This is a conversation between Frank and Ritesh about a mental wellness session offered at Ritesh’s workplace in India. The discussion highlights the challenges of the IT industry in India, particularly regarding employee stress and attrition, and explores the company’s efforts to address these issues through initiatives like mental health seminars. A key point of debate arises around a neurosurgeon’s statement that “ignorance is happiness” and whether such wellness sessions truly tackle the systemic problems like the focus on “cost to company” over salary and the lack of fulfilling work, which contribute to employee unhappiness and the desire to frequently change jobs. The conversation also touches upon the difference in work culture and expectations between India and Europe, suggesting a cultural conflict as traditional Indian collective values clash with Western-influenced individualistic corporate environments.
