.

As a result, both my new team and the replacement's team struggled because there simply were not enough clients.

Then in February 2026, management decided to restructure the company into pods.

Earlier, my department operated independently while another department had six different teams. Management's new idea was to create eight pods with around six to eight people each, where every pod would function like its own mini company.

To achieve that, they took four people from my rebuilt team, took members from the other manager's team, and distributed everyone across different pods.

The logic was simple: build your team again.

Four of the pods were basically existing teams with additional people added. The other four had only one or two original members and had to be built almost from scratch.

At that point, I decided I wasn't going to be part of this circus anymore.

I interviewed elsewhere and resigned.

The reaction from management was priceless.

Suddenly, I was told I could lead my old department again. Suddenly, I was told to rebuild the department from scratch. Suddenly, the replacement manager wasn't doing so well after all.

Then I got a ninety minute lecture about how AI is the future, teams don't matter, people are just numbers, and I should focus on AI rather than leadership.

I still left.

The funny thing is that I only got a 10% hike in my new job.

But it is a permanent work from home role at an MNC, and after the chaos of the last few years, the work feels like a breeze.

The biggest lessons I learned are:

Management will always prioritize its own interests, even if you have spent years helping build the company.

Loyalty in the corporate world is largely transactional. Employees leave when better opportunities come along, and companies do the same when it benefits them.

I have changed a lot because of this experience.

I no longer see companies as family. They are places where I exchange my skills for money. Nothing more, nothing less.

I was recently searching for work from home jobs in digital marketing, came across a vietnam based company, name was Crossian, they sent me a aptitude test of 2 hours which i passed, then i interviewed with their HR "My Thao Thi Thai". She asked me about my experience, package expectation and everything, then she said its a monday to sunday job, i said come again monday to sunday? then when it is off, they said you get 15 days leaves in a year, i asked her does her labour law works like that for your natives to which she didn't replied, and ended the call and never contacted back

I was going to ask her if her investor was Narayan Murthy,

Jokes apart, is this the kind of treatment Indians are getting around the globe?
