What did former Zepto contractual employee say in viral redit post?
The former contract worker said he accepted the job offer as he was “broken, unemployed and desperate”. He also confessed to writing a redit post with the help of chat.
“Six days, sometimes all seven. 9 am to 9 pm, sometimes later. No lunch. No holidays. No structure. If someone in the team took a break, it was fine -but if I took one, I got a call from a senior that I am not ‘committed’.”
“A manager literally started creating hand gestures as if he was going to slap or beats me. He never hit me, but was constantly.
“I used to freeze on my desk, scared, worried, and helpless. It’s not a task. It’s a psychological war.”
The user said on its final working day, HR asked to return the company laptop within an hour, despite telling HR “zero sympathy”.
