I want to share my personal experience about bias and favoritism in corporate jobs something every newcomer should be aware of.
I started my corporate journey at Concentrix Gurgaon as a Chat Advisor. It was my first job after graduation, and I had no prior work experience. I was full of enthusiasm but completely new to the corporate environment.
During my initial months, I was dedicated, gave my 100%, and received appreciation from my team and manager for my work. Everything seemed fine until I faced my first taste of corporate bias.
I once asked my manager for a few days of leave because I was unwell. Surprisingly, he rejected my request and warned that I could be terminated if I didn’t come. At the same time, I noticed that employees from Delhi or Gurgaon were getting their leaves approved regularly. Being from Rajasthan, I felt sidelined.
This wasn’t a one-time incident. A couple of months later, I requested leave again to visit home. It was important to me , I hadn’t gone home for months. Yet, my manager rejected it once more, showing clear favoritism toward others based on their location.
This experience opened my eyes to the realities of corporate life:
Bias exists – sometimes it’s subtle, sometimes it’s obvious.
Effort doesn’t always guarantee recognition – you could be performing well, yet still face unfair treatment.
Corporate politics are real – who you are, where you come from, and even your luck can influence decisions.
After repeated instances of bias, I lost motivation and my work suffered. Eventually, my contract ended, and I returned home to rethink my career choices.
This experience taught me an important lesson: not all companies treat employees equally, and sometimes your environment can affect your performance and mental well-being. But it also made me wiser about choosing workplaces where fairness and respect are valued.
Your experience matters! Share your job journey in the comments and help others learn from it.
