What are the employees supposed to do?
Isn’t salary disbursement the highest priority task for a finance team ?

These morons boast a “Great Place to Work” tag on their main door.
What a waste 😂

Salary delayed twice in 4 months- Grapevine

Hi guys hope you are all doing well and if not I wish you do super soon.

I just had this question in my mind as why the companies hold/delay the salaries to employees and give it back to them after 3-9 days of delay on the new month when the actual salary count is calculated between 1-30/31st of every previous month.

Is there any specific reason?

Hold of salary

Strategy & Operations

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I work as a Product manager at a series A well funded startup.
This company is run by a solo founder/CEO.

This is a wannabe tech and product startup that does not care about their product at all. The internal review meetings get 5 minutes on product and 55 minutes on business and operations on a good day!

All they care about is how to run operations and tech just works on automation instead of building the product for the end user. Every OKR cycle runs for two months where OKRs are set for product but we end up building internal tools because things get "re-prioritised" and operations "can not miss targets".

The worst part is that the strategy changes every 2 months and every week, the CEO keeps adding new "wants". Almost like a baby seeing shiny new toys.
At this stage, the product has become a mess with no identity at all!

This baby always says "But is that even do-able" acts critical and tries to seem smart in front of their employees while lying to the investors and board every other week that we are a tech and product company.

I don't know if this happens at other startups in India. 

Would love to hear what y'all have experienced.

Identifying a Baby founder

You sound like a tech bro, who thinks that only tech runs the world. Huge companies like Tata, reliance etc are built on solid operations and business insights.  
  
 Tech is enabler, if the founder is smart with business and operations, most likely he will make a good business, and unless you start valuing things beyond tech also, you will keep hopping jobs and cribbing why people don’t value you.

Senior Product Manager

I'm unable to understand what sort of entitlement does the leadership hold to ask their employees to work their ass off without any compensation for their efforts.

Like literally bro just said that it's a 7 day work week for the next quarter and fuck your personal life and doesn't even bother to highlight that there would be any gratification for the same.

The mid-senior leadership just acts as pawns and complies with this and in case you highlight this shit show you're fired.

Fuckall Leadership

Make a fake profile on LinkedIn, post this mail there, tag a bunch of people and make this asshole famous. 
  
 Fuck this shit, seriously!

In my BGV process it was found that I was a junior DS in one of the previous orgs. In my resume I mentioned it as just DS, without the 'junior'.
The HR has informed this has come up as a red flag from the BGV company.

This is weird. Has this ever happened to anyone and will this lead to termination? If yes, do they also ask to pay back the salaries? I have already worked for 3 months here.

Senior Data Scientist

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

So it's that time of the year when variable payouts are being processed. Everyone’s excited, checking their bank accounts. 
I get the email from HR - "Your annual bonus is..." 
I open it

It’s enough to buy me a nice lunch
I go to my boss and ask him about it
He says "We had a tough year, need to tighten our belts" 
I look at his belt - it’s designer

Meanwhile, I’m tightening mine to skip meals. I said "Thanks" and left. 
He says "Keep up the good work"
I leave the meeting room and start Googling jobs

HRs in my company are so woke they've now added gender neutral washrooms. Already have a feeling this will become a new makeout spot for office couples.

LinkedIn Layoffs India

(1) Reduce cost of human capital -> (2) Post better EBITDA numbers in earnings calls -> (3) Get big bonuses and sell your equity if its value is rising -> (4) Hire a lot of people again so that you can repeat this cycle again to profit
