TB to the time when a Startup CEO got pissed because I didn’t use the word “Please”

Hi, I am working in a early stage startup and our CEO has established the culture of transparency where he shares every update regarding company funding, customer sales, revenue and answers all questions within company but one thing that has been bugging me is his micromanaging. He has integrated a bot in slack which ask for what did you do yesterday ? and what are you going to do today ? , Everyday He also managed a spreadsheet of our tasks and takes the exact estimate in days makes a calendar view there and keeps asking up to update on our tasks progress in multiple meetings or on chat. I didn't had such experience in prior companies but he mentioned, such things were being followed in NyKa, DineOut, etc as well Does the well known companies like Phonepe, Uber, Zomato, google, amazon, Microsoft, De shaw, sprinklr follow this as well ? I just wanna check, is he doing too much or it this a standard in Indian companies ? Thanks to all whoever reply to this post, please share your current & past experience.

If I hire you, will you work 7 days a week & take a 35% pay cut on the current base? (forget my GSU & Bonus) I understand that the market is bad right now but trust me no one is open for slavery. 🥲 Yours sincerely, Not your slave.

I have been on this journey for a long time now. Lots of failure comes with loads of learning. Each step or initiative I took has helped me grow as a person, the business guy (ed-tech, media space), and also in terms of technicalities (full-stack product management, hardcore hands-on into technology and I love user experience) Ps: currently running an edtech startup in pre-seed/seed stage Feel free to ask anything, would be happy to help even personally

It can be either a strange workplace policy, an altercation with a manager or absolutely anything else.

Ok so some interns were on leave today due to long weekend or they genuinely had an family emergency But wait the founder told that’s not the way how internships work , we will close their internships I mean why you too have your families at home

Happy almost Halloween! What have been your most horrific experiences at work? I’ll go first. My manager went on a week long holiday, all the while not replying to texts or calls and came back and yelled at me for going on without his approval :__

The company haven’t paid us 3-6months of salary saying that there’s a delay in raising VC funds. They also didn’t pay TDS and gave us Form 16 for ITR. I reached out to our client company where I worked briefly and they were happy to offer me a job there. I’m dangerously out of money in savings and it’s still uncertain in my current company about any funds. So I have given a early date to him because I really need their salary and joining bonus to survive actually. I thought I can immediately relieve from my current company as I don’t have finished projects and haven’t involve in new. But they are not responding to my calls and mail requesting for immediate resignation. What should I do now ?

I'll go first-- mic not muted.

Do founders even reply to cold emails . Have emailed about 30 of them but hardly one o two reverts. Are they too busy or cold emails are out of trend? Reaching out to create openings but of no avail yet. On LinkedIn these founders add lines like my DMs are open or reach at this email address, and even after emails no response. I wonder why !!!
