We already have 600+ members in our Swiggy private feed and it’s awesome. 🔥🔥

Are there that many employees left after the layoffs?

Product Owner

Don’t worry, the feed is used to rant only. No one is happy with the management. People are desperately looking for a switch just waiting for an opportunity.

I'm considering verifying my work email on here just to be a part of the company group. However I want to know if it's safe? Is there any way the company can then actually track us?

Product Manager

Was off grapevine for two days and seems like so much has changed. Okay I have questions 

1. If we verify our work email, isn't too much information being disclosed. Small company problems. 
2. Also how to verify work email, I cannot find any option 
3. Can we have a 'Grapevine' group, where we post all love and (hate) for the app. It will stay off Misc in that case

Consultant

I’ve recently saw a few accounts have the verified tick just like Twitter. Wanted to know what it meant. 

Are they employees of Grapevine or some kind of moderators ?

Is it a paid subscription and if so what does it offer ?

Is Grapevine offering verification ?

Assistant Manager

I am sure it's a work email verification badge(the blue tick). But only some of the users have it. How do I get that badge? Because I didn't get any option to verify my email!

I have seen many accounts showing verified here. But, I can't find any option in the app to mark my profile as verified.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Work culture has become ultra toxic. Managers have started nano managing and literally are a pain in the ass. Product giving unrealistic timelines and leadership agreeing on the same without even consulting the developers and even if the developers are raising concerns, no fucks are given infact they are made to realise that this is how a startup should work. Literally everyone is working their asses off and still unable to meet the deadlines. Empathy is completely lost and WLB is a sham. People including me want to switch but are not even getting time to prepare.

Rant on Swiggy wlb

This is all trickling down from the Leadership, they are trying to cut down costs by any means. Already had one round of layoffs, now they are doing silent layoffs in the form of PIPs. 
  
 Also, Leaders have lost the long term focus and are trying to find out more and more short term projects related to profitability.  
  
 There was always this pressure of work, but in the past 7-8 months this has become unbearable with no empathy in the organisation.

For me it’s a Reddit for corporates. There is no way I can authenticate anything which is posted. Does discussions on grapevine make any impact on your decision making about joining or not joining the firm?

Has anyone faced this issue? Tried flagging it but no response from the grapevine team.

Imagine a day when grapevine collabs with companies and provides them the access of user’s posts, comments etc.
Since grapevine has our corporate emails, company can trace us.

Thrilling vibes!!!

Can grapevine cheat?

I recently noticed that my company was switched from Blinkit to Zomato in the app.

And now when I try to join the internal Zomato channel, I can’t verify myself since I don’t have an @zomato.com email. All folks from Blinkit still have @grofers.com or @blinkit.com (alias) email.

Is it possible to make the app consider both email domains as valid for Zomato?

Verifying Blinkit email in Grapevine

Id love to see Grapevine create a catalogue of Grapevine approved verified anonymous accounts of detailed employee accounts of how good or terrible a company is. Think The Ken but filled with employee reports. But the style of writing leaning on the casual office gossip side. And the content saved in an archive and searchable. The biggest problem of course would be getting people to verify their identity to a Grapevine mod or writer may be tough.
Me personally, I’d love to talk to some writer about my experience at my previous businesses. So many scoops and insane stories!

(I dislike Glassdoor for the HRs infiltrating and BSing everyone)

There are news that massive layoffs are coming in Paytm. HR and Business Heads have been given targets - average 30% reduction expected across all teams. #bravenewworld

Massive Layoffs Coming - Paytm

Poor timing !! Festive season, Christmas/new year and these layoffs. 
   
 It's a remainder for everyone that companies won't even think twice before laying you off. So stop making any company your dream or glorifying it.

Hey Folks, Happy Friday!

We wanted to share what we've been up to, so you know what to expect from the app in the next 1-2 months. 

1. Bugs: We are hard at work trying to solve all the bugs that have slowly crept into Grapevine 😶

2. DMs: A polite way for users to take a few conversations deeper, and share referrals/resumes if they want to. A key worry for us would be to not make this spammy (like a few users pointed out on a recent post), while still staying helpful. 

3. Experience: A smoother, more fluid app experience coming soon

4. Moderation: As posts and comments on Grapevine increase in number - there's also a small 0.1% of users that sometimes post abusive/offensive content. We're taking these issues more seriously. We read every 'report' that you share with us and take action appropriately

5. Grapevine on Web (I swear the first build is super exciting - I'm typing this post out on an early version of Grapevine Web 😉). This should allow people to browse Grapevine while in a boring meeting 😂

6. Salaries: We're building something exciting for better salary information 💰

7. Verification: You may have seen some users on Grapevine are now verified with a blue check. Currently only launched for employees of 3 companies, we'll launch this soon for more companies. This is how we'll raise the bar on trust within Grapevine. And no, we never plan to charge for blue ticks like some other platforms. It's just a darn image ☑️

Please do keep sending your awesome feedback at us, as always! Cheers 🍻

Quick Update from the Grapevine team

Founder

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?
