Diwali celebrations at EY goes viral, internet points out toxic work culture

Diwali is here, and the festive spirit is buzzing—so much so that you might actually look forward to heading to the office! With celebrations, games, and vibrant decorations filling the air, it’s a joyful time. However, a video showcasing the Diwali festivities at the EY Gurgaon office is going viral for unexpected reasons. The reactions from viewers have drawn attention to the tragic death of a 26-year-old EY employee earlier this year, which her mother attributed to workplace overwork. As the celebrations unfold, many are reminding each other not to forget the serious concerns surrounding workplace culture amidst the festivities.

CA Sneha Chanchlani, who identifies as an EY employee, shared a video titled "Diwali Celebration at EY Gurgaon." 

Check out the video here:

The clip captures the vibrant office celebration, showing employees embracing the festive spirit with lights, decorations, and plenty of enthusiasm. 

In one scene, a woman struts down a makeshift red carpet as if she's on a runway, adding to the lively Diwali atmosphere. 

The festive scenes caught a lot of attention online, not just for the celebrations but also sparking conversations around work culture at EY, bringing back memories of earlier discussions about employee well-being.

In comments, people were quick to point out, "Ye voh hi crowd hai? Jo apne co worker ke last ritual me nhi gye." (Is this the same crowd that didn't attend their coworker's last rites?)

Another wrote, "EY❌ suicide point✅"

Someone pointed out that even in this celebration, not all team members could go. One said, "Team team pe dependent hai jaane de yaa nahi meri to Meeting thi so yeh sab nahi dekh paya."

And as one rightly said, "No offense and hard feelings to these guys but after this video all i can say is don't take your job seriously even after you die people of your own company will get over it in few days, someone new will take your place and no one will remember your achievements and hardwork done for your company. That's life."
