(Representative Image)<\/p>\n<p id=\"0\" class=\"story_para_0\">Social media is flooded with accounts of workplace harassment. Some choose to speak out and fight for their rights, while others endure in silence under mounting stress. One such story from Bengaluru is now gaining attention. A 25-year-old woman recently quit her job at a well-known startup to safeguard her mental health. The work environment had become so toxic that she began experiencing panic attacks even before arriving at the office. In a surprising turn, most of her team also resigned, citing similar concerns about the unhealthy workplace culture.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">Taking to Reddit, the woman wrote, \u201cI\u2019m a 25F based in Bengaluru. I recently put in my papers after months of going through mental harassment at work. I was working as a Product Experience Manager at a major startup and honestly, it got to a point where I would have panic attacks before even stepping into the office. Things were just that bad. What makes it harder is that it wasn\u2019t just me, almost my entire team ended up quitting because of how toxic things had become. I held on as long as I could, but I knew I had to choose my mental health over everything else.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">\u201cRight now, I\u2019ve given myself about 4 months to find a new role and I\u2019m looking for opportunities in customer experience, operations or product consulting roles, preferably something remote or hybrid. If you\u2019ve been through something similar or have any advice on how to navigate job hunting after an experience like this, please do share,&#8221; the 25-year-old added.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">Reacting to the post, a user wrote, \u201cLooks like bad work culture is a norm in Indian startups. Founders burning investor money and expecting 1 person to do 3 people\u2019s work to compensate for that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">One more added, \u201cDon\u2019t know what is happening in Indian corporate culture. Every industry you look at, they have a toxic work culture. Is there even a single Indian company where someone can work peacefully?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">A few weeks ago, another story made waves online, leaving many shocked. An employee recounted having a breakdown during a video call while working from home. They were left alone with the CEO and a few others from different branches, people they barely knew. Throughout the meeting, the CEO repeatedly raised his voice and didn\u2019t allow the employee to speak. As the tension escalated, the employee became so overwhelmed that they began having trouble breathing. Eventually, they collapsed under the pressure, and their mother had to rush them to the hospital.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"data:image\/jpeg;base64,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\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/buzz-staff-17233.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Buzz Staff<\/a><\/p>\n<p>A team of writers at News18.com bring you stories on what\u2019s creating the buzz on the Internet while exploring science, cricket, tech, gender, Bollywood, and culture.<\/p>\n<p>A team of writers at News18.com bring you stories on what\u2019s creating the buzz on the Internet while exploring science, cricket, tech, gender, Bollywood, and culture. <\/p>\n<p>News18&#8217;s viral page features trending stories, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/videos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">videos<\/a>, and memes, covering quirky incidents, social media <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/buzz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">buzz<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/india\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">india<\/a> and around the world, Also Download the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/eng-article-eop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News18 App<\/a>\u00a0to stay updated!<\/p>\n<ul class=\"jsx-3094ff09ea0570ff jsx-187132089 atbtlink Location\">Location :<\/p>\n<p>Delhi, India, India<\/p>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"jsx-3094ff09ea0570ff jsx-187132089 atbtlink fp\">First Published:<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/viral\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">viral<\/a>   25-Year-Old Bengaluru Woman Quits Job Over Panic Attacks: \u2018Entire Team Walked Out\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Last Updated:July 02, 2025, 13:17 IST A 25-year-old woman in Bengaluru chose to leave her high-paying job at&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":33106,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[27715,210,605,517,27716,6766,27714,27713,67,132,68,27712],"class_list":{"0":"post-33105","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mental-health","8":"tag-employee-resignation","9":"tag-health","10":"tag-job-hunting","11":"tag-mental-health","12":"tag-panic-attacks","13":"tag-remote-work","14":"tag-startup-environment","15":"tag-toxic-work-culture","16":"tag-united-states","17":"tag-unitedstates","18":"tag-us","19":"tag-workplace-harassment"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114784756459059932","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33105","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33105"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33105\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33106"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33105"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33105"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33105"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
