All of us have had managers who push you to do more work and work harder and there are various options on how to deal with them depending of the situation. Two folks in Bengaluru had a very unique approach to this, instead of working with the manager or switching jobs they decided the best option was to hire goons to beat up the manager. Once hired, the Goons attacked the manager in the middle of the road in daytime and the whole thing was caught on camera and the video has since then gone viral.
The victim, identified as Suresh, is said to be an auditor in a private firm. He joined the firm about a year ago. He reportedly has been pressuring two other employees of the firm, Umashankar and Vinesh, to work faster. He reportedly used to pressure the duo to clear transactions daily, which they used to take days to complete.
Feeling aggrieved, they purportedly engaged goons to attack the auditor.
I do get the temptation to have a manager beaten up when you feel that they are putting undue pressure on you but that is a wrong way to deal with such a situation. They could have reached out to more senior leaders and reported the pressure being put on them by the manager so that they can address it. Or complained to HR or looked for another job. There are so many other ways to handle this that I am stunned they thought this was a good idea.
