Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I added Byjus in my profile to get the sneak peak of lafda(s) going on in the company. Turns out no-one is left in the company to post anything now and I'm locked with this company title for 6 months.

I've not even interviewed for Byjus. 

Michael bhai 100-200 le lo par ye tag hatwa do!

P.S - I never agreed to the warning/notice of 6 months lock in. Still it was added to the profile. Bug hai check krwa lena!

Mishtake ho gaya Michael bhai, update krwa do!

Hey guys,

I'm on notice period and I left my job because of the bad conditions and unhelpful team and messed up mental health. I have 2 months notice which started 3rd july

I wanted to know can the company do anything if my performance in notice period is bad. Basically if I get the work, I'll try to deliver but 8 won't be messing up my mental health if I'm not able to deliver.

I plan to simply say that, sorry i tried but I'm not able to figure it out. If someone helps me its fine and if not then I'll continue to say it.

Can the company do anything if I keep a good behaviour and not deliver tasks.

Performance in notice period

Tech team in gurgaon office thrown out and office laptop seized by the Incuspaze space partner due to payment issues. Employees are being asked to work from home even without a company laptop.

Pls share if anyone has some new information on the issue or about BYJUS in general.

‘Most overvalued unicorn’ You have any idea how little that narrows it down 😂

Another startup that could have been something had it not been for the bull market and Tiger investing unnecessarily. Over $66Mn raised, and now it's over.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

"BYJU’S grew considerably since our first investment in 2018, but, over time, its reporting and governance structures did not evolve sufficiently for a company of that scale. Despite repeated efforts from our Director, executive leadership at BYJU’S regularly disregarded advice and recommendations relating to strategic, operational, legal, and corporate governance matters. The decision for our Director to step down from the BYJU’S Board was taken after it became clear that he was unable to fulfil his fiduciary duty to serve the long-term interests of the Company and its stakeholders."

This is major - Prosus just publically said that BYJU's had improper governance and failed to improve despite their recommendations

Largest shareholder saying this publicly, I wonder if there is any way of recovering from this point

Around 200 fired across several departments, mostly tech and analytics.

Layoffs at Navi

It announced fundrise from peakXV (previously Sequoia).

From what I can deduce, they diluted a bit too much. But, I hope that the founding team makes a good one from this!

Cheers Michael bhai!

Badhai ho grapevine!

Hey Folks, 

Our goal with Grapevine was always to build "Every company's Private Watercooler"

We've made significant progress along this goal recently. 
We're now live for 185 companies! 

From top Startups to FAANG, Goldman to Axis, EY to Deloitte - if you work in a 500+ people company, it's probably live for you 

Check it out now. If you haven’t selected your company - then do so by visiting the ‘You’ tab

We're still at the very beginning of making this work, and a few spaces might feel empty for a few days (I know a lot of them are already booming!). But do join in, explore, and get your colleagues over! 

If your company group ends up becoming big enough, it'll be very fun, very soon. I PROMISE! 

PS: You'll automatically see the company tab at the top (next to Home). If you don't see it yet, we promise you probably will, very soon!

Thanks for indulging us in our little joke. Have a nice day :)

Happy April’s fools!

Thank you so much @BladeRunner007 - the Salaries product (third tab on Grapevine)  is the hardest we’ve worked on anything since the Grapevine home feed itself.  
People, please use it and give us feedback. We want to make the best shit we can to help

Have worked in edtech, crypto and fintech, been through layoff (as an intern 😀), got multiple offers within 10 days of being laid off, got the PPO denied from one while got the PPO from the other.  Have seen founders with half a billion of funding boast about their culture and seen them layoff 120 folks the very next month.

Yes, its nothing compared to what the very well experienced folks on this platform have seen and experienced and gone through, but it's honest work :)

So ask me anything 😀

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I am and Android application developer with 10 years of experience. I am working in Tech Mahindra since 2017 Oct. 

They are paying me just 9LPA , paying 18 approx to new joinees with half of my experience. 

Management assured me that my salary would be revised but it didn't. 

I am sad about what happened to me.

Suppose if you feel that you are being considered for a job or you get that sense of sure selection by the org, and you have no much proper information about the org in the internet. Will you find current working employees of that same company on LinkedIn and slide into their DMs to know about the org, team, ceo?

Hello folks - I recently completed 10 months at Grapevine, and wanted to write a public shoutout to my boss @Micheal_Scott

What stood out the most for me is the general empathy he has shown. 

I have a leg injury now, but previously used to be really excellent at playing hockey.
One day @Micheal_Scott got slightly angry at something I said (I was just trying to make him aware of DM bug) and he broke my leg into pieces with my hockey stick.

But out of a strong heart, he immediately took me to the hospital and put a fake leg on me. 

Comment "Kudos" if you appreciate @Micheal_Scott.

Completed 10 months at Grapevine. A word of appreciation for @Micheal_Scott.

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Heard from a junior today that one of the consulting firms is delaying their joining from August to January 
This is in line with what most other firms have done as well (MBB). 

I saw the email as well, and the lack of any empathy was alarming. It literally said "We are delaying your joining from to Jan because of changes in training plan" and that we feel this is in your best interests.

I get that business would be tough, there are probably not as many cases right now, and hence they are doing this.

A) It is screwed up to break commitments for your joining date, just because you don't see as much demand around the period. These students are literally pumped about their first job, and to start off like this is just sad
B) At least if you are doing the above, have the courtesy to explain the proper financial reason behind it

Overall, really sad to see what graduates this year are having to go through, it's just random.
