Feels like emojis were made by my manager

Come at me, I'm not scared. There is a reason why FAANG engineers are top-rated VS some random startup engineer. Here are the reasons why I think that Indian Startup culture is pure cringe: 1. The random use of the following emojis- 🚀💰📈📊💡 2. Fake enthusiasm for every little thing - "Wow! 25M people ordered condoms WOWOW!!!🚀" 3. Claim that you are a verb("company name"): "I am a (Zoman, Flipster, Swiggster or whatever)" but no one really knows about it outside of your company. 4. The HR is a proper softie in the name of Employee wellbeing but will end up being a sadist the moment layoffs happen. 5. Think hard if you really want to work in a place that is your LinkedIn feed on Steroids.

Thank God! We have Grapevine ❤️ because LinkedIn makes me 🤢🤮

Lately I have been getting a lot of DMs from TA from various companies on linkedin. They would start the conversation with something like “We are really impressed with your profile and work you are doing …” Then they proceed to ask for contact details and resume and then they just vanish out of thin air. It’s not that I have a bad resume because whenever I start to actively look for a job I get interview calls right away from actual HRs who are hiring. Is this some shady practice that TA people have been following to build their roster/database for different job roles that they frequently hire for.

I think DrinkPrime is the worst designed app that also does not work when I am trying to recharge it...

What made it worst? The pay, the culture, or your manager?

Recently, a friend joined a bank. He was late to office a few times. To “teach him a lesson”, manager “changed his desk”. When he asked the reason for this, manager said “this is your punishment for coming late to the office”. I mean, is this school-level micromanagement rampant in your org as well?
