Is there any gossip floating around in grapevine DMs

Last Friday I went on a date with a girl from Gurgaon and it was the biggest mistake of my life. I was apprehended by her brother's friend at Ambience Mall. How? We were having a milkshake from Keventer's where some guy randomly pops out and starts enquiring about what we were doing.

The thing escalated and he said he will call police. I got scared. Then he motioned for someone, and that guy started misbehaving with us as well. It was becoming very stressful and I asked , "Tum chahte kya ho?" He was like, "Mhaare doston ko bhi thoda Milkshake Wilkshake pilao bhai." (Get milkshakes from KLeventers for our friends too). I was like, "Huh?" He demanded cash and said that he will get it himself. I gave them all cash I was carrying, some 2500 rupees and ran away. I think the girl was in on it too.

What should I have done?

Regret going on a date with a Haryanvi girl 👫🏻 ...

I don't think you could have done anything different. 
  
 But consider this as a narrow escape and from the next time please be extra careful when going on a date.

What's the craziest reason someone got fired?

Here's mine at my previous job. A collegue of mine was fired for smoking weed in the bathroom. He got back to his laptop and he was high as fuck, I am pretty sure he didn't even understand why he was getting fired.

[Thread] How did you get fooled today? Drop your stories as the day progresses.

I was reading news continuously for half an hr and keep on clicking on news headline. 

I reached to a page where it says, an Infosys founder explaining how they have built an Algo trading platform which will make you rich. From the 1st look, I thought it could be real but NO. 

This is what I understood ↙️

Business model: Investor add approx 20k and platform will start an automated trading in Crypto, taking mostly the winning deals so that capital increases everyday. 

To find the reality, I registered and got a call where executive explaining how Mukesh Ambani has announced this platform. MUKESH AMBANI? This was the 1st hint of a scam. 

Then she asked to screen share for helping me to put money. I was like call me in 1 hr, in the meantime I tried to report this on cybercrime site. 

This is what I found in the news later on https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/narayana-murthy-warns-about-deepfake-video-of-him-endorsing-trading-apps/article67641003.ece/amp/

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Hi community,
Recently I have been mugged by the hero vired of my hard earned INR 12k. I enrolled in one of their courses some time back paying a registration fee of 12k. As I was not super interested at the beginning, sales guys started pursuing me very hard by giving discounts/scholarships (for already overpriced courses). 

When I was still not getting convinced, they offered the program director and alumni connect to help me make the decision but only if I pay the registration fee which they made refundable (which was on paper non-refundable)

This is an INSEAD course and the conversation was done on a recorded line so I didn't take it as a red flag, only to find out later that they have blatantly refused to refund the money. They even refused that the fee was refundable and said that there was no phone call even after I showed the proofs of the call.

I had a month long discussion with them where they conducted a completely bullshit audit and their senior management (including CEO) also didn't respond on escalation. 

Recently, I was informed by the INSEAD panel that they have changed the management in Hero Vired and asked me to join now as I won't get a bad experience again. While I refused to join them, I thought I'll let the community know of the deep rooted culture of disservice at Hero Vired and warn you against joining their cohorts.

Don't get into their FOMO sales pitches and sweet promises, they won't comply with you as soon as you pay them.

I am not the first one with such experience. Check their google reviews.
