I am having a roller coaster ride on my career path. I started my career as a Service Delivery Partner, then I got the position of HR Manager in an organization, and now I am working as a Business Development Executive & HR Recruiter. So many changes in just 1.5 years of my career. Yes, people say it's due to instability, but I realized I am intolerant towards wrong work ethics.
Please answer my question: Where has humanity gone from humans in the corporate world? We are turning machines into humans, and humans, in turn, are becoming machines. We doubt each other but blindly believe in machines. We say emotions are not to be used in the workplace, then what is the difference between a human and a machine? And why are humans comfortable working with a lie but not with the truth?
I apologize if my question unintentionally offends anyone.

Dear Gargi,
Social dynamics change according to the needs of the times, and so do business enterprises. No insulation is possible against the percolation of the permissiveness of society into its micro-constituents. To me, your intolerance to the existing state of human relations within a short span of 1.5 years of tenure probably blows things out of proportion. Then, try to empathize with a person in their late 50s still active in handling human resources like millennials in work life. If you realize that existence is always in flux, you will certainly do away with the Aristotelian logic of duality in life, i.e., adaptability vs. compromise, and seek the third, namely meaningful toleration. Tolerate simply means our acceptance or endurance of something unpalatable with forbearance!

Dear Gargi,
Your post is highly interpretative. I request you to write what exactly the issue was. Secondly, I recommend preparing your career plan. Have you done that? Rather than worrying about humanity and all that, it is better to concentrate on one's career.
Recently, I had given a reply on career planning. Take inputs from my reply. The link is as below: https://www.citehr.com/595865-best-m...ml#post2382901
All the best!

Did you work in the same organization? What exactly is the wrong work ethic to which you object? The corporate world is highly competitive, and sometimes, in the process of achieving results, people behave differently and appear inhuman. Adequate emotional intelligence (EQ) is a highly desired quality in the corporate world. So, try to accept the pressures of the corporate world and strive to balance them out. One does not need to be machine-like, programmed, and tuned like a robot. Be as human as possible while working to the best of your ability. You have expressed your feelings in a general manner, but if you are seeking advice and solutions, one would need specific details.

Many excellent views have been expressed. When we see our career or, for that matter, even in our private life, we are fraught with situations that are not within our control. Most of the popular management theories, or for that matter, even our Indian philosophy, suggest that we are always responsible for our actions in most cases. When we come across situations beyond our control, it will be prudent to do the best we can from our side or leave the scene.

I am thankful to all the replies in here. I can draw the following conclusions from all of the above:
1. Never give up.
2. Be your best.
I'm grateful to the supporters here and also to the adversaries. Would personally try imbibing these qualities in myself and as an HR will help my colleagues too to understand this.
