The current leadership style in the testing team is creating a lot of mental pressure. It is pure command and control—forcing people to sit in the office without any focus on output. Forcing people to come to office while other teams have a great culture of motivating them to come. I have worked for 2 organization and never saw this kind of leaders. There are few companies like wipro, tcs which we heard off, but not in any product development companies focusing on the innovation
Innovation is zero; we are following the same old processes from decades ago which is what I heard from my seniors. Worst of all, the Lead’s personal closeness with HR ensures that no one can speak up, Indian have always been shy to compliant on any of the things and we don't care of anything apart from the office things.
This culture of forcing instead of leading is ki-ling the team's morale.
