Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

Is anyone aware of anymore layoffs in Gojek. Please also share source of information

Next layoffs in Gojek

Who doesnt have off today?

Graphic Designer

It's Friday the 13th. That's supposed to mean something.

Anyway... Welcome to the Friday Watercooler people.
The place for any conversations that feel a bit small to create a dedicated post. Manager acting weird today? Friday and weekend plans? Need movie/game recommendations? This is probably the place for it. 

Look forward to hearing from you all :)

Friday Watercooler - 13th October

Intern

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

It's finally friyayyy y'all 🌻

Was watching this guy predict bad things after lunar eclipse (that happened last week)

Exactly day after that, train derail, blast in Kerala, people burn NCP office etc (and few upsets in personal life too)

The coincidence was too uncanny

He also mentioned 3 months of extreme warfare - Middle East already burning, US and Afghanistan will also get involved.
US is still obvious, Afg is new. This is interesting to see unfold

i'm not superstitious but this is scary

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I have seen so many posts, on Grapevine alone, of how people are being harrassed and traumatized in their companies. And honestly, reading all those posts and comments scare the hell out of me because I haven't been subjected to or witnessed anything like this.

Let me share the experience I have had till now:

I have ~2 YOE, and Capgemini is my first company. I know the pay isn't great, but that's the only thing I don't like about the company. 

The people I have met or worked with in the entirety of my time here, they are supportive, kind, and considerate. Every single one of them, including the managers/directors. They don't expect you to work late hours or on weekends, unless there are critical escalations/important deadlines.

My manager gives out words of thanks and appreciation, even on the smallest of things (yes he talks strictly too, and usually I am at the wrong when this happens, nothing major though). I get all the support that I need. I don't have to worry about the work life balance.

I have never had a single issue with a teammate, and most of them are seniors whom I work with. No big egos, no attitude, nothing. They help out whenever I reach out to them.

And it is the same story on my client side as well. 

I have worked/interacted with both male and female leaders, and all I have ever seen among everyone is empathy, respect for everyone's work, and always ready to help nature.

I understand that this is all just my experience, but my reason for writing this post is to share a positive experience and that there are still good people around here.

Maybe I am the odd one out (on the happier side)

Here is something I can tell you about bias. It is human nature to be very emotional and complain when things are bad and not talk about it too much when things are good.  
  
 Forums like Grapevine and Blind are filled with unhappy posts because of this reason. Most people complain when things are bad. Hardly anyone praises when things are good. For every bad post you see here, I am sure people are out there having a good time at work.  
  
 Treat this with a pinch of salt and live out your career, you only have one. Don’t be bogged down and settle because you are scared of the unknown.

Product Manager

Weekend plans?

Hey everyone,
It's Friday.

What this post is: a place to hang around and chat just about anything - without having a specific topic to discuss.  
Think of it like the watercooler at your office.  
 
Look forward to hearing from you all :)

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

PAYTM Payments Bank essentially asked to shut shop. 

Afaik here are the few implications
1. Stock market will react in a bad way to them
2. Worst affected are going to be FasTag users who bought from PayTM.
3. No deposits / credits allowed in any account. Withdrawal is allowed. 
4. UPI not allowed after Feb

Paytm gets a shock from RBI

That stock is about to crash so fucking hard. Thank god i got out. The crappiest IPO of this decade.

Growth Manager

Hello people, 

Nearing the end of the week now! Thinking I'll prepone Friday evening plans to Thursday evening for good measure. 

Welcome to the watercooler: the place for any conversations that feel a bit small to create a dedicated post. Manager acting weird today? Ended up being really late to a meeting and got bad looks? Need movie recommendations? This is probably the place for it. 

Look forward to hearing from you all :)
