TIL Eric Schmidt(ex Google) invests in the companies of women he sleeps with.

Saw this question on a really old AskReddit thread, and it made for a very interesting read. Learnt that Lancome is exact the same products at Loreal but 20% more expensive. But most of the things were US related. Got me curious what the Indian version would look like. Looking to learn some industry secrets, TILs, and more :)

Recently under a post, in the comments, I saw someone brag about how he has slept with every new junior in almost every quarter. In another post's comment, I saw someone say how every girl he has met has a higher body count, and one of his friends got divorced because she was sending nudes to her ex on Snapchat. Someone also bragged about how she has dated and slept with some guys from the different companies. Another comment I read a long time back said how he has a physical relationship with some of the 'hot chicks' of his company. And this is just grapevine, and I'm not even including all similar things I read on Twitter and Reddit, of people bragging about having high body counts and sleeping with multiple colleagues. I am a bit confused. Is having a physical relationship with your colleague(s) a common thing in the IT Industry? or am I missing something?

- Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google, retracted his statement blaming Google's remote work policies for its lag in AI development, expressing regret for his error. - Schmidt's initial comments were made during a discussion at Stanford University, where he criticized Google's work-life balance approach in the context of competing with OpenAI. - A video of Schmidt's talk, which was posted on YouTube by Stanford Online, has since been set to private at Schmidt's request. - Google and OpenAI have similar hybrid work policies, requiring employees to be in the office three days a week since 2022. - Schmidt's remarks align with other corporate leaders like Jamie Dimon and Elon Musk, who argue that remote work hampers company efficiency and competitiveness.

I am just speechless. Can't believe that this can happen.

I know sometimes we refrain from saying too much about our company. But exes can usually be talked about, since there's not much holding back. Maybe it helps someone else avoid a mistake you did, or gain a new learning :p Shoot.

Recently I was talking to a girl who was working a startup in BLR. She left the startup with some horrendous experiences. This startup was working from a startup hostel in BLR. Things she told me shook me. She was dating the founder. So this founder who claims to be on his 2nd startup dates his own employees and then blackmails them. The average age of his employees is 24. All these girls that he dates are not above 23/24 Apparently this guy has 2 court cases against him. One for fraud and one for a rape case. Both of them are not easily found online. He uses VC money to keep in under the hood. The fraud case is about his first startup which was a stolen idea apparently. This guy’s whole life is fake. He claims to be an IIT Madras dropout, but he's from some local college. There are rumours that one of the girls he dated tried to kill herself because he allegedly filmed them. He also does not pay salaries for months to his employees but compensates by giving them expensive gifts. He claims his parents are IAS officers but we checked and they are not. His last startup was around around AUTH and current one is around Fintech Girls and boys stay away from working with such shady startups.
