What are some of the mindless things that high funded startups do?

My first startup had a smoking zone where there was gramophone looking art piece where people used to dump their ashes. Later someone told me that it’s a Bluetooth speaker and no one cared to put it back after the party that happened two weeks back.

That was true culture shock.

Man, there was a startup which was offering employees salaries in crypto and many employees agreed to it too. Wonder what that money is today for employees

My company used to hold pizza parties for all the employees - be in office or wfh. We used be on meetings and have virtual team lunch and dinners 😂 Secondly, we had this nice office event every alternate Friday where various personalities used to visit office to sing and perform, do comedy shows, etc and everything was stream live for wfh people.

Wasn't that just a marketing stunt, with bond terms of 9-12 months tied to perks. With such toxic culture people used to leave within that time

Heard Ashneer’s take on this issue on some podcast. Basically he replaced the hiring agencies and directly reached out to the candidates and offered them the perks.
As per him it didn’t cost him anything as anyways he had to pay the firm for the recruitment.

Smart if you ask me.
