" Ye naukri mere l**** pe". Sometimes I cringe at absolute shitshow cult that a lot of startups are running.

Product Manager

Man this is so cringe. I feel like slapping the shit out of those founders

Product Head

This is illegal. Employees should file a case against the company.

Software Developer

Let's run a fundraiser to help these braindead so called Lnd founders get therapy and close the company and their life forever

The company is Cogoport. This is from The Morning Context article today. They also have a PMS where they get reduced salary if they get a rating of 1 or 2🥲

Indian prisons are more relaxed than this- Grapevine

Anyone has any views on this? The article says that Cogoport locks its main gates for eight working hours, no entry or exit is allowed beyond that. People take tea or deliveries through a fence. Who is this founder running a school in the name of a startup? 

https://themorningcontext.com/internet/the-batshit-crazy-workplace-of-cogoport

Is there anyone here from Cogoport who can shed more light on the toxic culture at the company?

VC Analyst

Why isn’t anyone discussing Cogoport on LinkedIn, the article didn’t get much traction. Why ?

Cogoport - No outrage on LinkedIn

Burning investors money with 0 Revenue product
Random Hiring and Layoffs
Other reason you can mention
Dirty Politics
Dirty Appraisals and Promotions
If i missed anything mention in comments 

So that our geeks will not join pathetic place and save atleast current job

Can someone from Ola help understand the internal policy on ESOPs offering? A friend is being offered a mid leadership role as a PM but with miniscule ESOPs (12L over 4 years 😅)

Ola ESOPs offer

Copying the following from a LinkedIn post, WTHH!!! 

- Office Gates being locked for eight hours.
- Tea, coffee, food parcels passed through a fence.
- Employees being told they shouldn't take many breaks
as they are being monitored through cameras. - Fixed salary deductions of 50% after joining

What the heck is the dumbass ceo thinking running the company like this?!

At least they're being honest about their expectations. I don't know what to feel, they recruit from campus though.

Reporting time in office My team has Daily Scrums at 9:45am. And if you don’t reach the meeting room by 9:47, it gets marked on a leaderboard. If you cross more than 3 times in a month,pay fine 100rs for 4th, 200 for 5th…

an angry employee deleted the whole GitHub organisation / repos of his company out of spite as he gets fired ;_;

This has affected the production servers as well.

what would be the repercussions for that employee for pulling off something like this.

This is absolutely meme material!! They declared that 75% of employees will work from home by 2025, and before even 2025, they reverted that and now claiming everyone to come to office all 5 days!! I mean not even Hybrid, but all 5 days!! News mentioning recent report of asking employees to come all 5 days-

TCS- From 75% to 0%, that was pretty fast!

Can't fault Milind Lakkad.  He has a new boss.

Does IT support have these kind of salaries!?!? Damn she was from tier 2 University

A friend of mine got placed in a company at Hyderabad for IT SUPPORT as fresher was shocked to hear her package was 14lpa!

Drop the one small thing that made you feel good today.

Often we look for “happiness” while we rush through life like there will be time later to pause and enjoy. Little moments should be cherished and enjoyed - makes the day to day more meaningful. 

Mine: 

1. 5 small red roses and 3 white roses in the balcony. Waking up to that felt good and makes me smile today.

2. 5 minutes in the balcony and the morning sun. therapeutic!

What made you smile today?

An important meeting cancelled. Woke up to the cancelled invitation on my email.
