Ownership and Accountability

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

someone has to take up that responsibility

I am fed up here as I don't see accountability anywhere. 
There was a Telugu Movie starring Mahesh Babu where he being CM says, in foreign, people are responsible and accountable and they made their lives beautiful. How amazing, right? I truly resonate with that thought

We lack accountability in everything we do.
- if something goes right, it's us, if wrong, it's them!
- We don't hold our govt politicians on their promises, on delivering things of value
- Companies go on screwing us, we don't give a damn. Refunds are processed without timelines, cases in country are backlogged for years and years
- We cannot even keep our cities clean, our air pure and our water drinkable and we are least bothered by it
- We cannot maintain our own infrastructure like Buses, railways, trains. We fucking are stealing mugs from railway toilets due to which it's chained (wtf!)

We don't want responsibility and no one should question us.
How are we really supposed to grow?  
Stringent laws in place helps with accountability of companies who at all times think how can I squeeze more money from people and screw them
Accountability keeps everyone in check.

Change my view!

At HeyCoach (EdTech Startup),  we often find ourselves managing multiple responsibilities simultaneously. Is it advisable to achieve moderate results across all tasks, or should we prioritize fewer responsibilities to deliver exceptional outcomes?

There are news that massive layoffs are coming in Paytm. HR and Business Heads have been given targets - average 30% reduction expected across all teams. #bravenewworld

Massive Layoffs Coming - Paytm

Poor timing !! Festive season, Christmas/new year and these layoffs. 
   
 It's a remainder for everyone that companies won't even think twice before laying you off. So stop making any company your dream or glorifying it.

Hi, I am an intern, it's been 4 months, and I still panic when I get a new story, is there some kind of unsaid rule on how to approach a story or issue given ?

Thank you.

How to approach a story given!

Hey Viners, would like to know your prespective on the situation that if you face a bunch of incompetent colleagues who dont take their work seriously and the manager constantly asks you to maintain quality because of your seniority and you end up cleaning their work, how do you handle it ?

Few Incompetent colleagues

Create a toxic work environment for them that they leave themselves ☺️

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Hello everyone,

Saw quite some people doing AMAs on this platform from VCs to Engineers, but nobody from Founder's Office roles.

Knowing that this role is somewhat new in the job market, not many people still know a lot about it. Shoot your questions, would answer them to the best of my capacity.

Background: Worked in the FO role for 2 FMCG brands, before joining a Fintech where I am working right now. Graduated from BIT, Mesra in 2021, but started working alongside my graduation coz of COVID.

AMA - Working in Founder's Office from past 3 years.

Founder’s Office

1st issue:

It has been almost 2 years since I joined a company as a fresher. Got the increment twice but still have the same designation.

Planning to switch after the completion of 2 years, will it be a hit point that I worked in a company on the same designation for 2 years??

Should I ask my manager or head to think about changing it?


2nd issue:

I do financial+ market research, data analysis, and working on a product that is yet to launch (I know this product more that anyone, not a developer but did robust improvements in it, gave several solutions for it, can say that I'm unsung Product Analyst here).

Based upon the above task, what should be my designation?

Will it be too stress if taken instead of given?

Are responsibilities taken or given?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Note - I am a product manager too

4 out of 5 product managers will act all high and mighty of themselves, bragging their way as if they run everything going on in the company, flaunting their business degrees and being utterly disrespectful towards their team( dev design qa name it), 

Recently started going to office so the attitude I am seeing is very transparent and more visible (more with the higher experience folks)

It makes me wanna leave this hyper inflated role, thinking of I will end up like them scares me, and you have to do is speak out jargons in meetings day in day out and have a English accent of Shashi Tharoor.

Recently my manager told that this is a role where you have to very representable or very visible and act in floor as if you are the busiest person on earth and I seriously some PMs in company doing that, they walk so fast in floor as if they will fall off or would be better to have 4 legs.

I am done with this product management shit

Product Manager

I know this is not what majority of people like to listen, but for people coming from other cities with no friends and poor social skills, working remote or hybrid starts taking a toll on your mental health. 

The isolation it brings is so overwhelming. You feel trapped and frustrated, when there's no one to talk to.

Sometimes, I feel the quality of life of our kind of lower than street vendors at least they have people they can talk to. I just hate the way we are wired to be social animals yet find it overly difficult to connect with people.

Unpopular Opinion: I prefer Work from Office

If you are early stage of your career if you don't have responsibility at home you should come to office it's a healthy approach but for people like me who has already spend more than a decade in office life and has a small child at home working for home is like a saviour for me and my wife

Senior Engineer

I feel there is no light for this tunnel for many more months to come. 11150+ Applications for 1 Post. Can't imagine the level of competition.

11,100+ applicants for 1 Job, Is market really getting better as mainstream says?

Can anyone help me understand Wells Fargo Org structure? What does a “Project Manager” designation mean in the org hierarchy? 

I have received a very very vague description of the role I am interviewing for. Seeking inputs for prep.

thanks!

Anyone here from Wells Fargo?

Project Manager

I have been a little caught up with numerous things in my life lately and have finally found some free time to open up myself to new experiences. 

I had a wishlist of shows and movies that I wanted to watch but as soon as I start watching them, I get bored and feel like turning it off. 

No, its not the content
No, its not the genre
No, its not the actors
No, its not the taste either

This is pretty ironic as considering the fact that I have spent a fair share of my youth chasing academics and career, my heart had always craved for life experiences. I had to let go of the woman I loved simply because I was too focussed on my JEE. I wont be able to forgive myself for that EVER. It almost felt like I had lost a limb, without which , I would be rendered disfunctional. Thats a separate story tho.

Nothing excites me (yep nothing)
Nothing amuses me 
Nothing feels lively

I have no clue where my life is headed

I understand that as we age, our triggers of happiness change. I have put concious efforts into knowing what those new triggers are. But I cant find any plausible sources of happiness.

I am performing pretty well with my career.
Even got a double digit hike.
But didnt feel that kick of joy.

Have I approached a dead end?

Losing Interest In New Things

Data engineer

Posting again for better reach.

Hi, I'm working as a Frontend Dev for the past 3 years. Have good understanding and in-depth knowledge of things in JavaScript, React. 
Mentored folks/peers, cracked couple of offers from startups and other companies in the past. 
However, in my initial days I always wanted to be an ANDROID DEVELOPER, learnt Java, Kotlin Android Concepts till MVVM approach. 
Nowadays, as the Frontend domain is getting more cluttered, I'm thinking to move to Android domain considering the competition would be lesser there. 
Or start REACT NATIVE. 
Need some suggestion here. 
TIA

Switch to native Android development

Most of us here on GV are in the corporate boat. Some experienced, some new. I think most of us would not have dreamt of working in our jobs in childhood, and almost all of us landed into some role after our education and continued to grow after. While you continue to work for that next promotion or hike, when do you get the feeling of making it in corporate?

When did/would you feel you’ve made it?

When I don’t hate my job. That’s it. That’s my parameter.

Marketing Creative

What is the usual expectation from a staff engg in your company or org? I’ve seen folks at higher levels in my company being relegated to just system design, non functional requirements and managing people from tech side. My concern is losing touch with hands on coding. Is it true everywhere?
