Toxic workplaces, harmful environments created by superiors, employees being punished or treated in a wrong manner are all things that happen at literally every single place of work.
Doesn’t matter if it’s the rigid corporate sector, the not-for-profit one, the entertainment sector, media, law, medical, you name it and practically all of the wrong and unethical things happen in all of these sectors.
Still, founders and superiors try to keep all this bad stuff under the carpet, not letting it get out because if it does it will surely sully the good company name and affect the money that they are making.
But in today’s time with social media, movements meant to uncover all these hidden truths and even the pandemic, people are speaking out more and more about the unfair practices that happen in their workplace.
Something similar was uncovered by a Bloomberg report where employees from Ola while choosing to remain anonymous did come out to reveal the founder and CEO Bhavish Aggarwal’s aggressive and rude attitude at work.
Ola Workplace Toxic?
Bloomberg in a report claimed that they interviewed over two dozen employees from Ola both current and former ones and spoke with them about their experience working at the ridesharing company.
As per the report “Aggarwal’s relentless pace and management style have vexed some managers and board members at Ola Electric, raising concerns about safety and the business model.”
The report also stated how roughly three dozen senior executives from across Ola’s ventures including Ola Electric and ANI Technologies Pvt have quit their position within just a year or two of joining the company.

It also wrote about how while visiting the Ola Futurefactory, said to be “world’s largest electric two-wheeler plant” Bhavish Aggarwal found an error in that an entryway that was closed off when it should be open.
As per the report, people present there spoke about how the custodian manage was instantly punished by making him “run three laps around the several-acre-large plant.”
Employees also reportedly said that Aggarwal would use Punjabi epithets or abuse on the staff, calling teams “useless” because page numbers were missing, or paper clips were crooked or even over the printing paper’s quality, presentations being torn up, and more.
An employee said that “The workplace culture inside Ola Electric has turned hostile over the past couple of years.”
It was also said in the report that “Meetings scheduled for an hour often lasted 10 minutes because Aggarwal would lose patience over a superfluous sentence in a memo, a crooked paper clip, or the quality of printing paper.”
Allegedly the employees claim they were also given unfair deadlines and sudden meetings would take place even sometimes at “1 am or 3 am”.
