Same.
It was during switch, I got the offer & had to resign from the toxic job, but didn't knew how and when to. Earlier resign would mean I have to pay money & everything.
People suggested me to resign immediately, and how to frame it. I did.
It cost me some money, which was a really big deal back then, but as they suggested - down the line it won't matter. And it didn't. I got positive balance in a month or two..!
And other instances aren't specific to one comment or post, rather comments scattered here & there.
For instance once somebody wrote a comment - what we should look for in a partner in a marriage setup or someone who is 35+ writing about their experiences or some unique apps to try which I've never heard of and stuffs like that..
But I definitely know what I don't like - Mindset of the people here. Not everyone. But a lot of them. I must admit I had better expectations after the first few months, but nowadays it doesn't feel the same..
I'll share mine. I had been on Grapevine for couple of months till I was in between switching jobs. My boss' boss wanted to see the offer letter befor approving the notice period, which felt wrong but I wasn't sure. (It was my second job switch)
So I typed out a post here, asking what should I do. Luckily he went for lunch so I got additional 30 mins.
The people unanimously warned me against it. Tell him any excuse than showing offer letter.
So I went and told him, I'm not comfortable sharing. Surprisingly he was okay, so just testing the waters 😒
Grapeviners saved me that day.
P.S. I had requested for earlier release 8 day before the official NP
I have been on grapevine for some months now and this is the best community building app I have ever seen I can talk my heart out and the people here actually come out to support and share their journey and experiences as well. Hats off ...
How did you come to know about it? What made you download it? And why are you still using it?
Building anything in social is so hard. I want to know how they got the users.
Saw a post about a year ago from one of the LinkedIn Influencers on how a person achieved $ 1M NW. Grapevine users...
Visiting the app, seeing posts from across topics by people who are sort of mostly like-aged feels very very good
Its even better for people who are a bit shy and find it hard to converse irl!
Visiting grapevine at least once a day ha...
