What do I say. In pure tears- Grapevine

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

The arrogance just a few months back: https://youtu.be/4erSfOlKvhA?t=222
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 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

Initially I was not sure had a convo with parents whether to take it or not. After discussing all this, finally when I said I'm gonna accept my mom broke and started crying. (Cause I'll leave for mum then) 

In dilemma what to do? 
Not sure if right forum to ask

Hi, I’ve been feeling a lot overwhelmed lately and haven’t been able to cry (watching Tamasha on the week didn’t work either). I wanna know when and why the last time you broke down.

When was the last time you broke down?

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.

Guys, I've been watching matches alone since my childhood but I've never enjoyed it as much as I did this time. This year, again I watched all the matches by myself in my room, but thanks to Grapevine, I never felt like I was actually alone. I was watching on TV while replying and posting on Grapevine. It felt like I was watching it with all of you.

Huge shoutout to @Micheal_Scott for the platform. Thanks to @BiryaniEnthu for all those amazing match threads. And to all the others @TheOatmeal @lord_ @Careermode @samosa @AlphaGrindset etc. for your commentary. Special thanks to my brother @GallonMusk, your predictions were always on point. And that biryani is on me 😂.

@IntrovertBeing next World Cup, remind me and I'll get you that blue jersey.

Enjoy, guys, we finally won it! 🇮🇳

We Won, Thank You Grapevine

Never buy an iPad, Airpods or Apple watch in india. These products do not have any service in India. Only replacement is offered. One of my friends had an iPad (bought for 55k). It had type-c charging. But the charging pin got damaged. The only solution they offered was replacement which cost around 44k (since the iPad was not in warranty). We asked them to fix it but they mentioned that they do not offer repair services on iPad, AirPod and Apple watch. My friend even sent the iPad for pickup service. It was taken to Bangalore and they said the same thing.

The guy is still crying in the corner😐

Did anyone else face the same issue?

Do not buy iPad, Airpods or Apple watch
