Brokerages are such a joke
PS: Share price is 4800. So, instead of being worth 33% yesterday, today it should be worth 115%

What's the clownery?

Business Analyst

The funniest shit happened at the office today. I was at my desk after lunch, vibing to "Like That(Remix)" by Kanye West and writing some test cases for this CI/CD I am setting up for a new feature. 

My friend calls me up and says that there is a BlinkIt parcel that I need to collect from the front desk. I'm like Bro I am busy right now. He says it's an emergency. I am like Okay.

So, I collect it from front desk and now he asks me to bring it to the WC. I am like bro wut?? 
He's like he needs it ASAP. So I oblige lmao.

I come to know that he has ordered Track Pants from BlinkIt because he shit his pants. Apparently, he had some street food yesterday and his stomache got upset. He had an in-person meeting and he wanted to leave for washroom because of his diarrhea. But he couldn't because he was presenting. Unfortunately, by the time that meeting got over he ran towards the WC. Yet, he was too late and ended up ruining his pants. 

This might be the funniest shit I have experienced. My private group on Teams is blowing up lmao.

Someone just 💩 in their pants in the office...

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Let me go- 
Coworker who used to lie a lot and spread rumours. Like they'll make up a story in their head, and start telling random things. Once she pinged everyone saying that I got engaged, and I suddenly started receiving texts in company groups 🤷🏾

What are some of the worst habits of your coworker?

Nothing major, but this bothers me a lot!

- Fun at work is necessary.
- We all must laugh, crack all types of jokes, silly ones, nerdy, matured and some good ones too.
- Taking joke on yourself is also a sense of humor.

That said, cracking a silly joke with the intention of showing cool or smart is not funny. Some people are in continuous pursuit of getting browny points and they pretend to be funny & cool. They are under the illusion they are smart.

Do you have anyone like this in your team?

What's your most embarrassing moment in your office

Was sharing screen for internal call when I zoned out and started texting my girlfriend on screen

Chief of Staff

Am I the only one who likes working from office (Bengaluru)? I go to office every day, and it helps me to be more productive.

- There will be no distractions
- Team mates will be around, and if there is any queries, I can straight away ask them rather than typing a message or setting up a call
- Occasional chit chats
- Having lunch together
- being a part of all the conversations happening
- Managers works from office - a good rapport with him as well

- Free food
- Free Transport (can mates - another plus point)
- Good work set-up

- Meet new people almost every day
- Build/deepen real connections every day
- Interact with folks starting from entey level to senior directors or VPs regularly (L1 - L9 is the range mentioned here)


FYI: I moved to Bengaluru for work, although I've the option to work completely remote. 

One of my team member even mentioned that he has not yet been able to connect with the team member who has joined before me, like how he could connect with me.

I understand that once people have family, it will be difficult to manage everything. One of my team mate actually mentioned that, he used to do/manage everything properly before Covid, but it's kind of not easy/lazy since Covid.

I also realise that not everyone has the above perks, but still. 

Commute can be an issue. I travel 50+ KMs every day to and fro. I start by 7 am in the morning to morning traffic, and take around 75 minutes in the evening (I can survive the traffic without having to use my mobile 😂)

I do miss my family frequently, but I do have the flexibility to go home and stay a few days when I want. Staying alone in a service apartment is the only disadvantage as of now.

I see a lot of girls today have this condition of not staying with in-laws after marriage. I want to know the opinion of both genders on this. As I myself don’t understand what difference it makes. 🫠

Hey fellow grapevine friends, let me share a hilarious tale of my recent job interview rollercoaster ride! So, picture this: I chanced upon interviewing for one those new age alternative fintech firms, feeling like a boss, acing every interview level with flying colors. The interviewers were practically showering me with positive vibes about the role and the company. I was on cloud nine!

But hold on to your seats, folks, because things took an unexpected turn. After the initial warm reception, it suddenly went colder than an iceberg. I waited eagerly for responses from the TA team, but all I got was radio silence. Not even a peep. It was like they vanished into thin air!

Now, I wasn't keen on pestering the hiring manager, but desperation got the best of me. I decided to shoot them a message, hoping for some answers. And guess what? They hit me with the most mind-boggling news ever – a hiring freeze! Can you believe it? Talk about bad timing, right? I must have brought some serious jinx along with me.

As if that wasn't enough, I then discovered something straight out of a conspiracy movie. I noticed that the TA team's LinkedIn profiles had that same little green circle, indicating they were open to work.. But wait, there's more! A bunch of ex-employees and other members of the team also had that eerie green circle. What on earth was happening here? Are they secretly communicating in some LinkedIn language that mere mortals like us don't understand?

Oh well, my friends, the job hunt can be a wild and wacky adventure, full of unexpected twists and turns. But fear not, for I am armed with resilience and a great sense of humor! So, with popcorn in one hand and my resume in the other, I shall continue my quest to conquer the job market. While also finding the anomalies of the start up world. Here's to embracing the unpredictability and staying positive on this crazy journey! Cheers to the next chapter of my job hunt! 🍿🚀

From fintech hopes to deep freeze: My epic interview saga

Operations Manager

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I earn a decent living ~32LPA as a Software Engineer. I really enjoy my work and it is always a joy working with smart people around you. 

I sometimes wonder if I didn't exist would it matter in the world. At work, I come up with great ideas and insights which my peers appreciate and support, but there hasn't been one thing that they took seriously and moved ahead with. 

My peers around me constantly belittle me, some unprofessional jokes about my competence and intellect, even though I am actually good at what I do and more. 

The backhanded compliments and sarcastic replies in front of other people in my company makes me sad beyond belief. It is almost like I give so much of time to this company and although everyone cares about the work I do but no one cares about me. 

My colleagues constantly try to one-up themselves by bullying juniors and laughing in their glass-walled conference walls. 

Incidents like these make me want to give up on work. I think the mix of giving all of myself at work(intensity and long hours), constant berating on my competence and the time I spend away from my family and "real" friends(not these fake work colleagues) makes me depressed as fuck. 

I am now understanding that you can never be happy in life because you can never have all that you want. You will give up something for the other. You think making more money will make you happier but you will just end up losing your sanity.

You can never be happy

Hang in there, friend. I can assure you that you can find happiness in the workplace. What you're experiencing is common but definitely not the norm. There are many places out there where people are decent and you wouldn't be treated so pathetically. I hope you find the opportunity to move out and cut yourself off from the vile people at your present employer.

Hello folks, 

Hope you've all been well. It's been some time since we did this, so thought of starting a watercooler :) 

To people who are new: 
Welcome to the watercooler: the place for any conversations that feel a bit small to create a dedicated post. Manager acting weird today? Ended up being really late to a meeting and got angry looks? Need show recommendations? This is probably the place for it. 

Look forward to hearing from you all :)
