In boardrooms across Britain, a familiar ritual unfolds. Leadership unveils a grand transformation plan—agility, innovation, collaboration. PowerPoint slides gleam with purpose.

Why career progression no longer needs a managerial badge

1 week ago | hrkatha.com | Radhika Sharma

In job interviews, truth often wears makeup. A candidate for a mid-level marketing role recently claimed to have “led digital transformation initiatives.” Upon questioning, it emerged he had merely attended meetings where such projects were discussed. His leadership role? Pure fiction. Such embellishment has become endemic. Statistics suggest up to 70 per cent of job seekers lie on their résumés, turning what should be factual documents into creative writing exercises.

It began with a seemingly innocuous reel. An Indian professional, now based in the Netherlands, sipped coffee on a canal-side bench, reflecting on their 35-hour workweek.

A LinkedIn post from another Indian expat in Sweden detailed guilt-free vacations encouraged by her employer, sparking a storm of reactions.

Kiran Shah thought he was doing the right thing. The founder of Market Fit@Go Zero moved his startup’s salary payments from mid-month to the first—a gesture of goodwill designed to ease his employees’ early-month financial pressures. Instead, he got a harsh lesson in modern workplace dynamics: four employees resigned on payday, without notice, pocketing their salaries and walking out the door. Shah’s social media post about the incident ignited fierce debate across India’s startup ecosystem.
