What will happen if the fired person fights back and refuses to sign the NDA 
You’re anyway giving only two weeks pay to there’s nothing much to lose really, so can’t I always say I’m not signing the NDA do whatever the fuck you can ?

Maybe they wont get even relieving letter etc. HR processes can make people helpless at times. There are people I know who have become stressed & haggard because of harassment but nobody really wants to challenge HR dept because they can destroy your peace

When will the undeclared Hire Freeze gonna end? Most companies have been saying they will fix an interview, and ask me dates as well. But the expected meeting email will never come. It's not about rejections, companies filter soley via expected salary in the first step.

In addition to this, companies arent preferring candidates who are ok to relocate as well.

FYI: Ive been looking for APM role for past 2 months. Fine with generalists roles as well. Appreciate with any leads.

Thanks

An HR from Infosys just contacted me on WhatsApp and asked about my details I told them I am comfortable talking on a call rather because I will explain better about my past job profile and other details and that shameless person showed attitude and blocked me.

HRs are worse than human beings and shameless they think people are there to satisfy their ego

Now why everyone is talking about benefits of working from office?
I saw post from Sunil Shetty on linkedin.

My take is, when pandemic hit companies asked employees to WFH to keep wheel rolling.
Now we know WFH can give greater control over personal and professional life(at least for me) we don’t want to go back to office.

In my opinion corporate want us to work from office cause,

- they can control our time, 9hrs in ofc, you are getting paid for time not skills.
- they want to show who is the boss here.
- Learning is key reason for WFO, bullshit, we have a lot of learning portals and traffic time can be used to learn but it is never a intention.

What you guys think?

WFH vs WFO

WFO- if you’re at entry level/early days of your career 
 WFH- works for mid- senior folks

Hey there Grapevine Community,

I've noticed a lot of chatter here about SDEs and PMs, so I thought I'd mix things up a bit.

I'm an HR Executive (aka Chief Happiness Officer 😁) at an early-stage startup, and I'm curious to hear from all of you.

What do you think are some innovative or unconventional strategies you've seen or experienced in HR that have really made a difference in your workplace?

Looking forward to your stories and ideas!

Cheers!

Shake things up!

I have heard people talking about bad culture in a company. I just wanted to know what exactly they mean by not a good culture? Is it micro management or no WLB or something else. Please give some examples and if possible with the company's name.(saw in some recent post on GV that Groww does not a have a good culture. A more detailed example would be much helpful)

What is "not a good culture" according to you?

CHRO and CMO at Freshworks have been shown the door. Employees were informed last evening. Surprised it's not out yet in public yet.

"Fresh" exits

I want to vent out on Indians HRs and the policy makers. Anyone would like to add to this?

Why are HRs adamant on dragging the whole company down.
Everything could be so great and perfect but then comes the HR 🤦🏼‍♂️. They have enough excuses to be stupid and everyone follows because some day they woke up and changed the policies as per their wish.
I hate them all !

I get a call from Accenture HR, asking if I will able to take interview on a weekday. I am busy on the said day, so I told can you schedule the next day. 
The lady literally cut the call. 
Seriously?! 
Is this a behaviour Accenture trains its HR on?
Then why even call?

From the last few days there were talks going on about layoffs in Morgan Stanley. Some 7% of the global staff will be handed over the pink slip in this week. 
Well... It started happening from today ... Few colleagues from my department were laid, and the reason being "company is trying to survive in the market, company is planning the road ahead by taking such bold steps".
When this was announced, my anxiety shot up the next level and I couldn't wait for the meeting to finish.
The past few years have not been great for the business worldwide due to which many companies are forced to take such steps. These companies just have been doing a hiring spree from the last 1-2 years that now they are regretting their decisions and letting off their employees.
My question is - "If a company hires excessively during the bull market and is forced to lay off few of the employees during the downturn, has the company made an error by not evaluating the headcount or it was just simply the need of the hour" 
 
Please note - I know many people out there who have faced job cuts due to many factors, sincerely requesting people to take this matter very seriously

Layoffs - A complete mess made by the companies

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!!

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

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. 
  
 New boss, new tune.

How is the culture at Navi? How is the culture for Product and Engineering teams?
