“In India, we still have this uncle and bhaiya thing which exploits workers at the workplace. Don’t hike the salary, say we are like family and fool the workers. Unnecessary 'family ties' at work to save paying on overtime and extra work,” the man wrote in his post.?

He further pointed out the importance of professionalism. “Professionalism is extremely important when you have a job. No didi or bhaiya. The company will never belong to you. It’s just a trap,” he wrote.?

“I'm afraid you have taken a dig at the whole CA Fraternity. But I completely agree with your post!” a third user commented.?

“The amount of risk an employer takes is larger than an employee's. It's very naive to think they will give an equal or fair share in the profits. Employee class needs to be very clear and should always look for opportunities that benefit them rather than falling for the "we are a family" trap,” argued another user.?
