Vs. breaking into tears now :/

This is infuriating. I feel it took a lot for BYJU's to become so big. But 'breaks into tears' is just them finally internalizing how deep the screw up is (Link in desc of a few months back)

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

It's getting dirtier by the day and sure some orgs are still up to their dirty tricks.

The models:
- Appraise and then Lay Off: Why bother putting bandaid on a stab wound? Anyways the folks are going to fight how to answer the ..why were you laid off war, and now you are adding another twist.. why were you appraised and then laid off?
- Low appraisals to force quit: Undervalue them so they leave on their own. It’s a leeches way to cut costs. Kill morale 100%. Severance penny spent $0.
- Trap them in PIP: Dress it up however you want - very very few escape this death sentence.
- Silent treatment: No assignments, No meetings. Watch them spiral into anxiety and leave to save their sanity.
- Workload overload: Drown them in work until they break. No need for layoffs list until they make it to your collapse list first.
- Strategic reorg: Re-organize them out of existence. Offer a demotion or a proxy role in a random team that you know they dont want as an alternative. 
- Sudden policy changes: oh! I have seen so many I can't keep up with this one. 
New policies that make their life hell. People leave to escape your pettiness.
- Mandatory relocation: Demand they move to an undesirable location. Then you treat remote employees like outsiders. Exclude them from key projects, conversations until they feel like foster care kids, second-class citizens. You know the outcome from there on.
- Use the "Culture Fit" excuse: Call out how they’re not a culture fit. Vague, unchallengeable, and forces them out without severance.

And don't sell me "the org has got to do what it has got to do to survive" line. I don't buy that
If you have seen this being done, I understand your silence, but I don't value it.
If this has been done to you or someone close to you, I am sorry. Orgs and the people failed you. 
We could be 1000x better than what we are operating as.

dirty tricks played by orgs to Lay Off employees

Human resource

See a lot of talk about Tier 1/Tier 2 etc 

What do Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3 really mean? What are the origins of these titles. Is this something that the colleges started doing or this is something HRs started doing?

What does Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3 really mean?

Software Developer

Freshers impacted in software/product and data science profiles. Day 1 company in all colleges. Placement season is almost over everywhere and now these students are without a job just days before their joining date. No severance too unlike layoffs. 

Used to pay a lot though, 30 lakhs base salary for SDEs and 15 for product analysts after taking gruelling overnight interviews.

Heard internally there struggling a lot which is reflected in their stock price which is halved from 2021 despite a bull run in US tech companies in the same period.

Note to anyone thinking of getting into sprinkr(obviously in future cause they showing middle finger now): join only if you want to work like a donkey in exchange of lots of money.

Sprinklr revoked 150+ offers accross IITs, NITs, BITs and other tier 1 colleges.

Product Manager

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

Without giving out too much info, I'm a tier 3 student but I'm in a program funded by one of the MAANGs in which there are other sophomores from tier-1 colleges. 

Keeping various bonus and side effects of such a competition aside, I really wanted to have a career in cybersecurity...but, seems like I am not made for it(tried for 1.5 years :/)

I am starting out in cloud now, I'm working towards my first AWS certification. 

Question: Somehow I still feel not guided enough, my peers from that program get many on-campus opportunity, while i just get a referral to one of the MAANGs that fund it. I feel like i should really first focus on my DSA more than even cloud.

What should I spend my second year on, DSA - to get internship, or cloud/open source?

Tier-3 dilemma - a sophomore

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I currently work in a project that is driven by CEO and he is very intimidating. I work my ass off to make sure he gets what expects but today he was especially aggressive during the call. After the call I asked him to wait up for two mins and started telling him that I am getting intimidated by him. Although he was nice to me when I confronted him, now I am feeling embarrassed because I broke down a little when I spoke. Tears started flowing and I am feeling like a weak person. Just fyi I am an adult male.

I ended up breaking down in front of my CEO

Trust and Safety

I actually believe in a better India from the bottom of my heart where individuals who were not able to crack top tier colleges (IITS/IIMS/BITS) at a young age can still succeed in life on a comparable level, even when it comes to startup culture and raising funds.

Everyone of us has seen their seniors struggle to raise funds just because they are not from prestigious colleges even when they have supplementary skill sets and I personally would like to break that mindset and would like to be PARTIAL towards products if they are built by NON-PRESTIGIOUS college alumni.

I personally want to promote billions of dollars worth of businesses in India with alumni from every hardworking and smart working background and not just for the so called top colleges which only pushes unnecessary competition resulting in nothing but results equivalent to a lucky draw.

I am biased because I believe indians need it to feel secure for starting their own venture one day and everyone should try with confidence that their product will speak more than the founder's name.

Everyone deserves better

I will not use Paytm if VSS quits

Looking for genuine and non diplomatic answers since it will be anonymous. It is upto you to reveal the name of the company you resigned from.

Lets discuss!!! I will go first -

I quit my last organisation (a famous UPI company) in 2020 because, they still are in old technology. No cloud computing, no kubernates, no terraform. Their entire baremetal infra are in 2 DCs (Mumbai and Bangalore). Leadership ideas are outdated. I was very much bored and looking for a change.
