What’s the chindiest cost cutting measure your company has taken?
Moengage is hosting a “flagship” event in their “home turf” and are asking employees not to come so they can save money on the number of plates served during lunch and the amount of beer bottles served. What’s the cheapest cost cutting measure your company has taken so far? The irony is that Moengage called an investor to whitewash their financial condition in a recent town hall.
Kachre ka dibba tha for every employees desk, hata diya and now we have only 1 central dustbin.

Collected 500 per employee to celebrate ganesh chaturthi in pandal. I mean don’t celebrate if you’re so chindi
One of my prev companies had placed a timing on the usage of coffee machine. You could only use the machines during the 10am-12pm to 3pm-5pm window.

ok the 5 is dumb af lmao.
Though i guess you could buy a rs. 300 mouse and remove all serials then return it, consider the missing serials its age.
Brother, I forgot I got a mouse 7 years back. 7 year with 2 years of covid was like 10 years. 😂

BYO coffee, since office coffee machine now vends only the shittiest coffee. Single item only. When I joined it was 7, and then every month, something disappeared.
Also they don't store video surveillance footage to save cost. How do I know? Some stole my stuff in office, no one knows. Theft is quite common. Literally chindi attitude of both firm and employees.

Earlier, biscuits were kept as it intact in their packets. I often use to bring some packets back to my PG.
Now the biscuits are kept in jar after removing the package so that people don't take them home and eat only how much they want in office.

At YUBI,
1. Earlier - basic breakfast, lunch and snacks
Now - less than basic breakfast, paid lunch, no snacks
2. AC been switched off in the middle of the day for sometime
3. People being fired with immediate effect and some pretending of leaving (but actually fired) with notice period
On the flip side, everyone is being mandatorily asked to come to office. No WFH.
No cups for having free cofee instead bring your own cup.
No new chair even through they have become obsolete, No New system even though its effecting productivity for the whole day. Instead employees are given LOP for that.
Its the TechM saga

My remote fintech startup threw a nice party in one of the most expensive places in Bangalore. Booze, food what not, even one of founders friend also had a heartful - after everything once the bill came, they told everyone has to split and each of us had to pay equally - even the ones who don't drink🤣🤯
From next time.. I am really gonna be wary of attending company events..
Lol! This company did so many things. Food was free at first then they put restrictions. No tea or coffee no shakes no anything. They say they are flexible and do this. No appraisals because employees don't deserve it but they are just cost cutting
No more toffees kept outside at the reception due to employees of other company (in the same office building) stealing them all
