What do you mean by TC or get the fuck out?

In every post that one makes, one must mention their Total Contribution. If they don't - then they need to GTFO.

Software Engineer

No, because not everything is about salaries. There are also people who are underpaid in this world, and posting TC on every post will increase more insecurity in them rather than solving any use case. The platform will get skewed in only people who are either earning good, or with people who are lying about their compensation so that they can post something.

Shall we start the culture of TC or GTFO on grapevine as well?  I mean that's what skyrocketed blind in the first place...

TC or GTFO?

TC or GTFO?- Grapevine

For people who aren't familiar with Blind, Grapevine is an Indian version of Blind. Both support anonymity and company tagging. One difference is that you can't sign up on Blind to post/comment without your company's email-id.

That said, Blind has this culture "tc or gtfo" which mandates that the post creator must attach their total compensation. 

It helps in multiple ways
1. When you post something, you expect something from the community. So sharing your TC is a way to help back.
2. It shows what companies are paying to what level. It helps all of us to negotiate better in our jobs/interviews.

What do you guys think? (Maybe not gtfo but something nicer).

Should we bring Blind's "TC or gtfo" culture to Grapevine?

On another similar platform, Blind, there are unspoken rules, one of which is TC or GTFO. As an OP, you are required to share your TC and YOE in your post; otherwise, community members may choose not to participate. This practice proves beneficial in understanding industry pay culture.

Why we don't have culture of TC or GTFO culture on Grapevine?

Which is best? Grapevine or Hood? Or something else?

Some friends and I are in Bangalore for 2 days (Friday and Saturday). Friday we'll be at JSConf India at Bangalore International Exhibition Centre and Saturday we'll kind of try to meet some people. Let's try to meet in these 2 days!

In Bangalore for 2 days, today and tomorrow. Let's meet!

After Software Engineers, Product Managers, Designers, Data Scienties, 'Founders' looks to be the 5th largest class of user. 

Welcome to Grapevine, y'all! 💪

1000 'Founders' are now on Grapevine

Founder

I recently posted about a small achievement in my career, I got an amazing offer post being laid-off and wait time of 4 months. Still few comments were “TC and GTFO” is this a Gen Z slang or they are unhappy that others are getting happiness in their life and sharing it here.

“Few” unhappy comments on my achievement

Senior Manager

Writing on behalf of my friend who was associated with this company

The actor Sonam Kapoor is married into a billionaire family. The husband runs an "ultra premium" clothing brand for elite, which just burns cash since launch but continues to exist.
The parent company funds this brand for it's lavish existence.

Though apparently, It is the best team one can be assigned.
Too many meetings with celebs rather than actual work, top glamour events to attend, internal or client parties every other day, coolest co workers (all young group)

P.S. Outsiders call it Bahane se chal raha brand (iykyk 😂)

CEO's kids pet projects do nothing

Generally fishbowl has too many service company or consultants kinda employees. Talking about content, it is high quantity and quality is degrading.

And there are too many posts so no one read them along with that only 1-2 comments on many posts. it's content is of no use at all.

I find fishbowl useless now and would not want grapevine to evolve at all like that. 
Views??

Grapevine should not evolve like fishbowl

I’ll go first.

To me, it’s all about access. 
Access to authentic ideas.

The best search result you get on Google is high SEO but low authenticity. On LinkedIn, there are so many people but everyone is shilling a course or 1:1 resume reviews. 

Mostly it has become a place which started as vanity signalling 

Like
( I have started a new role…, I have been accepted at …, I have received offers from F, A, N and G and I’m joining G.)  

And now people pushing mindless content with “Agree?” or “Comment Interested”.

Somehow, everyone is truly inauthentic to please a wider audience and say the exact same generic gyaan to maximise engagement.

For now, Grapevine is where people are genuinely themselves and I get to hear interesting things that you get to hear near the coffee machine.

Kinda feels like we’re all a big community where we all contribute and learn new things about the professional landscape around us.

Godspeed Grapevine. 🚀

Hola Grapeviners! I would love to know why are you on the platform?

Hello everyone! 

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 News Discussion's Private Community

At one time I had contemplated building an app like grapevine. i.e. blind for India. Kudos to Grapevine folks for executing on the idea and actually building it. There was one wacky idea I had which I'll share. Rest assured it's wacky. 

A company based/wide live chat for anonymous internal ranting. The dream was that the entire  company would chatting and voicing their realistic thoughts during a boring ass all hands meetings. 

Of course there are legal problems with this as chances are you might get sued etc etc also the problem of verifying people from an org without comprising on anonymity. 

Anyway let me know your thoughts. 
Cheers
