An Infosys employee based in Delhi has gone viral on Instagram after listing the reasons she “hates” her job — only to reveal that her grievances are rooted in flexible working hours, hybrid work policies, and a supportive management culture.
The video, shared by Rohini Singh, who identifies herself as a techie at Infosys, has triggered a discussion online, with many questioning whether she was actually part of a project or belonged to the human resources department.
‘I hate this company’ — with a twist
In the video, Singh said she has completed one year at Infosys and claims she has “started hating” the company. She then explained that her dislike stems from the freedom the firm offers.
“I can wake up at any time, even around 10 am. It depends on you whether you want to work at 10 or not,” she said, adding that her work schedule is largely flexible.
Singh also said she is allowed to work from multiple Infosys locations across India. While her base location is Hyderabad, she says she can also work from Noida, Bengaluru, Pune, and other offices, depending on her needs and approvals.
Hybrid work and minimal office hours
A key reason for her supposed frustration, Singh said, is the quantum of work‑from‑home she gets. For the upcoming month, she says she is required to go to the office for only one week.
Even then, her office hours are limited. “I usually come around 1 or 2 pm and leave by 6 pm. I only need to work about 3.5 hours in the office to mark attendance and can continue the rest of my work from home,” she said.
According to Singh, these benefits have made her hesitant to switch jobs. “I’m scared of changing companies because I don’t know if I’ll get similar benefits elsewhere,” she added.
Project‑based flexibility, not HR privilege
Responding to speculation in the comments, Singh clarified that she is not from the HR department and has never been on the bench. She also said that the ability to work from different Infosys campuses depends on the project and team requirements, not a blanket policy.
Infosys has continued to position itself as a competitive employer, recently hiking entry‑level salaries and offering packages of up to Rs 21 lakh for graduates in specialised roles.
