Hi Renuka,
1. First and foremost - you have a choice. Let's accept it - working in this condition is your choice, other choice is resign and look for job, which you have not chosen - rightly so. So, you must accept that you have two choices and you have decided to make this choice. Once you accept this - you'd not feel helpless.
2. Having accepted that this is how your organisation works - work as if everything is right - since you have chosen to work in this environment, why not work with positivity and be happy than work with negativity and be sad & stessed? Your being negative and sad does not change the environment for better anyway. While you are there, perform as best as you can, hopefully, you'd be in a position of strength and there are better chances that your boss will listen to you/your problems.
Whenever you are sad again about your condition, remember, you have chosen to work, no one has forced you to work here.
3. Your organisation must have gone thru tough times during the lean phase - and might have prompted them to focus internally on productivity. Many companies are strict about wasting time in chit-chat, personal calls etc. If you look at the BPO industry, cell phones are simply not allowed. You submit your phone when you get in and get it back after your shift! Every organisation has it's compulsions, let's not label them as jail. You do not go to jail by choice!
4. Having said this, I do not mean that you should stick to this organisation. Obviously this is not the best place to be in. With market opening up, changing job is going to be easier - but do not expect anything overnight. Keep trying.
Sorry to sound so harsh.
Be happy *always*
