What's a secret from a previous workplace you worked at? 🤫

Now this could trigger a few people
But 70 percent of employees in the entire company of 150 people were hired from a specific community. When we are in hiring team , we realised there was a unsaid biased ! No one talked about it and it still is on !

Not my workplace, but true story.

giant american retail company (assume it's W*) hires one giant indian IT services company (assume it's H*) for some maintenance work now this H* company has offload this work to small Indian IT services company (assume it's M*) which has a employee named R* who's one assigned to actually do the work but R* is smartass he's scouting internet for freelancer to fix the issues. He gets one junior guy P* to work for few thousand rupees and shares his credentials, vpn provider etc and our P* now messes up , in the whole scenario there's no safety lot's of mess total grey zone.

From knowing this incident, I'm like no one gives any fucks about anything, only if people weren't so bad.

Company used to ask it's marketing team to report bad glassdoor reviews of itself. They were able remove almost all of them, went from 1.5 to 4.5

We all knew our product didn't work from day 1. But it took the senior leadership about 1-2 years to learn the same through data.

If you spoke with even one person on the ground you would know. I'll not name the product but you;ve all heard of it before

Interns had 50k stipend mentioned in the offer letter. The company paid 50k but asked to send 40k back to the CEO account. Probably to siphon the investor money. Similar thing happened with employees too
