Fading glory: A company that couldn’t sustain its excellence

There was a time swiggy was known for good leadership. Where are all those good people? I see PIP, depression, harassment, layoff posts from Swiggy off late. What’s is going on?

I work with Swiggy and as many of you already know the culture has become extremely toxic in Swiggy. Expectations of working 12-16 hours per day, be available on weekends, play dirty politics, blame other to save yourself , get really really aggressive, all of this with a constant fear of losing your job. The leaders are saying this culture change is required to achieve high growth targets for IPO. They say a culture like this is required to raise the bar & keep people on their toes. But looking at Byjus it appears that this may help in the short run but eventually things fall apart. Employees are human resources not machines. But these toxic leaders don’t really care, as there is always some people available to replace the previous lot who left due to the toxicity. I really hope the leadership of companies like Swiggy open their eyes & realise this before it’s too late for their business. And people who are considering to join Swiggy. BEWARE. This isn’t the place it used to be. People have left within 1-2 months because of this culture. And nearly EVERYONE is looking out to switch.

I think the current phase in my life is the lowest I am already PIPed by swiggy and I have broken up with my gf. Feeling like my life has reached the end. Can't sleep at all specially after the break up. Now I regret for blocking her atleast I should have waited until getting into some company. But now I don't want to go to her due to some personal reasons. It feel sucks. I am not able to focus on interview preparation. I am not in depression but my mental health is shit right now and gets headache daily. Please help me shall I consult some doctor for this or is this okay. I don't have much friends that's why I am asking here I genuinely need help

Hi folks I just wanted to know how the senior analyst role at Swiggy is in terms of quality of work, growth, wlb and anything else. Put some light on this🙌🏼

Is Swiggy in trouble? Every time I try to order they are either delayed or don't have any delivery partners. There seems to be some ops issue. Doesn't seem to be as reliable as it used to be 2 months back.

VC here. Doing this for fun. Don't take all views seriously.

Anyone know if others are also facing the same?

Took a solid month to decide on this because I did not want to give up my official mail ID. Thankfully, my colleague invited me using their passcode. And damn, this is too fucking good. The best of constructive discussion vs internal gossip. 😂 When the value became apparent to me, I was like damn, I gotta get in permanently, so obviously decided to go ahead with my email verification. I got no clue if other companies have got this but it seems like a clear no brainer that if you’re not already in it then you’re missing out on some really juicy conversations, especially around layoffs. Anyone else who joined their company’s private feed? And how is it?
