Got Laid off. Got a job. Fu** off Phonepe

Hey guys Got Piped and laid off by my toxic manager giving bullshit reason. The manager was giving random excuses when i asked in details. Anyways toxic people will do toxic things only. On the top of that phonepe was giving PIP to reduce experienced people and was hiring junior engineers to reduce costs.

Finally got a job after few months of efforts. Not that great but I am feeling great to get out of that toxicity. I am feeling better since I left phonepe. When I call my friends back at phonepe, I see them casually mentioning there is too much work I will do on weekend, will sit at night. That's how overworking in normalized. I was also doing the same before and didn't think twice how much I am working.

I Will keep on preparing and would not leave my future in hands of my future or any manager from now on.

Though it’s great you got rid-off toxic manager, I would suggest you to reflect back if there were any short comings on your side. If not, it can become a chapter for you to identify toxicity early. If yes, learn from mistake and never to repeat it again. Sometimes, we miss the opportunity to learn from experiences.

What OP is saying has become common in phonepe and fk. Many high performing ppl were put on pip due to politics.

Interestingly, I feel navigating politics is also an important corporate skill. Staying away isn’t an option anymore.

Interest rate in US is all time high. World has become short term. Corporates think lets fire and if we need or when interest rate is down we can hire again.

Actually you right here, we all have to constantly prepare for the switch. Even I also started preparing and will try to make switch in few months.

These managers should know that if you are toxic then we are also prepared, one mistake and bye bye to the company.
