Yes that also is not cool... 
  
 Especially when the company wants immediate joiners for themselves.

Not able to get into HR rounds after doing well in technical interviews. 

Comp1: cleared 5 technical rounds.  They asked me to come in person for a particular date, informed me that date and time will be informed later. After a week got rejection mail. 

Comp2: Done well in the technical round. Profile was in process status  in the company portal for the last 45 days.  Today I got a rejection mail.

Share your employer toxic trait/policy.

I'll go first 👇🏻

- My employer hired me when it was Fully WFH, now they force me to join office after 8 months of joining.
- Attend 5 days/week
- No hybrid
- Biometric system to track attendance 
- Complete 180 hours in a month or pay cut
- No relocation support
- Less appraisal (~5%) citing market conditions.
- Removed unlimited leaves just a few days below announcing WFO.

FYI: I was named best employee for 2023 Q1

Toxic company traits

Software Engineer

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Instead of giving out the severance, they’re asking for resignation. 

And what’s worst is if you don’t resign they won’t give you experience letter and full and final settlement.

My friend who works at Classplus has been asked to resign

Founder

People in my organization recently went through performance appraisal and like every time, the manager does not reveal employees’ rating. This is most likely a scam as the employees are rated and the ratings are recorded in the system but not revealed. Is it how we have in other organizations? Add your comments.

Ratings not revealed during appraisal. A scam?

Software Architect

There is thread asking to vote for worst HR.  They are clerks. What is the worst thing they can do other than delay your final settlement.

What is " worst HR"?

Why HR recruiters won't let us know that we are not selected after an interview? They won't even reply to mails, lift calls or respond to messages

Software Developer

My cousin is joining this small (15 people) agency/startup and has been asked these

IMO Previous employer's offer letter and payslips are kinda sus?
Thoughts?

P.S. Offer letter has still not been processed

What should be shared and what not?

Question on documents before Offer Letter

What are the worst way you have saw which can be considered as Slient layoff techniques companies are using ?

Slient Layoff Techniques

Standard stupid Indian HRs. Asking to share screen and resign. If you don't resign threatening to withhold the experience letter etc. 

Yaay to our labour laws!!

Persistent Systems forcing employees to resign

DevOps Engineer

I have for the past couple of months gone through really pathetic and exploitative behaviour of the Indian companies (especially startups). 

> They ask to do extensive assignments, wasting a lot of time, just because they have an upper hand
> Then they completely ghost candidates with no response (most times) / delayed response

This is really pathetic. Lack of empathy just shows how immature and under-developed you are. If you ask someone to invest their time, you have the responsibility of timely and proper communication.

ALMOST ALL STARTUP HIRING MANAGERS AND HR TEAMS NEED TO UNDERSTAND THIS.

Even the hiring process of Indian companies is exploitative 😐

Expedia is set to layoff 1500 employees. Everybody is just laying off people giving any bullshit reason

Hats off to that grapevine Samaritan who mentioned to hold whatever job you have as things will only get worse this year.

Recruiter

Nowadays companies tend to take 5-6 rounds of interview and
One of my friends had gone through a similar procedure for 3 companies now- all into Fintech(one is a big MNC doing good and the other ones are startup) initially they moved forward with the CTC although they didn't have the budget and after 6 rounds of interview(5 general rounds and 1 to be more sure). 
I don't know how you cannot be sure of someone after 6 rounds of interview and why companies are not transparent about the CTC they can afford.
It has happened to a lot of my known SDEs including myself. 
Just wanted to vent out, just because of the ongoing market conditions, companies are troubling the candidates a lot.
Did you guys also have similar experiences?

A new trend going on... 💀

Microsoft is firing people with NDA signing that they can't disclose on LinkedIn or any where that they are fired

Which company got the shittiest employee policies - share your experiences with firm name

Program Manager

Got to know through my network that Brainly india has asked the entire team from their MD to all junior folks to go. Reason - sudden change in strategy.. they didn’t let the product even launch.. the team was in full swing prepping.. impacted folks 30+ or around that number.. within 6 months of hiring everyone.. while in the interviews they promised 5 years runway.. long term strategy for india.. ceo didn’t even apologise.. they come hire Indians and let go at the drop of a hat.. the employment contract said that either party have to give 3 months notice to resign.. so that’s what they did they are giving 3 months pay not in one go but month on month and after that nothing. No severance pay, no bonus paid to eligible employees, no help in finding jobs , no mental health support, medical finishes in 3 months.. in this time when hiring is on global freeze they have treated Indians like puppets come hire and fire when you want, they have money in bank account a runway for 18-24 months.. still they couldn’t hold on to india team.. heartless way of dealing with junior folks how will we find jobs

Brainly India - entire team laid off

Corporate catfishing? More companies are posting realistic job listings that don't exist. 

Companies doing this are trying to trick employees into thinking the company is growing and that they are hiring more workers to alleviate their workload. This is not only manipulative, but immoral. 

If you want to increase productivity and alleviate stress in your office, start by showing appreciation for your employees and encouraging them.

Share some companies you might know that have been doing this.

That job you applied for, might not exist !!

Senior Consultant

In an interview I cleared all my round and submitted all govt proof along with current company payslip etc as they demanded this. After one discussion they are saying we have got all your info they will think.
I mean which king of process is this? They wasted all my energy , 5 rounds .

HR wasted my time

Anyone who completes the whole workday apply process should directly go to 2nd round of interviews.

Kya Bawasir hai bhai ye 😂

Workday bullshit.

I am highly annoyed by double standards and hypocritic behavior of companies while hiring for Notice period.

Almost every company wants immediate joining or asap joining and they will definitely ask or encourage you to negotiate notice period, etc.

However they themselves would not have allowed a single employee to leave early or waive off notice period.

I sometimes feel to ask them, that i am sure the employee who's replacement or position i am being hired for would have also asked to waive off notice period, did you allow him/her? If no, then why do you expect another employer would do something different.

I mean, my current employer asked me to negotiate notice period when i was leaving my previous organization, now if tomorrow i resign, i know they won't waive off a single day.

If anyone else have good experiences, answers around the same. Please do share.
